LD2410 esphome tips

Anything. Some electric appliance, curtains, fan and so on. It doubtedly the Ld bug, your should search smth external.

It is installed in the bathroom, without a curtain and no electrical equipment in the bathroom. The only things in the bathroom are the LD2410 and 1 sonoff mini.
The only thing that comes to mind would be some anomaly in the power source, I’m using a Hi-Link power source

that should be enough for them.
Self noice? (bad fixing)
Thin walls

Note that radar goes through walls, especially wooden, thin ones…

The walls are made of bricks.
The sensor is well fixed to the ceiling, made of concrete.
A little far from the power source, 15cm maybe.
The sensor pins are directly soldered to the esp32.

The high peaks are due to some movement close to the door, but there is nothing in the vicinity of the sensor/bathroom that could cause this increase in the gates for 8/10 hours straight.

I got my ld2510c going and now I’m trying a ld2450. I have error logs and will add them here. It might not take much to fix, I’m just calling it quits for now.

Not sure were I can post the code from my compile log files. I’ll poke around and see if I can attach it here or post it to GitHub and link it here.

On a different note, I’m happy to report I have my EP1 connected to HA and my Aqara Fp2 also.

I haven’t done anything with the EP1 at all since adding it and I have the Fp2 ruining the open floor plan portion of my home setup and it works pretty amazing. I also have a few ld2410c units running on Waveshare ESP32C3 minis that I haven’t learned how to configure the gates for yet. I’m just trying to get everything accessible so I can start to configure them and write automations. Any tips would be greatly appreciated and if I can help anyone with setting up something please ask. I’ll be around a lot I believe as I’m going to be playing around with this tech for pretty often.

Yaml, though tile is for a 2410c:

There are 2 files but I’m to tired to double check which one of these isn’t one. Let me know if the links work please.

Hope everyone has a good day, thanks for all your assistance.

I finally got it to pull it’s config from GitHub or something. Pretty cool how it works, though I had a bit of trouble, probably do to my dns settings. Thanks for posting this. I wonder what type of custom things I can add to the config because it has everything auto configured except beta features from what I’ve seen so far.

For more details on the LD2450, there is lots of info in this thread:

Thanks, not sure were I got the SCREEK config, I think it was this tread. I just need to fix what might be the last error, though I’m sure I’m speaking to soon, as something else may manifest after this error is corrected as I’ve learned from experience and due to lack of coding skills. Just like the ld2410, there are quite a few versions of this project available. Apparently my config just has a bracket where something else is expected or something like that. Thing is I don’t see this issue visually so it may be a bad blank spacing code or something. I will get some time investigate further tonight hopefully.

hi, gus, it’s seems the new ld2412 will release soon:)

It’s possible, yaml is very strict about spaces, etc., and you might want to provide logs of what went wrong, it would be easier to troubleshoot based on those clues.

Good morning everyone, my sensor Ld2410C in the bathroom works well, the only problem is that it is active when the dryer is running.
On what parameters could I intervene? Thanks

While the dryer is running, you should enable Engineering Mode and that will provide you with the still and movement energy levels the LD2410 is detecting for each gate. You can use this information to then set the gate levels accordingly.
For example, if gate 4 is reading high levels due to the dryer, then you will need to adjust the gate 4 still and/or move levels until the LD2410 no longer detects it.

Hi good day everyone, I just built my first LD2410 sensor connected to wemos d1 mini esp8266 and Ive got some strange value. Some of gate energy randomly spike the value until above 100%. and thats cause many false binary presence detections. Can I ask your advice for my case?

I attached the clip and image. Thanks in advance

[EDITED] problm solved. the root cause is from uart logger and wifi improve serial line.
Thank you

I am currently running Esphome on a esp32dev board with an LD2410c connected via UART. I am also running bluetooth proxy on this board. My question is, in order to use the bluetooth on the LD2410c, would I need to enable Bluetooth in the settings? I understand that the esp32 board itself has bluetooth, but I am confused as to which it uses when the toggle is activated in my entity.

just wondering, why would you keep the 2410 connected via serial to a ESP if you can use it via BT? is there any needed function you can’t manage via BT?

One biiig cause: BT is too unreliable. connection is often terminated, unavailable… BT on LD2410 has extremely low range. I’ve had it connected with BT proxy 2m away and i’ve had dropouts.

makes sense :slight_smile:
maybe this is one of the reasons why HiLink added a dedicated antenna for BT in the LD2450 sensor… (indeed, i never had dropouts with this…)

Post your YAML.

Also YAML dependent. If you used the config’s floating around specifically for the LD2410C, then odds are it’s toggling the BT on the sensor.

solved, the root cause is due to uart logger. thank you
