We're excited to introduce the Apollo MSR-2 sensor, an updated version of our popular MSR-1, developed with your feedback. The MSR-2 builds on the foundation of the MSR-1, incorporating several incremental upgrades to enhance performance and usability.

What's New?

Compact Design: The MSR-2 has a smaller form factor, making it easier to integrate into your projects and living spaces without sacrificing functionality.
Additional Expansion Slot: We've added a back expansion slot, allowing new accessories like a rear-facing female USB port for clean installations.
Updated Sensors: We've upgraded to the DPS310 for improved pressure and temperature accuracy. The base MSR-2 includes only pressure and temperature readings from the DPS310. However, humidity sensing can still be added through the optional CO2 sensor module.

For MSR-1 Users: The MSR-2 is an incremental update designed with your feedback in mind, rather than a major upgrade. Both sensors will continue to be supported, with updates provided as part of our commitment to all users.

CO2:

Base With CO2

Product variants:

Use the mmWave to instantly detect when someone walks into the room and turn on the lights. Since mmWave is so good at still detection (detecting you sitting very still), you can also keep the lights on while you are in the room.

The mmWave can also be placed under your bed to determine if someone is in the bed or not. This can make for great morning or alarm automations.

The RGB led is great for notifications. Trash night? Turn the LED green. Mail in the mailbox? Turn the LED blue.

The piezo buzzer is great for notifications you don't want to miss (also good for party tricks playing songs). Has your CO2 level risen to very high levels? Beep the sensor to let you know to open a window. Did your front door just open? Beep once as a notification.Use the UV sensor to let you know how much sun is coming through the window. Or use the LUX sensor to only turn on the lights if it is dark in the room.

The optional CO2 sensor is very eye opening. Many people do not know the air in their office or bedroom reaches CO2 levels that have an affect on you. From poor sleep at night, drowsyness in the office, and brain fog can all be caused by high CO2. This sensor will let you know if your levels are getting too high and you need to turn on the air circulation or open a window.

Product Details

mmWave Radar Sensor (HLK-ld2410b)

1 Target tracking
Very good still detection
Very good tuning capability
Ability to tune out false positives

LUX and UV Sensor (LTR-390UV)

Temperature / Pressure Sensor (DPS310)

Provides accurate readings of temperature, and pressure. The pressure enhances the readings from the CO2 sensor. Note: The ESP32-C3 in constant WiFi connection generates significant heat; you might need to adjust the offset based on your setup and the temperature/humidity won't be as good as a dedicated sensor with less heat build up.

C02 Sensor (Optional SCD-40)

True CO2 sensing

Bluetooth Tracker(ESP32-C3-Mini) - YAML Config Required

Track Bluetooth devices in your house, letting you know which devices are closest to the sensor. You will need to know the MAC of the Bluetooth devices you want to track.

Find your phone if you left it in the office or the bedroom.
Know who just walked into the room.
Track a beacon attached to your dog's collar.

I had been recommended to look into the MSR-2 for a while but the price was pushing me off so I tried other options but it was never a all in one solution. I decided to get one see how it goes.
First, setup was as easy as can be really less than 3min from cutting the tape on the box to functional and connected. So, 5 stare there.
2nd, the amount of information that this little sensor gives is just phenomenal, I have had it for 1 month and I'm still discovering new things and new ways to use the MSR-2. So 5 stars there.
3rd, for me every house automation has to pass one very important and difficult test, "Wife approval" .. I would say that was tricky, is it useful and allowing to make our life easier ? Yes, check. Does look good and would I put it in my living room ? No, not really.. but could I be smart and engineer my way out of hiding it or concealing it ? Absolutely. So that's my only "complaints", it will require work to make it invisible but I put this between apostrophes because, if you buy other sensors to have the same capabilities.. you'll have to hide 3/4 sensors here it's one so less work for me, more chance to pass the test. That's a win for me, I'll be ordering more of those as I improve my home assistant.

great little device!

I use the MSR-2 mmWave Multisensor to keep my undercabinet lights on while I work in my garage. Great to have the lights come on (and stay on) as soon as I walk in the area. Previously I used a motion sensor but that turn the lights off and on when ever anything moved in the area. Love this little sensor!
