Just read about this and was wondering if anyone has tried it. Pros/cons/notes? This seems pretty neat on the surface and I plan on trying it myself.

Yes, yes And YES!!

This is really great. Grab some boards with an external antenna, I guess the S3 variants are the best.

This guy is really active and thorough.

Home Assistant integration is a wip, right now the cyd is a topic.

Star, follow and try it!

    All I get after following the documentation, is a compiler error:

    CMake Error at /data/external_components/fd3660ad/src/cpp/espectre_git_version.cmake:62 (message):  
      Unable to resolve ESPectre version from git describe, and the SDK header is  
      not stamped.  Fetch numeric tags (`git fetch --tags`), pass  
      -DESPECTRE_GIT_VERSION=..., or set ESPECTRE_GIT_VERSION in the environment.  
      fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.

    ERROR Component discovery failed  
    

    Edit: Managed to work around it. Now it actually detects movement! Just be aware this project looks like it's cooked up with a lot of AI assistance. There's a million pages of documentation, mostly convoluted and repetitive while telling slightly different things to do... And a compiler error is never a good first impression... It seems to work, though!

    Now I have to find a few spare ESPs, which aren't already doing BLE or something, and see what kind of strain it puts on my wifi network.
