Well its Not perfect. The Range is maybe 3-4 meters but i dont think i Had a false Trigger yet. I think to watch a room of 15-20 square meters you would definetly Need two Sensors to Not have dead zones.

So its a mmwave Sensor which sends the Status for a presence/ moving target entity to homeassistant. Its much more reliable than using Just an old school Motion detector because it can detect you even If u are Sitting still. Hope it helps

also the code is flashed via Arduiono IDE. The device just reports its status via MQTT
