The LD2410 (B) is another option and it operates over UART. It is a bit more expensive ~$5 but has more configuration options.

Get the B variant, you can configure it over Bluetooth from your phone. Otherwise it's a huge hassle.

That said, it doesn't work very well for me when sitting still 4-5m away, it thinks I've left.

  • These radars are designed to detect motion, not someone sitting still.

    • Wrong, most of these radars are 24Ghz and specifically designed to detect body micro movements. They specifically give both human 'occupancy' and dynamic ranging information.

      I wrote low level drivers for the ESP32 for all the ones I could buy and have tested all of them. The only one that does not try to give a human occupancy position is the car speed sensor.

      The ld2450 can track three people at once.
