Looking for a Zigbee waterproof or at least steam proof motion sensor for use in my shower. My bathroom lights turn on/off just fine but if I am in the shower, they turn off sometimes leaving me in the dark. I found the Renogy Motion Sensor online and am wondering if anyone has used these Zigbee devices successfully.

Oh this is interesting. Doing some research on this now. Looks like a lot of these are USB-C powered and that won't work for my application. Will look for one that is battery powered and especially IP65.

if any of the walls of your bathroom are drywall/plasterboard you can mount it on the outside and see through the wall without exposing the sensor to the environment in the bathroom
might also be nicer for powering it, as you are unlikely to find a decent sensor with mmwave that runs on battery

I had never heard of mmwave until this thread, its pretty incredible. Given how my smart home it setup, I won't have too many opporuntities for USB powered sensors so I'll have to figure something out.
