SCREEK 1U mmW Presence (Motion) Detection (ESPHome)

Presence is what keeps my office routine from firing at dumb times, and mmWave is a huge part of that. The SCREEK 1U presence sensor (ESPHome) helps me detect occupancy more reliably than simple motion. When the automation only runs when it should, everything feels “smart” instead of annoying.

Pros

+Better occupancy detection than basic PIR motion
+ESPHome-friendly for local, privacy-first setups
+Helps prevent automations from triggering incorrectly

Cons

-Requires setup/tuning like most mmWave sensors
-Placement matters for reliable detection
