Sounds like a use case for touchscreen wall controllers like Shelly ones. Controlling things in your house by unlocking your phone, opening the app, finding the right dashboard, pressing buttons is a poor user experience compared with operating a switch on the wall.

I’ve got two of the Screek 2A sensors and think they’re good. Mmwave technology isn’t a magic bullet that automatically works every time, like all radio tech there are some limitations.
I use one to turn on a light in a hallway and the other to detect when someone approaches the front door and issue an alert via ntfy.sh. Once in a while it misses some motion, so I’d probably not recommend it if you were building a human life kind of scenario, but they’re fine for me.
More importantly, they’re well supported by HA/ESPHome, open source, inexpensive and compact.

thr0w4w4y2@sh.itjust.worksto homeassistant@lemmy.world•Sensor for furnace air filter replacementEnglish0·1 month agohow do you typically notice the filter needs to be changed now? does it:
- draw more power than usual? wattage sensor
- give some alert like a “change filter” light? esp32
- need changing after a certain time/usage amount? power consumption sensor
- need changing every X days? you might just need a calendar alert
of course the mega nerd approach would be to put a particulate sensor in the duct like a PMS7003 that measures PM10 particles like dust, strap on an esp32 and set some alerts using your favourite monitoring tool.
its my second throwaway. I threw away the first one.

If it has to be a commercial product, you can buy the shelly addon and attach it to any of their Z-wave 1pm products like this one for example.
The addon supports up to four temperature probes and the cables can be many metres long.
