How It Could Work
Pair an ESP32-C6 (Matter capable) with a warm WS2812 or SK6812 ring and a 24 GHz mmWave presence module (e.g. LD2410). Expose a Matter light endpoint and an occupancy sensor. On presence, fade up to a configurable brightness; on clear, fade out after a timeout. USB-C powered only – keep mains out of the enclosure.
