It depends on the way you set this up but if you use

if presence sensor 1 or presence sensor 2 changes to present/not present

$currentEventDevice is the way to go

if presence sensor 1 or presence sensor 2 is present/not present

You can also use $currentEventDevice but if you wanted to capture all of them that meet the condition then it is a little more involved.

Define a device type variable. Name it whatever you want. Then click the cog and you can save the matching list to your variable you created.
