Who know, what this Setting mean?
Appeared after firmware and App update.
The new update ESPhome brought the natively supported LD2410 sensor.
Has anyone tried it, how does it work?
I have tried with an nodemcu, but no luck yet, i will try to give 5V with external Power this evening
I had it working prior to updating this morning however since I have updated it no longer connects. I tried removing the Integration and it gets discovered but when I hit submit it fails from not connecting.
So the first ld 2410 failed don’t know why, now tried to compile an ESP32, then it gives me “You’re using the same serial port for logging and the UART component. Please disable logging over the serial port by setting logger->baud_rate to 0.”
What is this?
Took the sample code from the Esphome site and just named TX and RX. I do not understand what the problem can be
Look here and you will understand
Please tell me when you sit next to him for 5 minutes is it “detected” all the time or after a few seconds it says “clear” and at the first movement it says “detected” and then “clear”?
I mean, these 5 minutes you’re standing in front of it output is 3.3 volts the whole time?
In my tests it should still indicate “detected”. It depends a lot from the settings. Remember that you can set the levels above which your sensor will detect presence, and this can be set up for each “range” separately (also separately for movement and for still presence).
I did such play connecting sensor to app and sitting still or moving with different setting - on the app you can see the sensor behaviour quite well.
Also from my experience with the right setup the sensor can sense you breathing - thus if you sit still and breathe you will be detected 
I manage few times to force myself to really sit still and tried to minimise/“stop” breathing - this makes sensor detecting less movement energy and may lead to “clear” status - but I believe it is also possible to eliminate by changing sensitivity.
I have installed it in my toilet 2 month ago and it works very well when “sitting” there longer 
Looking forward for summer when some flies or small bugs will be in hose and potentially will trigger the sensor…

If I understand the settings correctly, the lower the number (0-100), the smaller the detection. The value 0 means that it does not detect in the zone that is set this way?
Sensibility setting in the app is defining the level at which (or above which) the sensor detects presence (or stillness). So the lower the number the higher sensitivity. It defined the level of detected energy to trigger the presence. So 100 will make sensor not detecting anything.
Thanks for clarifying and correcting me that I understood it the other way around.
Logging also uses serial port, so you need to switch off local logging by
# Enable logging
logger:
baud_rate: 0
I have 4 presence detection with Wemos D1 mini base on the custom_component and its working great.
I see that EspHome 2023.2.0 have now LD2410 native component, so i copy the new config example in a new device page but i get theses errors :

should i remove the custom_component to make the native work? i dont think so…

seems the ld2410 is not recognize…update problem of esphome?

the app still in chinese even if i switch to “english” down of the website…
The reason Was to change TX and RX, now the sensor works, but the presence state goes not to Unoccupied, this sensor is complicated to setting up
Set the sensor to the default values according to the table and start tuning the zones from there. It’s easier to work with than using the code from the documentation.

I find it easiest to work with application (either mobile or laptop) - after few minutes the idea of distance/energy sensor setting looks clear.
App for Windows and iOS is in English.
I think that if some values are set in the application and they are different in the yaml esp, then when compiling or updating the modules, these values will be overwritten according to the yaml code.
Yes that really helped, entered the things from the table and immediately the presence went to unoccupied where I left the room. Thanks for the tip, the other way around I can not imagine that this Beispielyaml works for anyone, the presence does not go at all on unoccupied.Hope that some read this before they paste the example yaml Copy
