Aqara sensors & hub
Aqara offers a range of sensors that help with security and automation in the home. Also, there’s the Hub M3 for those that need an Aqara hub to tie everything together.
Presence Sensor FP2
Add advanced motion sensing and people detection with Aqara’s Presence Sensor FP2. Unlike traditional PIR motion sensors, the FP2 uses mmWave to monitor room occupancy, and it goes well beyond the capabilities of standard motion detectors that leave you in the dark.
The Presence Sensor FP2 tracks individuals to ensure it takes action accurately based on presence, not motion. With the FP2,you don’t have to wave your hand every 20 minutes when you’re enjoying a movie night just to keep the lights on.

Moreover, it can monitor a room of up to 430 square feet, detect up to five people, and run automations based on the exact location of each person. Users can define up to 30 zones in 320 cells, and the FP2 can detect whether a particular zone is occupied or not and use it as an automation trigger — called zone positioning.
Zone positioning can be used in Aqara’s app, Apple Home, and other third-party ecosystems. The light sensor ensures automations never leave you in the dark by ensuring a light turns on instead of off when needed.
The Presence Sensor FP2 can also detect falls and monitor a single sleeper in a space to track health details.
Get the Presence Sensor FP2 for $59.99 on Amazon, down from $82.99. That’s a 28% discount.
