P159 LD2410 Radar Presence Sensor

[azonneveld]

To disable a gate, one should enter the maximum value for sensitivity: 100.
But this value is reached when an object is very clear, and therefor the disable is not working.

Please allow the maximum value for a gate to be set to >100, so it will never be reached.
Or f.i. add a disable/enable boolean to each gate

For now I mitigate the issue by using rules, but that's a 'dirty' solution.

Sensitivity, Gate 0 .. 8: For each type of detection, the sensitivity treshold can be set, range 0 .. 100, where 0 is the most sensitive, and 100 means it won’t trigger,

You can Implement a boolean toggle for each gate. That would give you more flexibility.

The max value of 100 is according to the documentation, extracted from the source code and the spec sheet.

What actual values are you getting from your sensor?

Also taken from that mentioned documentation.

These sensors are very sensitive (pun intended), and also respond to reflected signals and similar sensors nearby like car radar distance sensors, and even a micro-wave being used somewhat nearby.
Shielding the device from false triggers can be quite hard, and may even need adjustments over time.

Can you show your current configuration?

I've increased the max. sensitivity setting to 110 in PR #5140, builds available in this Github Actions run.

@azonneveld Can you please test if this increased threshold is a) working as intended, and b) is enough to suppress the undesired triggers you've experienced?

@azonneveld Have you been able to test with the extended threshold? And if so, is this enough to avoid the issue?
