        Thank you for this awesome solution! I just got mine up and running with MMM-PIR-Sensor. I was wondering if any of you have got this microwave sensor to also work with MMM-NearCompliments? I was thinking since it was also inspired by PIR sensor, I could get it to work, but no luck yet.

          hello,
          i tried this with the microwave sensor, but im out of ideas. i get wrong positives every minute. (i check every 5 sec).
          i added also the ferrite, tried another raspberry, different of these sensors (bought a 5 pack) and placed it in a different room. anyone got any ideas what else i could try?
          or maybe similar microwave sensors i could try?

          any help would be great, tyvm

            Did you try and limit the range as described in beginning of this thread? For me option 2 helped to limit oversensitivity.

              the range is not the problem. i get positives when nothing is moving near it

                @Lipax this sensor is very sensitive and catches any movement 360 around from several meters away. I had same problem… If you don’t dial down the sensitivity-range you will keep getting false positives.

                  @Lipax try dialing down the sensitivity, it’s probably picking up dust or something small you can’t see.

                    thanks for the help, but i doubt its some kind of movement since its exactly every minute. i tried a different room and its the same.

                        Can you share your python code? Perhaps there’s something there
