Best Presence Sensors for Smart Home in 2026
A Smarter House just covered the state of mmWave presence sensors in 2026, and it is wild how much these devices have changed now that they work across every major smart home platform. The video breaks down how these sensors actually detect breathing patterns to keep your lights on, featuring a variety of hardware from the battery-powered Meross MS605 and the Aqara FP300 to more complex gear like the Aqara M3 Hub and the W200 Thermostat with its built-in radar. There is an interesting range of options here, from simple 2.4GHz Wi-Fi sensors to Thread-compatible models, along with supporting gear like the SwitchBot Hub 2. It is a straightforward look at which tech fits your specific setup and why the underlying chips actually matter.
