The :ref:`UART <uart>` is required to be set up in your configuration for this sensor to work.
Use of hardware UART pins is highly recommended, in order to support the out-of-the-box 256000 baud rate of the LD2410 sensor.

..note::
For UART configuration, ``baud_rate``, ``parity`` and ``stop_bits``**must be** respectively ``256000``, ``NONE`` and ``1``.
Use of hardware UART pins is highly recommended, in order to support the out-of-the-box 256000 baud rate of the LD2410 sensor.
Configuration variables:
************************
The configuration is made up of three parts: The central component, individual sensors,
and binary sensors.
-**timeout** (*Optional*, int): Time in seconds during which presence state will stay present
after leaving. Defaults to ``5s``.
-**max_move_distance** (*Optional*, int): Maximum distance for movement detection.
Value between ``0.75m`` and ``6m`` inclusive. Defaults to ``4.5m``.
-**max_still_distance** (*Optional*, int): Maximum distance for still detection.
Value between ``0.75m`` and ``6m`` inclusive. Defaults to ``4.5m``.
-**gX_move_threshold** (*Optional*, int): Threshold for the Xth gate for motion detection (X => 0 to 8).
Above this level for the considered gate (distance), movement detection will be triggered. Defaults to ``see table below``.
