mmWave battery sensors Thirdreality R1, R2 or Aqara FP300

Hi,

Looking to get 2 mmWave sensors to place in the garage.
I like to put them on the door tracks with magnet so when the door is open it could detect people entering.
PIR sometimes don’t work that good in the summer due to heat.

Anyone have the Thirdreality do they have a metal plate on the back for magnetic mounting?

Any experience with them welcome.
Thanks!

Which one would be the gold standard?

Thanks.

Hi,

Household pension income around 10K that includes SSA

Mortgage left - 114K interest 2.12%
Monthly payment 2,000 including $200 extra principal = total 2000
House value approximately 540K

Other expenses rounded up around 2300-2500 month
Stuff like, insurance, water, power, groceries, etc.

Retirement 401 - $175k
Bank Savings - $125k

Other big expense in 3-4 yr from now would be college for the kids.
And maybe a new car or used one.

So just wondering should we pay off the mortgage with the money from the bank?
We would be left with around $11k and then the extra $2k income that was going to the mortgage.
Any advice welcome,

Thanks!

Edit to add interest, and extra principal
