Reading changelogs (specially breaking changes 
) is advisable 
LD2410
The LD2410 component has had a massive upgrade thanks to @regevbr! It now supports settings most if not all configuration parameters via
switches/numbersandselectsand exposes more data via varioussensors. This includes breaking changes that mean the existing gate configuration options have been moved to thenumberplatform.
Did you in-cooperate the updated component? 
Thanks for that.
I don’t know how to make it work since the update. Is it a change in the ESP32’s YAML code or something else?
Are there any examples I can see?
Thanks
the documentation is quite extensive 
I’m still stymied. This was my original YAML that worked until the ESPHome update:

What do I need to change to make it work?
what do the log(s) say why it doesn’t work?
The documentation linked above has the code there to get it to work. Replace your YAML code sections with the example in the documentation.
With the update, all the configuration is now done in HA and not in the ESPHome code so all the gate thresholds are defined differently and in the following format now:
sensor:
- platform: ld2410
g0:
move_energy:
name: g0 move energy
still_energy:
name: g0 still energy
g1:
move_energy:
name: g1 move energy
still_energy:
name: g1 still energy
number:
- platform: ld2410
g0:
move_threshold:
name: g0 move threshold
still_threshold:
name: g0 still threshold
g1:
move_threshold:
name: g1 move threshold
still_threshold:
name: g1 still threshold
and so on.
You should also try using the search function on this forum. There is a long thread with extensive information on the LD2410 sensor with ESPHome:
Many thanks for your reply.
You’ll have to forgive my ignorance, if possible!
Do you mean that the 2410 is now configured in configuration.yaml instead of the ESPHome yaml?
Either way, I can’t figure out how the code should be formatted. I’ve tried replacing blocks of code as suggested, but keep getting errors. I could really use a walk through.
My apologies if I’ve violated the Helpdesk dictum, but I’ve seen hundreds of posts on this forum that do seem to ask for code examples. In fact, I cobbled together the original code in my example and shared it to others here.
I’ve been using HA for years now, but I am still only at an intermediate level as far as coding goes. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
You really missed it totally 
How to help us help you - or How to ask a good question
Before we begin…
This forum is not a helpdesk
The people here don’t work for Home Assistant, that’s an open source project. We are volunteering our free time to help others. Not all topics may get an answer, never mind one that helps you solve your problem.
Thanks for your help.
Not.
No the configuration is now done from the Home Assistant UI. Once setup you no longer need to edit any YAML code for configuration.
I have replaced the sections of your YAML with the code snippets from the LD2410 documentation page.
Next time, if you are requesting for help, please also post the errors that you are getting and others can help you understand what the problem is and how to fix it. Spacing in YAML is very important and most issues are often due to formatting with incorrect spacing.

Thank you so much for this. And thanks for your patience and understanding.
I’ve managed to flash it to the ESP32 and it is now in ESPHome.
Unfortunately, the entities are reporting ‘Unknown’. Don’t know why.
I think this is the relevant bit of the log:

Are all the entities returning unknown or just the energy ones? The energy values are only sent if engineering mode is enabled.
Does anything change if you turn on engineering mode on the LD2410?
Can you connect to the LD2410 via bluetooth using the HLKRadarTool app on your phone to confirm that the LD2410 is working and detecting presence?
You can also try changing the esp framework to be type: esp-idf
Here is my YAML config. I’ve enabled bluetooth proxy and also added some extra functionality to turn on the on-board LED on my ESP32 board when there is either movement or presence detected and swithces to toggle that on or off.

All the entities are Unknown. Enabling Engineering Mode makes no difference.
The HLK Radar Tool doesn’t find any devices. This is odd as I have another LD2410b which is just connected to power and is acting as a presence detector for Home Assistant via BLE. It is functioning perfectly and is really quick and reliable. It is working through the inbuilt Bluetooth on the NUC which runs my HA.
I originally tried connecting the problem 2410 via an ESP32 Bluetooth proxy, but it would drop out all the time. So I investigated and finally figured out how to connect it directly to the ESP32 as a sensor. That worked great until the ESPHome upgrade.
I also tried your suggestion of changing the framework to esp-idf. No joy.
I’ve tried copying bits of your YAML into mine, but most times it won’t compile.
I remember when I first patched together my then working YAML, that I had to try different names for the uart_id. Seems uart0 and uart1 are reserved. uart00 didn’t work, but uart01 did. I’ve tried now changing the uart names, but again, it doesn’t help.
It might be worth checking the wiring connections from the LD2410 to the ESP32 board. If it is not appearing in the HLKRadarTool app then it sounds like the LD2410 board is not receiving power and thus not actually working at all.
Even when connected via the ESP32 board, you should be able to connect via bluetooth to the LD2410 B/C boards (unless it is the LD2410A board which does not have bluetooth).
Thanks. I’ll check, but it was working flawlessly until the ESPHome upgrade. Also, it is being picked up by my router and ESPHome, so power must be getting to it.
Also, that doesn’t explain why the other, working 2410 is not being seen by the Radar Tool either.
They’re both 2410b.
Where did yoy get your code from in the first place?
I believe the Bluetooth on the LD2410 board can only have one active connection, so if HA is connected to it, then the HLKRadarTool app is not able to connect to it.
Your router would be picking up the ESP32 board and not the LD2410 board. You said that ESPHome has all the sensors as unknown so that would mean that ESPHome is not seeing the LD2410 board either.
So it is worth double checking the wiring and any soldering to make sure the LD2410 board is getting the 5v it needs
I cobbled it together from various places on the internet. Mainly from posts on this forum.
Took me a lot of trial and error to get it right.
But that is redundant now. The new YAML code is working!
Damn! You were right!!!
It’s working. Must have been a loose connection in the wiring.
I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your help and perseverance.
I’ve been using HA for years, but in some ways, I am still a noob. I’m always learning.
Many thanks again.
Nice! Now mark his answer as the solution so others can benefit from it
