Haven't watched the video but the description states you need a smart watch to accomplish this? Seems like it'd be handy under certain use cases (you live alone and always have your watch on you) but sadly wouldn't work great with a family.

I've wanted to tackle presence detection for a while, but it seems the only feasible, universal way of doing it is with a mix of PIR and mmWave sensors. Unfortunately the cost of these sensors are still pretty high currently.
