Zigbee Presence Sensor FP1E, mmWave Radar Wired Motion Sensor, AI Spatial Learning, Supports HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, Matter Over Bridge, Requires Aqara Zigbee 3.0 Hub

We purchased this device so my wife would know if I was in bed sleeping while she was at work. The functionality, connectivity, and compatibility made it a very easy installation and it is a dead simple way to detect the prescene in a room. The companion app allows you to really fine-tune the settings to what your perfect use case is. Excellent to ensure lights are turned off through automation when no one is in the room. The amount of smart device routines this enables feels endless.

As others have said, this is a bit of a PITA to set up and pair. You have to pair it twice without removing it from the system after the first, no repeaters, use the built in driver, and get very close to the hub to avoid repeaters when first set up. Other than that, once set up and working, it's pretty terrific. It detects occupancy, not just movement. It is Zigbee so it reports quickly, reports no movement after about 15-20 seconds of no occupancy. this is not a 'presence' sensor in Hubitat terms which refers to being present in the system at home. It refers to being an occupant of a room. It has no illuminance sensor so you can't set it up for control based on illumination. At the current discounted price of about 40, It's a good sensor. At 30 I will buy another or two. Third Reality's motion sensor is 15-20 and a good value for a MOTION sensor. This is NOT battery operated or battery backed up and has a hard wired USB A plug with a 6' (approx) cord, so you will need a power source for it. They say 1a (5v) works. I have mine on a 2a - hard to find just 1a these days, and they are inexpensive if you can. It also re-connects quickly if the power goes out. I found that out when moving it from the 'setup' location to a distant location (with repeaters). All in all not too bad. It's not THAT new (2023) or so and has built in drivers in Hubitat - no need to download other drivers.

I've been using this Aqara FP1E Presence Sensor for six months now, in fact, I bought a second unit because the first was so reliable. Setup was a breeze, and the versatile mounting options made it easy to place exactly where I needed it. What truly sets this apart is the rock-solid accuracy of its presence detection. For my home office, where I often sit still for long periods, this sensor has been a game-changer; it never fails to detect occupancy even with limited motion. It’s consistently on point, quickly responsive, and the adjustable sensitivity is perfect for ensuring it works precisely for my home's specific needs. I wasted money on a few cheaper brands before this, and none of them came close to this level of consistent, daily performance. It has been absolutely worth the investment!

I wanted to like these, but the fact is they are inconsistent and pretty much impossible to diagnose or configure. Example: I want a presence sensor to detect when I am in my home office/ where much of the time I am sitting at a desk. I have it set up overhead with a clear sight to the desk. The problem is it will work fine for a day and do 100% what I want: showing detected while I'm working....clearing when I leave. Zero issues. Then, day 2, day 3, it will start showing clear even while I'm there. Same spot for me and the sensor. Same activities. Even with a 2-5 minute buffer, it will still cause my light to shut off. The remarkable thing is when it bugs out it will show motion detected and show the right distance, just never trigger to occupied. Resetting it seems to help, which suggests this is a design flaw/software bug, but I shouldnt need to constantly reset an expensive sensor.

It is erroneous to say this sensor is Zigbee 3 compatible or HomeKit compatible UNLESS you have an Aqara hub. When I added the sensor by itself to my SmartThings system, it showed up as a "Zigbee Connect thing" or some generic nonsense like that. It did nothing. I thought the Zigbee 3 note meant I could use this with HomeKit through SmartThings, but no. It specifically says "Requires Aqara Zigbee 3.0 HUB " and they mean it. Once I bought the cheapest Aqara hub (around $29 when I got it), it still took some work and updating firmware to get it all working, but now it is flawless; I have a simple sensor that will turn lights off when I am not in my office. Also, I don't think this will work in “HomeKit compatible" mode in the Aqara app. I tried it, but the sensor would never pair with the hub. Then when I redid it in the Aqara app with an account (not HomeKit compatible mode), I was notified to update firmware, and things all worked. Once it was set up, it worked great. But the Zigbee 3 note is really about what Aqara hub to get, not hubs in general. So, honestly, I would recommend this if you have an Aqara Zigbee 3 hub or you just add in to the cost the extra for the USB stick Aqara hub. It's an actual "presence sensor" not just motion detection.

As a home assistant user, I wanted to automate the garage lights to stay on when someone is in the garage and turn off when no one is. This device has a sufficient range (6M/20Ft) and detection cone (120 Degrees) to cover a North American 2 Car Garage. It can detect a person through car glass. Caveats: it cannot see through metal garage doors, it does not come with a power brick, you will need a USB-A Power brick, or consider a power receptacle with a USB power source in addition to the standard power plugs. The device can detect movement through drywall, and you can decrease the detection distance.

Funciona muy bien y se enlaza a la primera.

Toplamda 10 adet aldım. Şimdi Aqara hub'lardan veya Zigbee2MQTT üzerinden direkt bağlayabilirsiniz. Kullanmaya başlamadan önce, boş bir odada (hayvansız, TV kapalı, bilgisayar bile kapalı) AI öğrenme modunu çalıştırın. Konumlandırmaya dikkat edin. Oda girişinde ben kapının üstüne yerleştirdim. Zigbee2MQTT üzerinden de ekleyebilirsiniz, ancak bu durumda AI öğrenme modu aktif olmuyor. Bir haftadır kullanıyorum. Ofis olarak kullandığım küçük odada bir kere bile yanlışlıkla ışığı kapatmadı. Açma hızı da mükemmel. Odaya girer girmez ışığı açıyor. Tek eksisi, lux sensörü bulunmaması. Bu cihazla hareket sensörüne bile ihtiyaç duymuyorsunuz. Zigbee2MQTT'de mesafeyi de görebiliyorsunuz. Ancak dediğim gibi, AI modu Zigbee2MQTT ile gelmiyor (doğal olarak). Arkadaşım da aynı cihazı kullanıyor. Örneğin, onda hareket eden perdeye ve çamaşır makinesine nadiren de olsa tepki vermiş. Bu açıdan denemedim ama bende takılı olduğu yer klima önü. Deneme amacıyla klimayı hem soğuk hem de sıcak modda çalıştırdım ve hiçbir sorun yaşamadım. Bu cihazı alarak evinizdeki tüm ışıkları akıllandırabilirsiniz. Doğru bir şekilde yerleştirir ve yeterli sayıya ulaşırsanız, evinizde bir daha ışık açıp kapatmazsınız. Ayrıca, alarm sistemi olarak da kullanılabilir. Home Assistant dahil tüm sistemlerde çalışıyor. Ben Aqara M2 hub üzerinden tanıtıp Home Assistant'a HomeKit Controller ile ekledim. Aqara cihazlarını da Sonoff Micro Zigbee USB adaptöre bağladım. Zaten tek yaşadığım için hareket sensörleri ile ışık otomasyonu yapabiliyorum. Mantık basit: girdiğim odada ışık açılıyor, diğer odalarda ışık kapanıyor. Bu şekilde evimde ışık açıp kapatma ihtiyacı duymuyorum. Ancak misafir geldiğinde sıkıntı oluyordu. Şimdi, misafir gelince kapıdaki kamera algılıyor ve evi misafir moduna geçiriyor. Bu modda tüm FP1'lere elektrik gidiyor ve aktif hale geliyor. Böylece evde kim olursa olsun, ışıklar otomatik olarak çalışıyor. Matter veya Matter destekleyen hub'lar artık yaygınlaştı. Bu cihazı istediğiniz yerde kullanabilirsiniz. Örneğin, Hue ışıkları veya Sonoff rölelerini Matter ile Aqara uygulamasına tanıtıp doğrudan otomasyonlar oluşturabilirsiniz. Cihazı mutlaka kimsenin dokunamayacağı bir yere yerleştirin, çünkü yerinden oynatılırsa AI öğrenme modunu yeniden çalıştırmak zorunda kalabilirsiniz. Tek ve büyük eleştirim: 1700 TL'ye Black Friday'de aldım, ancak 5 gün sonra fiyat 3800 TL'ye çıktı. Avrupa’da FP2 90 Euro, FP1 ise 45-50 Euro arasında satılıyor. Arada yarı yarıya fark var, çünkü FP2 çok daha fazla özelliğe sahip bir cihaz. Ancak Türkiye'de FP1, FP2'den daha pahalı. Bu nasıl bir mantık? Fiyat neden 1700 TL’den 3800 TL’ye çıktı?

Funziona bene ed è reattivo, peccato che manchi di un sensore della luminosità come il modello FP2. P.S: Prima del pairing con l'Hub aggiornate il firmware di quest'ultimo. Ho provato più volte con l'Hub E1 senza successo e stavo per renderlo. Ho notato per caso la presenza di un upgrade del firmware e tutto poi ha funzionato dovere. L'app di Aquara dovrebbe presentarlo al momento della registrazione dell'unità. Edit: dopo 1 mese di utilizzo non posso che confermare la bontà del prodotto. E' sicuramente migliore del sensore di presenza Meross appena uscito, che a volte non reagisce.

As usual. Works perfectly.

Vorweg: Ich hatte längere Zeit TuYa Radarsensoren die das ganze Z2M-System mit Statusmeldungen zugespammt haben. Neben dem Problem funktionierten diese TuYa Melder auch nicht immer zuverlässig und haben oft Fehlauslösungen gehabt. Nun habe ich diese beiden Melder rausgeschmissen und gegen diese Aqara FP1E getauscht. In der Decke habe ich mir dann ein USB Kabelnetzteil von Logilink reingesetzt damit der FP1E auch dort Strom bekommt. Da der alte TuYa Melder so groß war, wie eine GU10 Lampenfassung habe ich mir eine adaptiert und den Aqara dort eingebaut, siehe Foto. Passt so grade ebend. Lediglich die Halterung musste ich dafür anpassen, da das Gelenk hinten nur Magnetisch auf eine Metallplatte mit zwei Schraublöchern geht. Der Sensor ist dafür ja aber auch nicht gemacht, sondern für einen direkten Anbau an die Decke. Aufgrund des Lochs bei mir und der doch recht großen Aufbauphase entschied ich mich für den etwas improvisierten Einbau. In Zigbee2MQTT konnte ich es nahtlos ohne Gebastel einbinden (Zigbee2MQTT 2.0, HA 2025.1, Skyconnect Stick, ca. 150 Zigbee Geräte). Ich wunderte mich erst, dass der Sensor ständig Präsenz anzeigt, aber dafür muss einmalig das "AI Learning" in den Einstellungen aktiviert werden , damit der Melder sich kalibriert. Das würde aber in der richtigen App von Aqara sowieso gemacht werden müssen. Der Melder arbeitet wirklich hervorragend. Auch die Auslösedistanz funktioniert relativ genau. Damit kann ich unterbinden, dass der Vierbeiner das Licht auslöst, das konnten die TuYas nicht so präzise. Auch das Routing des Netzwerks über die Aqaras funktioniert laut Map sehr gut. Dank Zigbee ist die Latenz des Aqara unfassbar gering, dass es nicht auffällt ob es ein hart geschaltetes Licht mit Analog-BWM ist, oder der Aqara. Einziger Wehrmutstropfen: Der Melder hat KEINEN Sensor für die aktuelle Beleuchtungsstärke. Somit fällt eine Abhängigkeit der Schaltung nach Helligkeit leider raus. Dank Home Assistant und der Sonnenstandintegration kein Problem, wäre aber trotzdem schöner gewesen mit einem Helligkeitssensor. Dafür hat der Aqara FP1E seltsamerweise aber ein Temperatursensor Onboard, den ich nicht benötige. Fazit: Begeistert! Preis/Leistung wirklich Top. Bis jetzt keinerlei Fehlauslösungen, schnelles präzises Auslösen und einfache Installation Dank USB. Kann ich nur empfehlen das Teil.
