If you honestly think that the exploding pagers where just standard pagers, and somehow made to explode by hacking them, your grasp of physics and technology could do with some improvement.

The pagers where packed with a small amount of explosive and remote detonation system and then fed into the Hamas group through a supply chain attack.

I mean I can share pics, but it's a fairly run of the mill Victorian terrace. 11 foot ceilings and a picture rail in the lounge which is nice. A few of the original features remain. Compared to a lot of the houses in the Georgian market town I live in, mine is positively new.

All of my wall sockets include usb power outlets, so they're all powered via those, I'm currently working on using an 18650 or 2 to power one as an experiment, but as they're WiFi and need to react in a timely manner putting the microcontroller into sleep mode isn't really an option, meaning the battery life won't be very good. The RADAR module needs a solid 5v as well so I'm not sure it will be practical.

This is the sensor module: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005921080708.html?spm=a2g0n.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.496af19cSQkowI

This is the microcontroller: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006018009983.html

This is the project on GitHub I use for the HA integration: https://github.com/Chreece/LD2411S-ESPHome

And the case I use is on this project for a very similar setup to mine: https://github.com/igiannakas/mmWave-Presense-Sensor-D1-Mini-DFRobot-/tree/main

I build my own using EspHome. I tend to use a D1 Mini as the microcontroller as it has a small footprint and a LD2411S sensor module (very cheap on AliExpress ) I'm lucky enough to have a 3d printer to make my own enclosures.
