Product Information
Full details
The Aqara Multi-State Sensor P100 is an ideal solution for homeowners and apartment dwellers looking to monitor doors, windows, and household objects with a single, robust device. Its standout benefit is a unified design that eliminates the frustrating alignment requirements of traditional two-piece magnetic sensors, making it perfect for surfaces that sag or shift over time. While highly versatile, users should note that accessing the full range of advanced features requires a specific setup: Thread protocol handles basic status monitoring, while the Zigbee protocol—when used with an Aqara hub—is necessary for specialized object monitoring capabilities.

FAQs
Do I need a separate magnet for this sensor?
No, the P100 is a single-body sensor and does not require a separate magnet for operation.
Can I use this without an Aqara hub?
Yes, you can use the sensor on a Thread network without a hub, but you will lose access to specific advanced object-monitoring features exclusive to Zigbee.
Is this device compatible with Apple Home?
Yes, the P100 supports Apple Home through both its Matter and native integration capabilities.
Will this work on a refrigerator?
Yes, the single-body design is specifically suited for monitoring appliances like refrigerators and safes.
What is the difference between the Thread and Zigbee modes?
Thread is used for standard status reporting and Matter integration, while Zigbee provides advanced functionality when managed by an Aqara hub.
Troubleshooting
Device is not showing up in the smart home app
Ensure your hub or Border Router is within range and the sensor is in pairing mode.
Object monitoring features are missing
Verify that the sensor is paired via Zigbee to an Aqara hub rather than just the Thread network.
Matter connectivity is failing
Confirm your Thread Border Router and Matter Controller are updated to the latest firmware versions.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Simple one-piece installation eliminates alignment frustration
- High versatility for doors, windows, and stationary objects
- Works with both Thread and Zigbee for broad compatibility
- Reliable performance on sagging doors or heavy appliance seals
Cons
- Requires an Aqara hub to access advanced Zigbee-based object monitoring
- Thread-only setups may limit certain advanced sensor features
- Requires a Thread Border Router for Matter connectivity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the single-body design; simply adhere the unit to the moving object or frame using the provided mounting hardware. For connectivity, ensure your smart home network includes a compatible Thread Border Router if you intend to use the Matter standard. If you require advanced object monitoring, pair the device through the Aqara Home app using a Zigbee-compatible Aqara hub. For maintenance, keep the sensor area clean from heavy dust or debris accumulation. Periodically verify the bond of the adhesive or mounting screws to ensure the device remains securely attached to the intended surface.
