Constant false positive

[ckegels]

Lite module:
i am getting body movement readings even when nobody is present (presence alwayson)
i am using an esp8266 and for rx and tx i am using the hardware rx tx of the 8266 with log baud to 0
any ideas?

what might be intereseting is the following: when moving around the sensor the value of body movement drops between 0 and 12 and when no movement it jumps up to 100 than back down to 50

Do you have any kind of material in front of the sensor? that was my issue the other night. I had a 2 mm thick plastic cover in front of it and removing that cover helped with my issue. I then printed a new cover that was only .5 mm thick and i haven't had a problem since

additionally, what do you have your parity set to? I had to manually set mine to NONE like so

uart:
  id: uart_bus
  baud_rate:  115200
  rx_pin: GPIO16
  tx_pin: GPIO17
  parity: NONE
