The LD2412 is a compact and sensitive 24GHz FMCW mmWave radar module for reliable presence detection. You can use this module as a replacement for your existing LD2412 in the CeilSense, UltimateSensor v2 or UltimateSensor Mini v2, but also as a standalone unit for your own ESPHome, ESP32, or other IoT projects.
The module detects not only movement, but also stationary or micro-moving persons. This makes it ideal for applications such as room presence detection, smart lighting, Home Assistant automations, and compact radar projects.
