I do it using MMWave sensor, 60Ghz one. Want to have more of them but installation is a pain as these need to be mounted on ceiling so WiFi based sensor would be awesome!

Do you have a writeup about this somewhere? I'd love to know more.

Unfortunately no. But fortunately, it isn't something new I have built. I use a Seed Studio sensor MR60BHA2 which has an ESP32 which sends the data to Home Assistant through ESPHome. Once it is in Home Assistant you can do automations and notifications. I mostly use it for elderly care. I have another DFRobot C1001 sensor but waiting for ESPHome to add support for it. It has fall detection also which is why I am planning to replace it. They are fairly accurate; ~90%; has been my experience. They work better when mounted on ceiling and have a cone like coverage.
