Dan Tentler of Phobos Group demonstrates a fully portable security system using Home Assistant, Z-Wave devices, CO2 sensors, and millimeter-wave radar to detect human presence through walls and automate alerts. The LABScon 2025 presentation by SentinelLabs shows how this rapidly deployable platform can capture images, trigger actions, and provide situational awareness in hotel rooms and other temporary accommodations #HomeAssistant #PhobosGroup
Keypoints
- Dan Tentler showcases a portable tactical security system built on Home Assistant integrated with consumer sensors and devices.
- Millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar units can detect movement and presence through walls and adjacent spaces, enhancing detection range.
- CO2 sensors are used to reveal occupancy patterns and complement motion detection for more reliable presence inference.
- Home Assistant serves as the automation framework to tie sensors, alerts, cameras, and actions together for rapid deployment.
- The system can automatically send alerts, capture images, or trigger any action supported by Home Assistant in unfamiliar environments.
- Presented at LABScon 2025 by SentinelLabs, the talk highlights use cases for security professionals, researchers, and travelers concerned with physical security.
