Hey all
Do any of you have any experience with a presence (mmWave) device that is compatible with Homey Pro?
My need is, I have a small room, that I would like to know if somebody is presence in the room.
The SONOFF Zigbee Human Presence Sensor (SNZB-06P) should be sufficient for a small room. The maximum range is approx. 4 meters.
I have already used this myself and have had very good experiences with it. However, I have not yet used any other presence sensor as a comparison.
You should know, that people are also detected through wooden doors. In my case, the roller blinds were also detected as movement when they were closed/opened.
This sensor is supported by the test version of the community SONOFF Zigbee app and the official Sonoff app.
I have the SONOFF presence sensor setup in my home office, and the Aqara presence sensor in my Kitchen/Dining Room.
The SONOFF sensor is much easier to setup and get working. Works great, but not a lot of features beyond basic presence sense.
The Aqara sensor is much fancier, but not natively supported and kind of a lot of work to get going. I use it in my kitchen and dining room because it has zones so it can cover both rooms separately.
Also the SONOFF sensor is less than half the price.
Any new devices that are now supported?
Meross MS600 works (via Thread on Homey Pro - early 2023). But only basic presence and lux. No movement.
Here’s a review (not in Homey)

But… why do you put it that way: presence is the main purpose of a mmWave sensor!
Some detect motion too slow, so additional motion sensors might be needed in certain situations.
Because the MS600 has also a PIR sensor for movement.
I pointed it out for more information in case you want to integrate it into Homey
