Aqara Presence Sensor FP2
The Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 is more than just that in many ways. It’s really more like having 30 sensors in one. Working over your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, it can be exposed as multiple sensors to HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home platforms to monitor rooms up to 430 square-feet and can be divided into as many as 30 zones (sofa, bed, or desktop, and so on) to deliver various customizable integrations and automations to each. It can effectively keep an eye on various elements of a room, the lighting conditions, and the people in it to trigger various automations throughout your space, all without ever sending data to the cloud or capturing anything on camera for complete privacy.
A far more advanced system than typical PIR infrared motion sensors, it leverages a built-in light sensor as well as motion detection, multi-person fall detection, and millimeter-wave radar technology to trigger lighting automations throughout smart home, notifications, and other gear in your setup.
The millimeter-wave radar detection does not require camera monitoring, while automations do not need an active internet connection or to send data to the cloud, offering up greater privacy and reliability than your average smart home sensors.
- 30-Zone Positioning
- Multi-Person Detection
- Multi-Ecosystem Support
- Recessed USB-C port and magnetic adjustable stand
- Built-In Light Sensor
