Zone Configuration Using Home Assistant¶
1.Install HACS
2. Install Plotly and Decluttering Card inside HACS.
You can break things at this point!
Now you are able to break things if you do not follow along exactly as shown in the tutorial.
3. Click edit dashboard in the top right then click the 3 dots menu then choose "Raw configuration editor".
4. Make sure to scroll to the very bottom and start a new line all the way to the left as shown in the image below. Make sure to save and exit in the top right when finished.
5. Copy the code below and paste it on the new line from step 4.

6. Copy the code below to use in the next step. Please change the "name" in the code below to the name of your MTR-1 sensor. If you are unsure what name to use here, please head to the ESPHome Integrations page and navigate to your device then find the full device name. Unless you renamed it, your device will likely be called "apollo_mtr_1_" with 6 random numbers/letters after the final underscore as shown in the example image below.
template: apollo_mtr_1
type: custom:decluttering-card
variables:
- name: apollo_mtr_1_c64a28
7. Click edit dashboard in the top right then choose ADD CARD in the bottom right. Type in "Manual" then select Manual.
8. Paste in the code you copied from step 6 and you should now see this:
9. Head to the ESPHome Integrations page
10. Click device as shown in the image below
11. Scroll down until you get to the Configuration section and you see the empty boxes for zones 1-3 for both X and Y coordinates.
Suggested settings
- Multi Target Tracking toggled on helps it detect up to three targets better.
- Zone Type allows you to select Disabled, Detection, or Filter.
- Disabled: Disable zone area detection.
- Detection: Only detects targets in the specified zone.
- Filter: Excludes a zone from detection.
12. Now we can input our Zone 1-3 X and Y values to make our zones. Using the visual card from above, we can walk, sit, or stand in the area where we want to create a detection or non-detection zone. Input values for X are -7000 mm to 7000 mm, and the Y values are 0 mm to 7000 mm.
13. If you use the imperial system (Freedom Units) then you will need to do this step. Metric users can skip this. For the targets to show up correctly we first need to update the Target 1-3 X and Y measurements from inches (in) to millimeters (mm). Find Target 1-3 X and Y under the Sensors section and select them. You will want to update all 3 targets X and Y values.
14. Select the Settings cog in the top right.
15. Change the unit of measurement to mm and select Update.
16. Your X and Y Targets will now look like this.
17. Now you should see targets on the card.
18. Now we can make zones around the targets where you want to Detect presence or filter them out
Tip for zone configuration resetting
If your zone configurations are not saved when restarting the device then try turning on the LD2450 Bluetooth for a few seconds and then turning it off again. You can also try to toggle on Multi Target Radar. This should wake up the mmWave module and retrieve your saved zones
