Each of those, as you can see, is showing up as sensors in the Home app. You’ll also notice that I’ve got additional sensors listed on this screen. Abode OSis simply an Abode motion sensor, but for some reason, it’s exposed as an occupancy sensor. I also have the FP1 listed (FP1 L). Additionally, the FP2 shows up as a separate sensor, that I assume covers the whole area, not just zones.
The Aqara app allows users to configure the FP2 sensor for various room environments, creating zones and areas for the sensor to detect.Some features of the FP2 sensor such as Matter support, posture detection and sleep monitor are not available by the time of launch. To setup this mode, you need to leave the room and toggle the moving fan. Trigger the Automatic Configuration within the app and it will identify the fan as an interference source, ignoring it in the future. This eliminates false positive triggers, which were a plague in the Aqara FP1. It also includes an illuminance light sensor, and now uses Wi-Fi instead of Zigbee, eliminating the need for an additional hub.
Home Assistant users can also take advantage of it's HomeKit compatibility and use that to get the FP2 to work with Home Assistant too, with the presence, light level and zones all passed through: The sensors available here are the same sensors available in all 4 platforms Is it Local? The Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 is an innovative and cutting-edge smart home device that offers significant advantages over traditional PIR infrared motion sensors. With its millimeter-wave radar technology, it can accurately detect the presence of people even with slight movements, ensuring the continuity and stability of the smart device. It also has the function of zone positioning, which allows for the automation of different conditions in different zones, such as beds and tables. The FP2 can divide a space into up to 30 small zones and recognize up to five targets, making it ideal for multi-person households. The FP2 can also control other smart home devices through ecosystems such as Apple Home, making it a versatile addition to any smart home setup. Its functions such as human fall recognition and a built-in light sensor make it a great helper that can truly combine the diversity of the user’s home life and realize the automation of different personalities. With its local automation and flexible installation methods, the Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 is easy to set up and use. Its IPX5 rating allows for installation in wet environments such as bathrooms, and its hidden USB-C port increases placement flexibility. The Aqara FP2 contains a 60 to 64GHz mmWave sensor, offering a 120-degree field of view, motion zones, interference sources, and multi-person detection. The light sensor can be used in automations, with options for when the Lux readings rise above or drop below specific levels. These levels are fixed in the Home app, but I’m not sure having them to be so specific is necessary. When it comes to the presence sensors, you simply get the same kind of options as you would with a motion sensor – detects or stops detecting occupancy. Below there are half-width buttons labelled ‘Installation Mode’ and ‘Zone Management’, and two full-width buttons, one for detection status, and the other for illuminance, or brightness levels as reported by the light sensor.Is the zones feature still supported if the FP2 is ceiling (top) mounted? Or will it only be supported for wall mounting? I saw the app seem to say that the only thing ceiling mount supports is for fall detection, but I assume this also means the zones won’t be.
The app also enables users to set ignore zones for areas with continuous movement that should not trigger the sensor. This is useful for example for ceiling fans, curtains or plants that can occasionally move and trigger the sensor. Placing an interference source over the plant
Built-in Light Sensor:Light sensors are already found in most of Aqara’s motion sensors, but this is the first sensor with an included light sensor (that isn’t already a light sensor) that’s exposed to HomeKit. Like multi-person detection, the light sensor can be used in a multitude of ways, that involve detection in a specific zone, but only trigger an automation if the light levels are above a certain number, for example.
As the official UK distributor of Aqara smart home products, Smart & Secure Centre are thrilled to announce the launch of the Aqara Presence Sensor FP2. This innovative smart home sensor is powered by cutting-edge millimeter-wave radar technology, offering unparalleled accuracy and stability in detecting human presence, even with slight movements. With its advanced features such as zone positioning, multi-person detection, ultra-high precision, and integration with popular smart home ecosystems, the Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 is set to revolutionize the way you automate and secure your home. The IWR6843 is also a 60-64GHz rated radar sensor, similar to the one in the Aqara FP1. However, this is boasted as an extremely capable sensor, up to 10 person detection in a single room so even though it’s similar on paper, it should perform better than the German-made sensor in the FP1. In addition to its presence detection capabilities, the Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 also features fall detection and alerts. When installed on the ceiling, the FP2 can detect if someone falls in a room and notify you immediately. This can be especially useful for elderly individuals or those with medical conditions, providing an extra layer of safety and peace of mind. The FP2 has a range of 2 meters in radius, and the accuracy of fall detection is over 98%, making it a reliable safety feature for your smart home. A total game Changer Let Aqara set the perfect ambience for you to relax. Just ask your favourite voice assistant to adjust the room temperature and lighting conditions so you can enjoy movie night in comfort.The nice thing about the integration will 3 platforms is that every zone you create is passed through as a sensor, along with the presence sensor for the entire area. This makes it possible to detect which zone someone is in. The Aqara FP2 comes in a sleek, circular design, and features a thinner main body compared to its predecessor. FP2 on the Left, FP1 on the Right Power on the Aqara FP2 and it should automatically enter pairing mode and start blinking. If it doesn’t, hold the button to enter pairing mode. Press the + button in the Aqara Home App: Step 1: Press the + Button Step 2: Search for FP2 Step 3: Put the device in Pairing Mode Step 4: Connect to FP2 Step 5: Input your Wi-Fi Credentials and Confirm the Connection Step 6: Added Successfully
