The Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 uses a single radar sensor, providing a significant upgrade from PIR motion sensors. It is capable of monitoring large rooms of up to 40 m² and can be divided into up to 30 zones such as a sofa, bed, or desktop, with individual automations set for each. The FP2 can detect up to 5 people simultaneously, initiating different scenarios and automation. It can be mounted on the ceiling with a Falling Detection Mode to alert users of falls via an app. This sensor is compatible with HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, and Home Assistant, and doesn't require an Aqara hub for integration, making it suitable for smart home enthusiasts. The Presence Sensor FP2 uses millimetre wave radar technology for precise movement detection without false negatives and doesn't require camera monitoring, ensuring privacy.
