Collection of header files and esphome yaml configs to integrate some Seeed Studio mmWave sensors into Home Assistant.
Currently the following sensors are partially implemented
- Seeed Studio
MR24HPB1- 24 GHz Human Stationary SensorMR24HPC1- 24 GHz Human Static Presence LiteMR60BHA1- 60 GHz Respiratory Heartbeat Sensor
- Implement missing SeeedStudio Sensors (MR24BSD1 & MR60FDA1)
- Make documentation cleaner and enhance with screenshots and plots
- Implement sensors as proper external components
- Are there proper docs on how the config validation/generation part of esphome works?
If you don't bother or use all the supported sensors just copy the header and packages directories into your Home Assistant config/esphome directory.
Otherwise these are the files needed for each sensor:
MR24HPB1- Headers
- headers/mr24hpb1.h
- headers/mr24hpb1_frame.h
- Config
- packages/mr24d.yaml
- Headers
MR24HPC1- Headers
- headers/mr24hpc1.h
- headers/mrx_frame.h
- Config
- packages/mr24hpc1.yaml
- Headers
MR60BHA1- Headers
- headers/mr60bha1.h
- headers/mrx_frame.h
- Config
- packages/mr60bha1.yaml
- Headers
You can change the name of the headers directory in home assistant if it doesn't apply to your naming scheme. You can adjust the file locations via substitutions.
substitutions:
header_frame: headers/mrx_frame.h
header_sensor: headers/mr24hpc1.h
The template assumes the use of a ESP32. I specifically used the AZDelivery ESP32 Devkit C, but any other ESP32 and ESP8266 should work I guess. But I have not tested this.
The template assumes the following wiring:
| MCU | mmWave Sensor |
|---|---|
| 5V | 5V |
| GND | GND |
| GPIO16 (UART RX) | TX |
| GPIO17 (UART TX) | RX |
The uart pins can be changed in the ESPHome yaml via substitutions
substitutions:
uart_rx_pin: "16"
uart_tx_pin: "17"
Take a look at the yaml files in the examples directory, these should give you a basic understanding of what to do when you create a new device in ESPHome.
Basically the section substitutions and packages are relevant. When you create a new device the other user relevant section will be generated by ESPHome, the before mentions sections need to be added from the provided example yaml files.
The MR24HPC1 and MR60BHA1 sensor also support multiple inputs to reset, change operation modes and query specific sensor states.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| presence | x | x | x | binary (detected/clear) |
| motion | x | x | x | binary (detected/clear) |
| body movement | x | x | x | measurement (0: unoccupied, 1: static presence, 2-100: activity level) |
| proximity | x | x | measurement (<0: approaching, 0 none or stationary, >0 moving away) | |
| distance | x | measurement (distance to object in cm) | ||
| x, y, z angle | x | measurements (relative position of object to sensor) | ||
| heartrate | x | measurement | ||
| breathing rate | x | measurement | ||
| breathing info | x | measurement (1: normal, 2: fast, 3: slow, 4: none) | ||
| radar out of bounds | x | measurement (0: out of range, 1: within range) |
Since C++ is not my strongest of languages and this is my first implementation which is interacting with ESPHome, Home Assistant and the uart protocol in general, there are probably a lot of things that can be done easier or cleaner.
