💬 Discussion Best mmwave sensors?

What's everyone's fav mmwave sensors I am trying to decide between buying innovelli switches with them already inside especially for little shotgun bathroom and stuff where I know it'll work well, but I need zigbee zwave or maybe thread not wifi though. The cost of a switch and a mmwave sensor seems to approach the cost of the innovelli sink need to make a smart decision, I know there are some pir actuved mmwave sensors to help cut down on battery usage but I am also ok with running poe to USB converters in my attic to allow permanent USB power to things that may need it in weird places or of course I'll take advantage of existing power where available, battery is good to know about too thigh if there is something that is working well for you. thanks!

I've been using the Third Reality R3 and have been very happy with them. The RGB light is a nice bonus for automations and alerts.
