Question: Using the sensors in HA #1

Open

Hey,

I'm just starting out with ESPHome, and this is the first project I built.
Everything went fine, I can see the sensors in HA.

Dumb question (I think) how do you manage the sensor values in order to detect the correct presence?

I currently have 3 sensor values:

binary_sensor.presence_1_mw_motion_sensor
binary_sensor.presence_1_motion_sensor
binary_sensor.presence_1_pir_motion_sensor

Besides the PIR motion sensor, the others are constantly switching values from „detected” to „no detected motion”

Should I verify the 3 values and set presence if all of the sensors detect something?
Any piece of advice on positioning of the sensors?

Thanks!
Alex
