Looks like you are using a LD2410C which has a different form factor to the LD2410A/B so its range coverage would be different from the chart I posted above. Good to know the LD2410C has different sensitivity based on its orientation so adds more options for case design and mounting depending on the required coverage.

is it me or did the LD2410 config of esp home changed so drastically that it broke the old component and configs?
I can’t even open the logs anymore due to the errors in the config:
I have found some new config examples for the number thing and the sensors, but eventhough the config itself is accepted, the compile it not accepting it, so if somebody has a working example with the new number components, that would be great… (or a fix for this old config if that is possible under the old LD2410 component…
Is it me or do people have a problem reading changelogs in this community 
I know, but reading through the docs and looking for examples with the number component still doesn’t work as mentioned in my post…
Do you have a example of your yaml file? I´m in the same boat

Docs? Don’t spout that docs crap…

ah that seems to have been my mistake, the docs referring to the number component for the timeout and G values and such, and looking into that it mainly stated things I didn’t need and because of the writing I assumed that it needed to be configured in the yaml as previous, but the new config leaves everything blank and let you set the values in HA in the entity itself. Way easier to config this way then recompile every time, but the docs could have been more clear about this and state a full example…
I copied yours and it now works like a charm again 
I mean, this could have been way more descriptive…
Number
The ld2410 number allows you to control the configuration of your LD2410 Sensor.
Configuration variables:
timeout (Optional, int): Time in seconds during which presence state will stay present after leaving. Defaults to 5s All options from Number.
light_threshold (Optional, int): Sets the light threshold for the light function. Value between 0 and 255 inclusive. Defaults to 128. All options from Number.
max_move_distance_gate (Optional, int): Maximum distance gate for movement detection. Value between 2 and 8 inclusive. Defaults to 8. All options from Number.
max_still_distance_gate (Optional, int): Maximum distance gate for still detection. Value between 2 and 8 inclusive. Defaults to 8. All options from Number.
gX (Optional): Thresholds for the Xth gate (X => 0 to 8).
move_threshold (Required, int): Threshold for the gate for motion detection. Above this level for the considered gate (distance), movement detection will be triggered. Value between 0 and 100 inclusive. See default values below. All options from Number.
still_threshold (Required, int): Threshold for the gate for still detection. Above this level for the considered gate (distance), still detection will be triggered. Value between 0 and 100 inclusive. See default values below. All options from Number.
ld2410_id (Optional, ID): Manually specify the ID for the LD2410 Sensor component if you are using multiple components.
Will you please post you yaml file?
my yaml also includes a ledstrip, so you can ignore that part if you don’t need it (basically what @Holdestmade posted)

Dont know why, but new config broke my sensor completely.
- It stops reporting any data
- When I try to access device through web interface it resets it.
- When I try to flash updated firmware it resets it and it stops connecting to wifi, just blinks status led

Can you try removing the following from your YAML:
external_components:
source: github://regevbr/esphome@ld2410
components: [ld2410]
Hello, is there any side effects to leave engineering mode on for extended periods in ESPHome?
I’m thinking of charting the energy of all gates and doing some funky processing on the data over a month.
Just a short how did you get this software in an english version, all I see and can find is the Chinese which is gibberish to me.
i have the same problem with the last update of LD2410 and Esphome, there is always 3-4% still energy and my sensor is always in “detect” mode…
I try your settings, its better but still the same problem, the “still energy” take a while to enventually go to 0%, what make the “detect” state false.
Is someone has experiment a similar behaviour please?
EDIT : noob am i…just set the timeout to 10s and work great lol
Tried, same, not working.
[13:12:21][W][ota:102]: Last Boot was an unhandled reset, will proceed to safe mode in 7 restarts
Hoping there comes a new video soon on youtube that explains what just happen and what these new setting do
Older versions defaulted to Chinese if the phone language was not English.
The very most recent one fixed that in the sense that the app defaults to English, now.
esp8266 d1mini. all parameters are not available!
Updated to esp 2023.8.0? Have you read the changelog?
