I believe the LD2410 was primarily designed for indoor use so I’m not sure how well it will be able to handle not detecting rain.
I would enable Engineering Mode and look at the move and still energy % for each gate (0 to 8) while it is raining with no other movement outside and then adjust all the Move and Still Thresholds to above those for each gate.
I’m also not sure how will handle windy days causing other movements that may get detected.
The ‘Failed to obtain the firmware:-1’ error only appears in the Play store version of the HLKRadarTool app (v1.1.32).
When using v1.1.22 of the app, the available firmwares load and display fine.
Just for info.
Latest HLKRadar update from Play store fixes update fw issue.

Thanks. You are correct. The Playstore version has been updated to v1.1.37 and has corrected the firmware issue.
Is it possible to use more than one ld2410 sensor on an esp32?

I have 2 LD2410 via UART, same device (ESP32dev).
The first has more load (2 reed switches, 8x relay board, hall sensor and LD2410) goes sweet.
Have another with same config for LD2410, plus 2 relay, same TX/Rx Pins, give one time this error starting the log:
[E][ld2410:336]: Error with last command : incorrect Header
But works well. The config is from the docs.

you have to change DeviceName in substitution (esphome config), and rename it into the lovelace card (DeviceName)

Not sure what skizzo’s talking about since I only see one uart being configured, but I did manage to figure it out myself, though there is one anomaly in the output. I would have expected that ld2410_id would serve to impart separate sensor names in HA, this proved not to be the case, maybe I’m missing something that would make this happen or maybe it’s a bug. In any case here is my working code, though I’ve only got two uart’s available on my ESP32-S2 mini.

I thought I almost finish almost 3 day calibration with trial and error in bathroom where washing machine and the dryer is installed. And then, wife turned on the washing machine and the dryer… it detects around 40-50% of presence… any ideas how to ignore these peaks?
If you monitor the machines you would be able to filter this false positive.
And in certain situations we must associate a PIR.
I have put together some graphs similar to the HLKRadarTool app using Apex Charts (installed from HACS).
The following code is based on the work done by patrick3399:
Add the following to configuration.yaml
template:
- sensor:

{{ now() }}

I have installed ld2410b in my stairs. Also I have set up an alarm that i activate whenever i am away. Where I live there are house geckos. It’s impossible to set gates value to a position where it can ignore geckos and still turn on light from first steps of stairs. In my opinion ignoring flies can be done but geckos and maybe mice seems difficult without compromising on light triggering time upon human presence.
Edit: I have noticed that after the last esphome update that included ld2410, sensors seems to have a bit more delay. Maybe it’s just in my mind that they seems a little slow.
You can set it:
ld2410:
# Time in milliseconds to control the rate of data updates. Defaults to 1000ms.
throttle: 1500ms

Yes but I found there’s some slight interference in between them when looking at the movement and still energy
Have you guys tried the OUT PIN in the PCB to see if it’s quicker than getting the presence status from the UART port?
BTW I’ve some custom configurations using bar charts (based on another config I found on Github) and it’s really easy to calibrate it this way because you can see the current value vs the target in a very visual way. Attaching a screenshot and video! Let me know if it’s interesting I can share my config

Is this the same ‘Out Pin’ as the ‘Out pin Presence Status’ from diagnostics? If it is then for me it is always alternating between Home and Away without any presence.
Throttle seems to be working in most situations i.e. in my kitchen, entrance etc. But in stairs as the sensor is at top of stairs looking down from above it is still laggy. I have even tried lowering G6, G7 and G8. Still after i get into its line of site and stay there at first step from bottom it takes a bit of time to see me(values go up gradually). I will try changing it’s angle more downwards towards the stairs. Right now i have stuck it on the wall with hot glue facing downwards a little.
