Thank you for creating this video, and I wish more youtubers would create videos such as these where we can buy cheap sensors for Home Assistant. Please keep making more videos like these.
I Interfaced my LD2410B to the ESP32 NodeMcu Development Board WROOM 32 30 pinsDual Core WLAN WiFi Bluetooth module. This has a micro USB socket. Also has 5v and Ground pins on board enabling connection to power the LD2410B. This increases the range of the LD2410B considerably using the boards WiFi and BLE in combination with the HA ESPhome integration.
I've also had connectivity issues with both sensors. It may be useful for other people to maybe include in the article how to use them through the esp Bluetooth proxy. I found that this makes them 100% reliable. I'd be happy to help with some troubleshooting of the esp method if needed
I second this, both sensors were frozen when operating on their own. I used ESP32 as well as Rasp Pi 4B. I've now gone and have them attached to ESP32 and has been working flawlessly!
I have tried this through numerous esp32 BLE proxy’s and numerous distances from the sensor and I can not get it to stay connected. I’ve given up with it, do you have any advice, I don’t know what else to try
Did you ever compare the LD2410 to RCWL-0516 micro wave radar sensors? Of course the RCWL-0516 uses a GPIO pin on the microcontroller which could be changed by putting a MCP23016 between the sensor(s) and the microcontroller. I do not have enough experience with both to determine which one is better. I only saw that the price for the LD2410 is 3EUR and the RCWL below1 EUR per piece.
I've installed two of the C versions a few weeks ago and I love them. I've 10 more on it's way. I can't find the radar tool on my playstore. How can I download it?
It appears that the LD2410B doesn't play well with fans, even if the fan is outside the documented 60˚ cone of detection. I have an LD2410B on the ceiling, with fan blades as close as 0.8m away and at the same height. The sensor shows a moving target peaking at about 4m away (that would be the same distance as a bounce back off the tile floor, though I have no idea if this is related), and a strong static target across the full range of 1.5m to 6m. This makes it impossible to filter out the fan. I guess then I won't be using any of these, since we have ceiling fans in every room of the house (we're in the tropics). I imagine the fans would light up any curtains too, or what about wind on curtains?
ommunity please help, i have momentary rocker switches, with every push they pass thru 24v to an relay. (push on push off). I can't find any solution to make this work with zigbee. crucial I remain the original switches and the control via HomeAssistant. help thanks!
This process works BUT a big problem that this sensor has with HA is that it gets disconnected with bluetooth. It is very unstable and requires a full reboot of HA before it connect again. To fix this, you can connect the pins from the LD2410 to the esp32 board. Then you are not counting on the unstable bluetooth of the LD2410 but the bluetooth of the esp32 board. The rest of the process with HA is pretty much as describe in this video. Another plus of connecting the two board together is that you will be using the USB power of the esp32 board to power both boards
Hi Kirill, thank you! I have considerable space here. What do you think about using Esp8266 instead of the bluetooth connection or is it better to create an Esp with Bluetooth proxy?
@@KPeyanski For a month now, I have been using the LD1125H sensor combined with a ESP32 & its been working flawlessly when integrated with HA, never faced disconnection issues, response time is excellent and you can tweak the sensor according to your needs (like distance, sensitivity, clearance time). havent tried the LD2410 sensor & hence cant comment on the differences.
Hi Kirill, Have you used also the generic (non-Bluetooth) LD2410 connecting it to an ESP chip? If so, would you be interested in posting a video on that?
@@KPeyanski 2nd this. I have one up and running but I'm having issues getting multiple set up in a large garage in an array. Also, an ESP01 would be perfect for this, but I can't get it to boot with the sensor connected.
Hello, I connected two of these smaller sensors simply through Binary sensor in EspHome. What I noticed is they are very HOT, I can hardly hold the sensor with bare fingers and I am afraid something will burn... Has anyone else noticed high operating temperature of the sensors?
Hey Kiril. My english is Not so good- so I just want to say: Good Job! I can‘t find theese wires between USB cable and this module. Do you have a link here to Ali? Thanks a lot!
I have 4 of these sensors. When they work, they work fine. All of them are very close to either my HA system or a bluetooth proxy. However, all of them may randomly get stuck in either Detected or Not Detected states, and only a reload of the sensor and sometimes a full HA restart solves the problem. Having them so close to a bluetooth proxy (30-40 cm), I don't think connectivity is the problem.
@@MihaiKrieger I think when the device gets disconnected, HA retains the last known value (detected/clear), rather than being set to unavailable. This is a problem, if true. We need a way to tell if the value is valid.
Hi, is it on the play store that you download the apk? I had the application and I deleted it to update it and I can no longer find it on the playstore. Do you have a link maybe? THANKS
Check the link to the Android app in my written article. LD2410C have BT for sure I ordered my sensor from the same seller and it is working fine so it should be safe to buy!
@@KPeyanski yes, thankyou. It worked later. The app wanted location access and have 2 options, accurate and approximate. I selected approximate and it was not working. Later, i tried precise and it started working. I also tried with a esp32 esphome proxy Bluetooth and it's working well.
@@KPeyanski its high GHZ freqs pulsing towards the body ... I wouldn't even recommend using 2.4ghz wifi based on the research... if you do turn it off at night when you are sleeping .. most common cancer in children is blood cancer... how does a microwave cook food at 2.4ghz? it effects the water molecules in the food... the research shows blood cancers can be caused by this lower freq. cant imagine what 24ghz does.
"It is high time that exposure to power frequency EMFs is recognized as a potential risk factor for childhood leukemia and is properly included in the protocols of cluster studies and in epidemiologic studies of other risk factors as a potential confounder." www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1940086/
SMH. Educate yourself a little more please before posting nonsense on the internet. Hint: Look into power level. Radiation is not dangerous in and of itself. It’s the level or power of the radiation that determines how bad it is. Just like everything, sugar is good in small doses but a large dose will kill you. Should we stop using sugar? Do you go in the sun at all? That has much more radiation power than the 2.4ghz that you are worried about. Do you want to turn off the sun or wrap yourself in tinfoil?
