Pretty easy. I wrote a little library for mmwave radar sensors which you can get on a little does-everything board for, like, $4. Connect that to anything which runs CircuitPython and there you go.

I think we were talking washing machines.

Although it's billed as a human presence detector, the radar will sense the laundry spinning. The one I have in our kitchen detects the dishwasher running (which was not my original intention!)

Got around to downloading the data sheet. Wouldn't have imagined the sensitivity you report from it. I'll file this away for future use, thank you.

It is super, super sensitive. It detects humans by the movements from heartbeats and breathing.

Yeah, I see the phrase "vital sensing" here and there. Opens up new privacy risks.

Yeah, 60ghz versions can tell individual respiration and heartbeat, and because it's radar, can be concealed easily.
But the laundry probably won't care.
