Oh btw...I subscribed & like this. I've been an engineer for a few decades now but totally a hands on & DIY guy & LOVE learning about new technology, especially in the digital world since I'm a mechanical/packaging engineer & this is not my strength...yet But have three 3D printers now and working on a haptics design involving mini-controllers, ESP tech, VR & the hardware (body) designing. So really a wide spectrum. The last 6+ yrs I've used the Arduino here & there on some things. This home automation though is on my list of projects after I finish installing a mini-split heat pump at my little house in LA. Got here from Chicago a few years ago & 4 miles from Pacific & u would be surprised how damp & chilly the nights are! Holy cow Anyway these mini sensors and how easy we can design & integrate them into a home monitoring system is unreal. I want to have a bunch of custom 3D printed cases around my place that can monitor temp, humidity, wind speed & direction, sense movement outdoors around me, and if possible the quality of air. ESPHome seems like an excellent choice for this. Couple questions if you would be so kind to answer: :) Can this data collected in ESPHome be put into graphic visual display gauges instead of raw data form? Is this ESPHome the best open source option, for collecting a wide range of data in a local area like your home or office? 1 goal I've always had is having all this sensing data to be not on your phone, but on your wrist. Where a haptic vibration gives you alerts. Wherever I'm at if a delivery is made to my door, the haptic vibration goes off...for example. PLus allowing me a small watch screen 2 view all all the data or gauges. I have my phone w/me going out like everybody else...but not attached 2 my body where I can get silent notices...and very fast access for viewing. Sorry for the long post! My mind races with excitement Cheers

Excellent video! It has truly inspired me! After watching this I ordered all the parts to prototype one out for myself. I've got it setup in my bedroom for now to control a minisplit. I am curious if you have any suggestions on how to prevent detection of ceiling fan motion? Currently I've just physically moved the orientation of the sensor such that it doesn't seem to pick it up. The consequence of that is it limits some detection in areas where I'd want it! Additionally I've noticed it will detect movement on the floor below! Crazy! Was curious any suggestions on avoid that as well? The only thing that I've tried for that is adjusting the distance detection as well as using aluminum foil (which looks bad) to mitigate detection. Both are effective, but same issue as before then detection is limited in areas where I want it to detect. Thanks again!

Hi Travis, I'm trying to copy this project but not having much success, the Icuupancy status just stays as Clearance the whole time. I used your yaml (but removed the temp/humidity sensor). Any idea what could be going on?

You might need to turn on the debug in yaml for the data coming back from the sensor to make sure it is receiving.

@@digiblurDIY I've tried turning on debug, different ESP32, an ESP 8266 and nothing is working. I purchased 4 of these sensores and none of them seem to be working. What are the odds all 4 are DOA.... do you know of any other way to debug these sensors?

Actually nevermind! It just started working.... not sure what I did different but its working with one of the sensors, going to test with the others now. Thanks for your help.

Apparently it helps if you use the right pins! :) I was using the worng headers on the sensor.

5v power supply in the attic powers a few ESP based devices around.

Why do you recommend one mmWave sensor over the other?

I had a segment I recorded with showing a few sensors and why I skipped them or removed them from testing that I'm going to post. It made the video way too long and might have been boring for some, lol. I'll do a standalone of it.

I have two of them already. Simple one off of this is simple to throw some glue and be done. If I was making 10 of them. I would probably do a PCB as well.

I doubt it. But maybe with the sensitivity turned low enough it might.

I'm new to the whole Home Assistant/Home Automation rabbit hole. I'm a developer by trade and have some electronics training, so I'm not afraid of a bit of soldering or code. I came across this video looking for a DIY presence sensor. I love your fun, but straight forward info. I had to subscribe after seeing this video!

@@digiblurDIY - Have you done any work with LUX sensors as well? The goal here is to do a multi-sensor setup with sensors recommended here for presence, temp/humidity, etc. Do you have a recommendation for a lux sensor? I'd like to setup an automation to automatically turn on the lights in a room based on a combination of factors, including presence and current light levels in the room.

@DeliberateGeek yup! I have used the both the analog and i2c versions. I prefer the i2c for simplicity. I used a TSL2561 several years ago in a project and it worked well so far.

Yes the 1115 didn't have the various settings to tweak it as needed.
