This Might Be the Best Smart Presence Sensor Yet…
Today we’re checking out the Lafaer LWR01 — a wireless mmWave presence sensor with ultra-precise motion detection packed into a compact, Matter-compatible design. It’s battery-powered, Thread-enabled, and designed to detect real presence—not just motion—so your automations can finally behave the way you want.
Whether you're trying to keep lights from turning off while you're sitting still, or you're building advanced room-based automations, this might just be the smartest sensor for the job.
