Presence Sensor FP2 Bracket Set, mmWave Radar Wired Motion Sensor, Zone Positioning, Multi-Person & Fall Detection, Supports HomeKit, Alexa, and Home Assistant, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Required

Its a great unit and the installation is not hard at all I like how I can make secondary zones via the GUI in the app. Its accurate overall when working with HA I noticed a few-second delay at times. Installation is easy with the app so its not hard to get working. The value overall is good. It even detects my dog without problems I will say the IOS app is a more of a pain since it by default adds them into the Apple Home software so if you are useing home assistant, you will need to go though the menu to remove them from the apple systems. I had no problems having HA see these devices.

Setting this up with the app for person detection in my living room was straightforward. First experiment was to pipe the sensors into Home Assistant and create an automation that pauses the TV when it detects two people watching and one gets up. This impressed my wife enough that she stopped giving me grief about the weird sensor on the shelf. Unless something has changed since I set it up, it's essentially a requirement to set it up in the proprietary app first, but it then exposes A LOT of sensors to Home Assistant for playing with. I think you can also wire it into HomeKit. The stated 430 sq ft room size seems about right. Our living room is about 21x20, but then is fully open to the kitchen, and detection beyond that //kind of// works, but I wouldn't rely on it for something you expect to work all the time. It's a bit tricky to find a good mounting spot that gives you the best performance without it being somewhere obvious near eye-level. Ceiling mounting seems to only be for Fall Detection. Seems to struggle a bit with more than a couple people in the room for my applications. The cat confuses it.

Easily one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. I’ve already installed two of them and they enable automations that aren’t possible with standard motion sensors. They are compatible with HomeKit and super easy to set up and configure. Because of zones I’ve set up mine to handle multiple automations. They have excellent WiFi connectivity, people with issues should consider optimizing their WiFi for IoT devices and ensuring they have whole home coverage using wired APs (not mesh or extenders)—this is basic networking practices, especially for automated smart homes. If I had one complaint, it’s that you have to use the included cable. This cable is very short and isn’t a flat cable, not ideal for wall mounting. Also, you may notice it detects “ghosts” from time-to-time, this is normal behavior due to the way the tech works. Try marking reflective surfaces or other issues as “interference” in the app.

Tried multiple times to make work. Missed the return window. Ended up giving them away. What they don't tell you if you don't have a newer Apple phone or tablet, you won't be able to either pair it or watch the live feeds. Aqara supposedly have great devices.

I'm impressed. I'm using it with Home Assistant and have it set up with different automations. Both systems seem to work well together.

I gotta say after having 2 of these units for a few months now, I wouldn't ever get a wifi presence sensor again. It's just not reliable enough. After comparing the Fp1e that is zigbee based, it's 100x faster and more reliable. The fp2 is not quick to trigger, nor is it reliable at all. This could be due to my network or interference with other devices, but that still just points to not using wifi for automations. I really only went with this because of its capabilities to have zones, but in reality I don't think I need that. I am using smartthings for these, but have recently got a home assistant hub that I can try and use instead to see if it's any better, but I'm not going to hold my breath. If I had to do it all over again, I'd get all fp1e. I'm really disappointed in having spent $160 on two of these devices and now I can't return them. I'd honestly stay away.

Setup is a pain. Reading the failure fine print helped. I turned off my router. I set up another router which allowed me to run 2.4GHz only. The FP2 connected. I switched back to the good router and it worked. Aqara should include that instruction in the manual. I have several 2.4GHz only devices and not one has ever required turning off 5GHz in order to connect. Aqara should correct the firmware. Aqara claims that the FP2 works with Alexa. This is only partially true. The presence sensor shows up in the Alexa app as a motion sensor. Hence the bad revues on Redit and elsewhere. In fact, it does work as a presence sensor in the Alexa app. Aqara needs to correct the Alexa skill verbiage. Note the light sensor does not work in the Alexa app. Smart home reviewers claim the FP2 setup and routines are so powerful, yet none are available without the Aqara hob and other Aqara devices. This is misleading advice. Aqara has supplied the devices to these reviewers and so has some control over content. Aqara needs to correct these errors. I have read that the FP2 will be Matter certified. I hope this is true and that I can look forward to improved operation without Alexa adding inconsistent delays as a go between. Direct local operation between the FP2 and Homey Pro controller is my dream. I hope Aqara will make it a reality. In the meantime, the FP2 is useful enough I now have 2.

Really cool in Home Assistant. The setup is a bit if a pain. 1. Be sure when you use their app to install be on the WIFI network you want it to connect to. * Being a WIFI network that uses WPAx-Enterprise will fail the install. Use WPAx-personal on your IoT WIFI network 2. Be sure the WIFI network has internet access * You'll get error codes with vague resolutions 3. You need a solid connection during the setup 4. Configure you zones through the phone app. * Each zone will show up as an entity. 5. You need to 8 digit code next to the barcode on the device to connect it to HA 6. The phone app setup connects to Apple or Google. You'll need to remove the device from that app before HA will see it.

Ce capteur de présence détecte également la luminosité, ce qui en fait un parfait accessoires pour gérer de façon totalement automatique, l'éclairage d'une pièce. Il est capable de détecter plusieurs personnes dans son champ de détection de presque 50m2 et de les positionner assez précisément sur la carte de façon a déclencher des automatisations dans des situations précises. Ce qui en fait un capteur très nettement plus avancé qu'un simple détecteur de mouvements. Sans que cette fonction ne soit cumulable avec la détection de personnes, il peut aussi faire office de détecteur de chute. Dans ce cas l'installation est un peu différente, je n'ai pas pu tester ceci. Compatible avec HomeKit, il permet de gérer une bonne partie de ma domotique en ajoutant une donnée cruciale : la présence ou non de quelqu'un.

Nice product, works fine with Google Home (Finnally) I have 6, changed my life! 🤞🏻 Hope it lasts long.

Der Aqara Präsenzsensor FP2 lässt sich über das Apple Home‑Protokoll problemlos in Home Assistant einbinden – die Integration funktioniert zuverlässig. Besonders positiv fällt die Möglichkeit auf, mehrere Zonen einzurichten; die Erkennung ist präzise und reagiert auch bei leichten Bewegungen. Die Zoneneinstellungen müssen jedoch ausschließlich in der Aqara‑App vorgenommen werden; danach werden die konfigurierten Zonen von Home Assistant erkannt und können dort genutzt werden. Alles in allem ein genauer und vielseitiger Sensor, dessen Konfiguration etwas umständlich ist.

Firstly, this device is Home Assistant & Alexa friendly without an Aqara hub. Secondly and very importantly, this is a presence sensor, NOT a motion detector! It detects a human body in a room. This means you can use it to keep a light on whilst you are in the room, even if there is little to no movement. It detects presence, distance [from the sensor] and light level in lux which can be shown within in HA. In the Aqara app you can see motion detection and light level and distance on a grid. Within Amazon Alexa you can see presence only [detected or not]. No light level or distance. I've set this up to turn on a light if it detects presence using HA. It works very well. It is almost instant. It isn't cheap, but if you want presence [not motion] to be detected, this is fantastic. Obviously this costs a lot more than a mere motion detector as there is more "brains" going on. Would I buy it again? Yes. Would I recommend it? Yes, if presence detection is what you need.
