Product Information

Full details

The Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 is designed for users looking to implement advanced, room-wide presence detection for smart home automations. Its key benefit is the millimeter-wave radar technology that offers precise detection across large areas (up to 40 m²) and enables granular zone control, effectively acting as multiple sensors in one. A primary caveat is its requirement for constant power, meaning it is a wired device and not battery-operated.

FAQs

Does the Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 require a hub?

No, the Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 can integrate directly with HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, and Home Assistant without the need for an Aqara hub.

What is the maximum range and area coverage?

The sensor can cover rooms up to 40 m² (approximately 430 sq ft). It detects presence and motion within this area.

Can it detect multiple people?

Yes, the FP2 can simultaneously detect up to 5 people.

Is the fall detection feature medical-grade?

No, the fall detection is an assistive feature that can send alerts via the app, but it is not a certified medical device and should not be relied upon for critical health monitoring.

What is the privacy like with this sensor?

The FP2 uses millimeter-wave radar technology and does not employ cameras, ensuring user privacy.

Can automations run without an internet connection?

Yes, automations configured through the Aqara Home app or compatible platforms that run locally will continue to function even if the internet connection is lost.

Is it suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, with an IPX5 rating, the sensor is suitable for damp environments like bathrooms.

Troubleshooting

Sensor not detected by the app

Ensure the sensor is powered on and connected to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Restart your router and the sensor. Verify you are using the correct app and account.

False motion triggers

Adjust the sensor's placement to avoid areas with significant air movement (like vents) or pets. Refine zone boundaries in the app to exclude non-essential areas.

Zone automations not working as expected

Double-check the zone configurations and the associated automation rules in your smart home app. Ensure the sensor is correctly assigned to the room and zones.

Fall detection not triggering

Verify the sensor is ceiling-mounted and that the fall detection feature is enabled in the app. Ensure the sensor has a clear view of the intended area. Note that detection accuracy can vary.

Difficulty integrating with smart home platforms

Ensure your firmware is up to date. Follow the specific integration instructions for each platform (e.g., enabling Matter support if applicable, linking accounts). Try removing and re-adding the sensor to the Aqara app.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly precise motion and presence detection across large areas.
  • Granular control with zone positioning for complex automations.
  • Supports multi-person detection and fall alerts.
  • Works with major smart home ecosystems without a dedicated hub.
  • Preserves user privacy with camera-free technology.
  • Local automations ensure functionality even without internet.

Cons

  • Requires a constant wired power connection.
  • Fall detection is not a substitute for medical monitoring.
  • Setup may require careful positioning for optimal zone coverage.
  • Limited to 5 people simultaneously, which might be insufficient for very large gatherings.
  • Some advanced features like IFTTT integration might require specific app configurations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The FP2 is a wired device and requires a constant power source. Mount it in your desired location, ensuring it has a clear line of sight to the area you wish to monitor. Connect it to your Wi-Fi network via the Aqara Home app. You will then configure your zones and link it to your preferred smart home ecosystem (HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, Home Assistant) through their respective apps.

Compatibility: This sensor works directly with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Home Assistant. It does not require an Aqara hub for basic functionality within these ecosystems.

Care: The sensor has an IPX5 rating, making it resistant to low-pressure water jets, suitable for humid environments. Clean the exterior gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the power connection remains secure and free from dust.
