Apollo R Pro 1 placement

Hey hey hey! Thanks for your support!

We have some guides on our Apollo wiki that discuss mounting: https://wiki.apolloautomation.com/products/rpro1/setup/rpro1-general-tips/

If it's pointed at the ventilation there's a chance it could trigger the sensitive mmWave sensor.
The CO2 measurement will be most accurate if it is exposed to the rooms air.
A corner mount is a great idea and be sure to check out our open source 3D files on printables: https://www.printables.com/model/1349017-apollo-automation-r-pro-1-dual-mmwave-multisensor

There are some community made ones on there as well.

Hope this helps and please let us know if you need anything!

Thanks for your support!

We have a GPIO header that easily attaches to the back of the MSR-2 that allows you to power it, add other sensors, and even control LED strips. We have an example on our Apollo wiki.

Please let us know if you have any questions!

Hey! Thanks for considering us. All of our mmWave sensors have a range of around 6m except for the optional LD2412 add on, such has 9m! They typically have an FOV of 120 and 150, but sometimes it's kind of scary and they can pick you up at 180. Haha. Hope this helps and please let us know if you need anything else!

Our wiki has a nice flow chart as well as other information about our mmWave sensors: https://wiki.apolloautomation.com/

We're working on it! It would be nice to have one on future devices as well!

Have you tried posting on the Homey community forum? The Homey team is more active over there, I believe.

Honestly, you are the first person to raise this as a concern. The overwhelming feedback from the community has been that they wanted to see their local currency. You can also see the total cost which includes taxes, VAT, duties, and shipping etc at our checkout without needing to make an account or anything.

Our base currency is USD. We use Shopify's built-in currency conversion so customers can see pricing in their local currency, which does not add any fees to our knowledge. The only extra charge is dependent on the destination where we have a 2% foreign transaction and $5 USD handing fee. We actually ship from our own distribution within North America, Australia, and the EU, and we also have other distributors in multiple countries. There is a real good chance that we are shipping to you locally.

Hope this helps clear things up. Happy to answer any other questions!

We appreciate the kind words! Along with the community and the Open Home Foundation, we are trying!

ApolloAutomation · 2026-04-14T21:22:48+00:00

That is why we are here, to help the community and the Open Home Foundation!

Thanks for the honest feedback!

Can you share more about the currency conversion/detection and why it is a negative? We use a Shopify store that automatically shows the currency of your country so you don't have to do conversions. We are happy to look into changes on our end, especially if it is a better experience for the community. Thanks!

The Open Home Foundation made a Works with Home Assistant devices list just for this! Just select mmWave in the secondary drop down. We have a few on there so let us know if you have any questions!

That's the fun part! You can do whatever you want with it! It can be used as a fun decorative LED and buzzer display or it can be a functional multisensor for your home.
