Do you use any mmWave sensors in your smart home? Let me know which ones below!

[@JoeMama-ts6yz]

I have a couple FP1's, but this seems like a good consideration when I need more

[@ZoomtronicBlogspot]

I use esp012 with LD2410, irreplaceable for accurate presence detection

[@Sama_09]

Also you can add the height reading from the standing desk with the rj45 cable.

Do I use mmWave sensors? Just bought two of the MSR-2's. One with cO2 sensor. I've been using battery powered motion sensors to turn on lights, but the time delay to activate, connect to the wifi and then execute the automation was making my wife "unhappy" (especially in the bathroom at night). So I'm trying these mmwaves and impressed so far... just a little tricky to fine tune.

Great job on the video man!

[@BeardedTechGuy]

Thank you!

[@ntsp00]

Mind linking where you found that dashboard to help with configuring the MSR-2? Thanks!

[@BeardedTechGuy]

gist.github.com/TrevorSchirmer/565648b8b6982dfc3cb4d5da9dae7fda Requires the "layout-card" and "Mini graph card" For it to work with the MSR-2 (was created for MSR-1) and want the radar resolution / gate size entity, you need to change "_radar_distance_resolution" to "_ld2410_gate_size" on top of enabling it

[@whereswardlaw]

@@BeardedTechGuy Just going to ask this question. Thanks. It's working great... Setting gates and zones is a little tricky. I think this will help!

[@ph15h]

have you compared the msr-2 to their mtr-1 yet?

[@BeardedTechGuy]

I actually have the MTR-1, just haven't been able to fully mess around with it yet though! Do you have any specific questions about the MTR-1? I can try to answer them the best I can

[@settlece]

thanks great vid

[@BeardedTechGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

- Smallest Presence Sensor Yet - No - Smallest Сombined Sensor Yet - Probably

[@njain2686]

Not the smallest.
