Rd-01 24G Radar human body sensing module

Hardware

Bought a few of these RD-01 millimeter wave sensor to see how they work anyone else tried them. The Software they have to setup the Radar is only in Chinese but people have translated it to English. It has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in so it should be nice how small it is and low power consumption.
Just wondering what you think about them?

Hi Scott,

I saw them at Aliexpress as well and ordered a couple a few days ago. They should arrive in the coming week.

I will report back here after I tested them.

Did you already manage to get them integrated into Hass in some way? And how is the wifi interface working, is it like a built-in ESP or different?

Hello Scott,

Did you already have any luck with the modules you bought?
I have received mine, flashed them and tried to turn on the Wifi & BT but without any succes yet.

@Smash54 @Yannicflight
Did you guys manage to get this working in HA? Using ESPHome?

Any comments on the actual working of the board - is the detection as desired, false triggers manageable, wifi stable etc.?

Any luck on this?
