Is there a go-to recommendation for a very responsive zigbee motion sensor for home assistant for doing hallway lighting and similar stuff?

What are some more specific use cases? Aqara FP2 mmwave is something I've seen for actual motion.
Expensive and wired, but will work for some stuff.

Its for doing automatic hallway lights, so the mmwave may be overkill.

Zigbee, responsive, inexpensive ($20-40 would be fine) preferably.

Sounds good. Amazon's page says out of stock. I'll track a couple down anyway.

The only ESP stuff I have are a pair of garage door opener connectors and they seem to work fine. But they're basically a single contact sensor and a relay so they're pretty simple.

Can you use those for local (not-web-connected) voice control?

I bought an additional door opener remote and soldered a Shelly across the button contacts on the remote's board, and put a hall effect sensor on the door to detect open/close state. Works far better than MyQ ever did.
I've got a couple of these, works great for me with home assistant. https://www.athom.tech/blank-1/garage-door-opener-for-esphome

I can open or close the doors from wherever, and I have lights in the garage set to turn on for 10 minutes whenever the door sensors are tripped. Works great. I have sensors for the human doors too but the trim is in such bad shape there's no good way to mount them. Next house I guess.
