    I specifically would not go down that path because the motion sensor can turn off the lights automatically and most presence sensors require constant power to work and are expensive. I am getting around this limitation at my house, where we keep the bathroom door open when it is not in use, by not allowing the light to turn off in the bathroom when the door is closed but allowing it to turn off when the door is opened, using conditional logic in our automations. And to trigger the automation, we use the motion sensor not detecting motion.

      Mine was like $10. Works flawlessly. Can be switched from motion sensing to occupancy.
