Presence doppler sensor: RCWL-0516 #93

Closed vincegre closed 6 years ago

vincegre commented 6 years ago

Would be nice to get support for that sensor, very useful for presence detection and lot more efficient than PIR ;) https://www.14core.com/wiring-the-rcwl0516-auto-induction-doppler-microwave-radar-with-esp826632arduino/ It can be handle as a simple input switch but some anti-rebounce settings would be nice for it !

Some basic debounce settings are already supported by the binary sensor filters: https://esphomelib.com/esphomeyaml/components/binary_sensor/index.html#binary-sensor-filters

I use this as a gpio binary_sensor the same way as a PIR sensor. I've actually use it combined with a PIR sensor and only turn on the lights when both sensors are "on". Tips: Don't place it to close to the esp board to avoid false positives.

Closing as it's a simple binary sensor. I have ordered one for myself and wjll uodate the docs with specific instructions once it arrives.
