mmWave Presence Detection - ESPHome style

Can you tell us more about it?

The Hi-Link site has some detail but brings up a few more questions:

  • do you have a datasheet detailing the serial comms?
  • where do you have this deployed as the range looks somewhat limiting:
    “Antenna half power angle horizontal ±57°, vertical ±24°”
  • how accurate is the “static body detection coverage radius 2m” ? this would be a deal-breaker for me
  • does it output any additional information? (distance/direction/etc)
  • what configuration parameters does it accept?
  • what is the minimum hold/delay/latency for Occupied-to-Unoccupied?

We have learned from our SeeedStudio experience that the details can make or break a sensors use-case flexibility.
