Yeah, I forgot to post a follow up to my [earlier post](https://community.homey.app/t/created-a-mmwave-pir-presence-sensor-with-temp-and-humidity-and-luminance/76714/22)

I bought it for € 14 (€ 8 electronics & € 6 housing), you have to add € 7 - € 20 for a 5V USB power supply & 3mtr USB-C cable. I bought 5V1A PSUs

Here’s some details:

Sort of offtopic: I’ve this working in HA, via local wifi. @ Homey, I’ve managed to add it as a ESP Easy device (Homey ESPeasy app), I can add sensors and it shows all connections, but it stays quiet: no sensor values/updates. It involves some DIY soldering, but it is only E14,- (with box, without PSU) and it simply tracks one zone and does not ‘see’ the difference when one or more persons are in range. Up to 6 meters, but the occupancy function works very well though! It is a…

##### HA device + device settings:

##### Homey:

It’s just a motion sensor, which keeps ‘in alarm’ as long as the sensor detects presence. It can be excluded from zone activity. This is a device from the [HA community app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-home-assistant-community-app/71477).  
I did not find a way yet, to get adjustable MaxDistance and SensitivityThreshold entities to Homey

##### It’s pretty small:

##### This is my kitchen ‘scanner’. Hidden from view inside a (fake) flower pot on top of the fridge 😉

The temp/humid sensor had to be outside the housing (or drilling multiple holes in the housing will do).

##### There’s also a webpage (from the ESP8266 unit) for monitoring the detection to finetune things
