Adding room presence detection to Home Assistant not only improves automated lighting, but it allows you to send announcements to the correct room speaker, trigger personalised automation rules in rooms, etc.
I've just put Tuya zigbee mm wave human presence sensors in every room (except bathrooms as no mains power, 6 installed and 8 more about to be delivered). last batch cost me £18 each from AliExpress. cheap, reliable, accurate, act as routers and have built in lux sensors so ideal for lighting automations.

That edit at the beginning got me! Good video
I couldn't resist putting that in

Yeah I've been thinking about it, but they can't tell you who is in the room, so for now I'm sticking with this
