Description

This mmWave sensor utilizes Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar principles to detect minute movements and static human presence, offering superior reliability compared to traditional PIR sensors. It analyzes the phase shift of reflected 24GHz signals to determine target distance, speed, and direction, functioning effectively through most non-metallic materials.

The module provides extensive configurability via serial commands, allowing engineers to fine-tune parameters like detection range, sensitivity, and hold time to adapt to specific installation environments—from office energy management to sleep monitoring systems. Its robust design supports an operating temperature range of -20°C to +85°C, ensuring stable performance in varied indoor and sheltered outdoor applications.

Key Features

  • High-sensitivity 24.0–24.25 GHz FMCW radar core for detecting static presence and dynamic motion.
  • Wide 90° horizontal and 60° vertical detection field with configurable range up to approximately 3.5 meters.
  • UART serial interface with 115200 baud rate for real-time data output and parameter configuration.
  • Comprehensive Arduino library and visual configuration tools for simplified setup and debugging.
  • Direct integration support for Home Assistant and ESPHome firmware for smart home automation.
  • Low-power operation with 4.5–5.0V supply voltage and typical current draw of 95–120 mA.
  • Compact and shielded design with 10 dBi antenna gain for reliable performance in cluttered RF environments.

Applications

  • Automatic lighting control and occupancy sensing for energy savings in offices and homes.
  • Touchless door activation and presence-triggered security systems.
  • Smart appliance control (TVs, bathroom fixtures) based on user presence.
  • Sleep quality monitoring and non-invasive activity tracking.
  • IPC camera trigger and whole-house monitoring for security and automation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this mmWave sensor?

The module requires a regulated DC power supply between 4.5V and 5.0V. Exceeding this range may damage the internal RF components. Typical operating current is between 95 mA and 120 mA.

How do I communicate with and configure the sensor?

The sensor uses a UART serial interface at a fixed 115200 baud rate. You can send configuration commands and read detection data via TX/RX pins. Seeed Studio Studio provides an Arduino library and visual configuration tools to simplify parameter adjustment for range, sensitivity, and trigger conditions.

What is the maximum detection range for human presence?

The default static presence detection range is approximately 3 to 3.5 meters. This range is configurable via serial commands, allowing you to reduce it for smaller rooms or increase sensitivity for specific applications, though maximum reliable range is limited by the 6-8 dBm output power and environment.

Can this sensor detect through walls or obstacles?

As an RF-based sensor, it can detect movement through thin, non-metallic materials like drywall, wood, or plastic. However, metallic objects and thick, dense materials will block the 24GHz signal. It is designed for line-of-sight or semi-obstructed indoor applications like ceiling-mounted occupancy sensing.

Is this sensor compatible with ESP32 and Home Assistant?

Yes. The UART interface makes it directly compatible with any microcontroller with a serial port, including ESP32, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi. Official integration guides are provided for ESPHome and Home Assistant, allowing you to add presence detection as a native entity in your home automation dashboard.
