This sensor works on wifi and can detect humans and also count people inside the room

Are you sure that’s even legal? I have no idea but once you start counting people you get close to unwanted surveillance.

Yes, I need it for management purposes. On the guest side, all is traditional. IOT SSID and home assistant will be on same Vlan locally. even the port for Mikrotik Lora gatwate is on same Vlan

Currently, new hotels are being established for two primary purposes: to assist housekeeping in monitoring which rooms require cleaning when they are unoccupied, and to enable the reception staff to ensure that the number of guests does not exceed the room’s capacity.

In certain labor and student hostels, a charge is applied for four individuals per room; however, some companies accommodate up to eight individuals in a single room. This practice leads to issues in shared areas, such as bathrooms and restaurants, as well as increased expenses for water and electricity.

This might depend on the part of the world you live in,
But for this type of monitoring, my gut feeling is that is not ok, At least not in de EU.
You can monitor exactly when people are in the room or not. 2 people merging into 1 might means something else.

I would be really careful with this,

But your question is, will this device work. I don’t know, if it’s tuya I think you have a chance.

I agree with @bkbartk , tread carefully and if this in within the laws where you are located be sure to inform your guests very good. I for one would not be comfortable living in a hotel where my room’s body count is monitored.
