It is aimed at smarter automation than traditional PIR sensors, which can miss occupants who are sitting still, reading, sleeping or working.It connects over a standard UART interface for use with ESP32 controllers and Home Assistant projects. The module is compatible with ESPHome, with a verified YAML configuration provided so it can expose Occupancy, Distance and Energy entities after flashing.The C4002 also supports software-configurable detection distance, helping you tune coverage to a room, sofa, desk or other functional area while reducing unwanted detection through thin walls or into neighbouring spaces. Adaptive background noise learning helps filter common radar false triggers such as swaying plants or moving curtains.Included in the package is one Fermion C4002 mmWave Human Presence Sensor and one 5-pin header.Features:24GHz FMCW technology: Detects micro-motions such as breathing and chest expansion.Moving, stationary and micro-moving targets: Distinguishes targets within a 10×10 metre range.Hardware Ready: Standard UART interface connects easily to ESP32 controllers.Software Ready: Fully compatible with ESPHome (Home Assistant).Verified YAML configuration: Provided for immediate deployment.Instant Entities: Automatically exposes "Occupancy," "Distance," and "Energy" entities in Home Assistant upon flashing.True Static Presence Detection: Capable of detecting individuals who are sitting, sleeping, or standing completely still.Motion Detection: Up to 11m (Walking / Running).Static Detection: Up to 10m (Reading / Typing / Sleeping).Targeted Monitoring: Configure the sensor to cover only specific functional areas while strictly ignoring movement in adjacent backgrounds.Wall Penetration Management: Set a maximum distance threshold to help prevent detecting activity in neighbouring rooms.Adaptability: Suitable for diverse spaces, ranging from small bathrooms to large open-plan living rooms.Intelligent Environmental Filtering: Adaptive background noise learning filters non-human interference.Smart Lighting Automation: Maintains lighting based on true presence rather than large movements.HVAC Energy Management: Activates air conditioning or heating only when the room is actually occupied.Privacy-Friendly Elderly Care: Detects presence or prolonged inactivity without cameras or wearable devices.Concealed Security: Detects intrusion through thin non-metal obstacles such as decorations or thin walls.Specifications:Operating Voltage: 3.6 ~ 5.5VDetection Capability: Motion, Micro-Motion / Stationary Human BodyMax Detection Distance: Motion 11m, Micro-Motion / Stationary 10mDetection Angle: 120° x 120°Output Interface: OUT (Configurable IO), UARTOperating Frequency: 24GHz ~ 24.25GHzLight Detection: 0 ~ 50 luxOperating Temperature: -20 ~ 85 ˚CProduct Dimensions: 22mm x 26mmUseful for Home Assistant presence sensing, smart lighting, HVAC control, privacy-friendly monitoring and concealed security projects. ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDR0sBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--24e97f399c5b232311cc71d85fccb9a04b6a29b0/SEN0691_Main_01_260205.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDUksBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--213e5bd8dc6f8d37232783a5ce8951554a5d41f2/SEN0691_Dim_02.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDXUsBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--4b22dd2e44fccb883b0622f5dd73fb2481ac22ca/SEN0691_Back_03.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDZUsBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--0f2ad7f992285a7b742ceaf8b57ca955504aba76/SEN0691_Detail_04.jpg) - [Image 5](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDbUsBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--b4b5de608ba032e814d1f34dfc6cd03801369455/SEN0691_ShipList_06.jpg) --- ## Finding & Searching Products If a part listed here isn't quite what you need, you can search Little Bird Electronics' full catalogue: - **Search by keyword:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={search_term}` — searches title, vendor, SKU, tags, and MPN - **Search via JSON:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.json?q={search_term}` — structured JSON results - **Browse by collection:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/{handle}.json` — products in a specific collection - **Filter in-stock only:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={term}&in_stock=1` - **Individual product detail:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/{handle}.md` — full specs, pricing, stock levels, variants Search supports multi-word queries (AND logic).
