Has anyone had any experience integrating mmWave human detection into products, and is there any scary stuff I should know re EMC / RED testing?

I expect this will fall into the "intentional radiator" category, and thus require some radio testing, but are they generally well behaved or a nightmare to work with?

I've found a 24 GHz bare-board option from Waveshare which is comparable in cost to the PIR sensor it would be replacing...

The company #RainBird can pound sand! If you update your mobile app to their v2.0 it will reflash your rainbird wifi module and not allow local access, forcing you to use their cloud-based BS. I'm done with them. Going the open-source route here and using the drop-in replacement opensprinkler.com/ . Works out of the box with Home Assistant too.

I'd like to do something like this but for my bedroom, which is only one room in the house. An energy monitor like Emporia Vue would have to get installed on the house's electrical panel, which would require an electrician. I don't want that. I just want something for my bedroom.

Is there something that I could use that would plug into my bedroom's power outlets and monitor energy that way? Something that could replace the Emporia Vue Energy Monitor in this setup?
