Amazing video! Just would like to add few observations I had while working with this sensor: 1. Yes, they work even when placed behind a plastic surface and even through thin concrete walls. Metal is the only enemy of the microwave sensor 2. The current consumption in idle state is higher for microwave sensor (approx. few milliAmps) when compared to PIR sensor (in range of few microAmps) so in case used in a battery powered product, PIR would take the front seat. Apart from that it is definitely a pretty cool sensor and you seem to have covered all the essentials already!

thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge
No microwave sensors do not work on SONAR, it works on Doppler effect which is totally different concept from Sonar which you mentioned. Sonar works on time of flight where as Doppler effect is change in frequencies which is used in radar. This sensor is not new, it's been in the market for couple of years now. Microwave sensors have their own disadvantages compared to PIR sensors so you need to explore a bit more and also mention them in your videos.
Really Amazing sensor I never knew about this before I had not used it. I have Used PIR Sensor. Now I will surely try with microwave motion sensor. Thanks a lot Sachin for this valued information
I'm getting one of these :) I've done lots of PIR but this is much better. Thank you for your time and work.

Yes I have used both of them but some applications require line of sight motion detection where microwave sensor would be prone to unwanted triggers, as have installed IR motion sensor in my bathroom for light and exhaust fan.
Will it detect the small fan's rotation as motion? Fans which are inside the network switches?
Thank you
Thank you Sachin for this Super Valued Information. Keep posting informative videos like this. We were planning to build a security device using Motion sensor but confused about the using of PIR or Microwave ( For there performance). This video will surely help us to decide which sensor to use in our product. Thank you..

Brother you did it very well, but can we add this motion sensor to cadio Just like even if sensor in active state but if we don't need any use of applience , we just turn it off by using Manual switch or from cadio mobile rather it will be in on state. Is it possible
Hey dude! First thing thanks for sharing affirmative knowledge and your hardwork. Now try to make tracking face with microwave motion sensor and servo motor. this is something new in KZread ! Try it if you can !
Very interesting, but you forgot to show us the range of the microwave sensor
I'm using this sensor for the past 2 years. Good one...

Well, as per my installation, yes it will trigger when the fan is on. But first thing, we rarely turn on the fan in the studio. secondly, if you need to turn the fan on, well you need to change the location of the sensor installation and also change the sensitivity a bit
sir u can try RCWL-0516 sensor and make a project using esp32

I'd go with LD2410 (High Sensitivity 24GHz Human Presence Status Radar modules) these days, as well as sensing movement they also cover pressence and open up more options with that.
Please make one video with Google assistant and microwave sensor.
The problems is PIR sensor will be detect the presence of human with out any movement. But microwave sensor will be off there is no movement. Etc.. we are provided air condition with this, sleeping time AC will be turn off because there is no movement. The sensor useful for crowded area.

It’s definitely a printing mistake and MW is too much. And if you search for radiation from a mobile phone then it will be maximum 2 watts. So with this we can say that it’s a print mistake

You can say (We) instead of ( I ) or (my friend) attached the sensor because clearly you did not attach it (at 6:06) so the person doesn't feel resentment. Just a tıp because happened to me few times. Nice information by the way.
