Has anyone gotten this sensor to work in Home Assistant or maybe ESPHome? Or can someone help me display any values in home assistant from the sensor?

It has an analog output. ESPHome has an ADC. So yes you can connect it.

Thanks for your fast answere.

And this can show me in home assistant if this sensor is triggered, too??

Yes. It can show you a value that you may choose to trigger on.

Actually it appears that the output is digital so it should be very easy. You don’t even need to use the ADC input, any GPIO will do.
