I have had a goal to incorporate presence detection into my Homeassistant setup for a while but while PIR sensors are cheap and plentiful they also leave a lot to be desired having T-Rex like vision.

I stumbled upon MMWave which has become more popular recently and decided I wanted to build my own sensor, but not wanting it to do 1 single thing I wanted to combine 2 Physical sensors for 3 primary functions.

The Sensors I decided to use were:

LD2410b - MMWave Sensor (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005087204432.html)

BH1750 - Ambient Light Sensor (https://www.aliexpress.com/p/order/index.html)

The board I went with was a USB-C based ESP32 (https://www.aliexpress.com/p/order/index.html) as I also wanted to set the sensor up as a bluetooth proxy to do bluetooth device tracking from room to room as well.

I didn't see any enclosures around that would fit these together so decided to design my own, this is the 3rd iteration of it and snaps together nicely, everything is friction fit but I also use a dab of hot glue to hold the sensors in place with the exception of the BH1750 which I am just using a little blu-tac so that It can be removed if needed as the case is pretty compact.

I have made a guide over on Git-Hub including the YAML I used in ESPHome if you want to make them yourself :)
