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!

I already have this set up and it works well. Sometimes I turn the TV off and stay in the room on my laptop for a while, and the lights turn off. It's easy enough to turn them back on but I'm wondering if mmWave could help.
