🚨 Heads up, everyone! Since ESPHome 2023.8.1, there's been a breaking change for the LD2410. I've updated the blog post to accommodate both versions: those before 2023.8.1 and those after. Make sure to check the relevant section based on your version for a seamless experience.

I have been using the LD2410 for 2 months for a smart toilet in connection with a dimmer switch. Contactless switching on of the lights and adjusting the brightness according to the rising and setting of the sun. The distance parameter of the LD2410 is not reliable because it resets a long time after leaving the detection zone. I have the Motion energy parameter set to 40 to prevent false activations. The shutdown time is 15 seconds. A shorter time may cause the lights to turn off undesired.

3:19 The LD1115H has no gates, making it less customizable than the LD2410, so it depends on the use case, In my experience, both sensors are quite reliable.

I think an ESP32 can work with both a mmWave sensor and a camera connected to it. However, both the mmWave sensor and the camera are power and processing-intensive, which can lead to performance issues and instability. I've seen many projects integrating a PIR sensor with an ESP32 cam, which might be a more suitable option. What's your use case?
