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.

You can buy them on Aliexpress for $5. YouTube and a cursory google search will give you many many options to choose from for examples and tutorials.

don't get the $5 ones, they are probably just presence detector or at best distance detector and probably work on 24Ghz. Get the 60Ghz for breathing, heart rate, posture etc.
