Hey, I recently used this tiny 24GHz mmWave for XIAO to connect to HA. May you’d love to include it in the list? Here is the link: -redacted-
Added! Thanks.
Hi Susan, do you mind to share do you 3D print the case to hold the sensor or buy from any shopping platform?
I would love to see a column for “Works with ESPHome” instead of having that in the Notes.
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll se if I can make it work!
Cheers
Nice work, could you also add a column for `Zone` support?
Thanks
Which would be best for celling mounted operation?
I would say you cant go wrong with the LD2410b/LD2410C.
What about with multi person tracking?
What about for multiple person detection?
Is the Seed Studio 24GHz XIAO a Hilink device of somekind?
I would go for the LD2450. Tested it extensively in the Apollo MSR-2, works very very well.
https://smarthomescene.com/reviews/apollo-mtr-1-multi-target-tracking-radar-review/
Amazing thanks. I was worried ceiling mounting would cause an issue.
Hi! Can’t find anywhere how are the angles specified? Horizontal x vertical or vice versa?
The first value is always the horizontal axis (X) and the latter the vertical (Y)
Hi,
I need to count persons in a room, tracking is not necessary. Is there a mmwave sensor that allows to count more than 3 persons like LD2450?
Or is there a sensor which firmware can be programmed so, that the sensor outputs more like “raw data”, which would be then processed in TinyML or similar.
The LD2450 is your best bet. You will find most data/info about it and be able to tweak it the most
Does anyone know if there’s an easy way to add the Hi-Link HLK-LD6002 to ESPHome?
What are your thoughts on the IWR6843?
It’s a very powerful radar sensor, capable of detecting presence in zones and tracking of multiple targets.
It’s used in the Aqara FP2, implemented in the same way. DYI wise, I’m not sure it’s worth investing time into though.
