| Not named | Works | Wireless battery mmWave sensor; rated 4/5 and 3.5/5; detects through glass showerSaved copyI’ve tried 4 different Presence sensors with HA, and here’s how I rate them. I spent years in a Hue Motion sensor apartment for years, but finally dabbled in Presence Sensors these last six months as we moved into our forever home, as well as moving to Home Assistant. Given the price tags and availabilities I ended up trying out 4 different brands of sensors: * Lafaer * SwitchBot Presence * Aqara FP300 * Everything Presence Pro (EP Pro) TLDR: Aqara for most people, EP Pro for people who wants the ultimate control within HA. # Lafaer (LWR01) (Rating: 4/5) … Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit thread · 2026-01 | |
| Thread | Works Local | Battery mmWave sensor in bathrooms, great; user praisedSaved copyThis is SOLID advice right here. For mmWave I would suggest battery operated sensors in bathrooms. I have the Lafaer lwr-01 and they have been great but they are Thread and that may not be your thing, I just have a lot of HomePod minis. Still I have it on good authority the lwr-02 is going to be much better, and incorporates a PIR sensor, temperature and humidity sensors as well.
