Would have loved a cheap human presence sensor instead of a motion sensor!

This might be what you're looking for. It's wifi (I think it's Matter), but works without an internet connection.

Pretty sure it’s not matter.

Source: own it and the website doesn’t say matter. Also an engineer working on matter products.

> With its advanced hardware, the FP2 is able to support much more cutting-edge features such as sleep monitoring, people counting, posture detection (lying down, sitting, standing, walking) and Matter support for enhanced functionality

It’s matter support with a hub. They promise matter support with an OTA. Notably none of their marketing copy or the box says matter support.

> Support of the new smart home standard, Matter, is also planned for the FP2, and will be added to the device via a subsequent OTA update

That's not really cheap though.

yeah, I see tons of models on aliexpress but the software support isn't there yet. an IKEA version would be great.

zigbee2mqtt support a lot of these. I have both 5.8 GHz and 24 GHz ones. I guess 60 GHz will be next.
