Thanks for the reply. The HLK-LD2410B with Bluetooth is a good option. I’ve hooked up the LD2410B directly to an Aqara Door sensor to simplify the setup. Everything is set up via the HLK radar apps on Android/iOS, and once it’s done, I won’t be touching it anymore. Yes, I had to sacrifice a Zigbee device where cost is a consideration. I’ve been hesitant to delve into home automation using HA (Home Assistant), as in my personal opinion, running on Homey alone is easier to maintain and has fewer points of failure. However, there’s no doubt that HA has a lot of new features and updates that come out very fast. I think I need to learn HA and ESPHome to keep up with the technology. 😅 Regarding the LD2410B, when it’s hooked up to an ESP8266, there are also other options besides HA or ESPHome. One option is using Tasmota MQTT, which allows you to connect lots of air sensors (temperature, humidity, etc.) together with the LD2410B. Additionally, Tasmota has a built-in IR library, so you can build an IR transmitter/receiver and an air sensor with mmWave radar in a small package, with only a Homey Pro needed. I hope many other Homey users can share how they use the mmWave sensor in this discussion thread. ---

And if it is a yes, I where to find it? **Nevermind, I just read when the phone’s language is set to English, the app is in English** 🤪 ---

Peter, do you think this wil work without HA, with the new ESP home app? > **[ESPhome](https://homey.app/fr-fr/app/nl.inversion.esphome/ESPhome/)** > > Control your ESP8266/ESP32 by simple configuration files. ---

Most probably. When I’m in the mood, I will give it a go with the ESPhome app. A while ago I’ve tried to get it to work fully, with the ESP Easy app, but my questions never got answered by the dev or anyone else, so bye bye ESP Easy app 🤣. > [@\[App\]\[Pro\] ESP Easy (Firmware for ESP32, NodeMCU, Wemos...)](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-esp-easy-firmware-for-esp32-nodemcu-wemos/30381/150): > > Hi Joolee and/or fellow ESP Easy app users, (EDIT: I just enabled Controller 1, configured as HA MQTT → it sends the temp-, humid- and motion values via MQTT w/o any problem) [Screenshot from 2023-06-07 01-00-50] I’m trying to get a DHT11 temp/humid sensor ( @ GPIO-4 D2) to Homey.

Thanks, that will be nice I looked at you GitHub link, and bought an esp32 mini s2. hope I can change my mmWave with doorsensor to one with the esp32 ---

Yeah it works, it’s pretty straightforward, but you have to get a bit familiar with the interface. Only the input sliders aren’t responding yet to changes from Homey to ESPhome, a known bug. > [@\[HOW-TO\]\[Pro\] Using ESPhome devices - no additional hardware](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-pro-using-esphome-devices-no-additional-hardware/90258): > > How to use your ESPHome devices @ Homey → without having to use additional hardware 24/7 (so, no Rpi / mini-pc or anything needed besides your wifi gear) → Initial version; feel free to point out the glitches, to suggest improvements, to add info I forgot ← I’m not into buying mmWave sensors of €85,- and was interested to use [my budget mmWave sensors](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-esphome/87271) directly with Homey, instead of using HomeAssistant as in-between This can be achieved by using this Homey ESPhome app, by Baldhor: F… ---
