Screek presence sensor (sub.wetshaving.social)

I'm using a run of the mill motion sensor in the living room that turns the lights off after a certain duration of no motion (unless the TV is on). Sometimes the lights turn off when I'm still in the room because I'm stationary.

I know people seem to like the mmWave sensors for this and I'm considering getting a Screek 2A from eBay.

I'm curious if anyone here has used one. Thanks!

You watch TV with the lights on‽ What kind of a monster are you??

Soft white (2700K), ~800 lumen bulbs. It's pretty cozy with the lights on. Not harsh at all.
