The Aqara FP300<\/strong> This is a wireless 5-in-1 presence sensor with mmWave, PIR, light, temperature, and humidity detection. The sensor utilizes state-of-the-art technology to precisely detect presence, measure environmental conditions, and trigger intelligent automations. Thanks to support for Zigbee, Thread, and Matter, it is compatible with major smart home platforms and can be flexibly integrated into existing systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical Highlights & Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Precise presence detection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The sensor uses a combination of passive infrared (PIR) sensor and 60 GHz mmWave radar technology to detect both motion and stationary presence<\/strong> It reliably detects movement \u2013 even when a person is barely moving. The detection range is up to approximately 6 meters with a 120\u00b0 detection angle, making it ideal for typical living spaces. Thanks to integrated AI, the sensor can better filter out common disturbances such as slight movements of curtains or pets.<\/p>\n\n\n

5-in-1 sensor technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In addition to presence detection, the sensor offers other measured values, such as Ambient brightness <\/strong>\u2013 useful for light control, temperature <\/strong>\u2013 for comfort and heating automation and humidity <\/strong>\u2013 for air quality monitoring.
All these values enable intelligent automation: e.g., "If presence is detected and brightness < 400 lux, then turn on the light" or "If presence is detected and temperature > 28 \u00b0C, then activate the air conditioner".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexible wireless protocols & compatibility <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The sensor supports both Zigbee<\/strong> as well as Thread\/Matter<\/strong> This means it can be integrated into a wide variety of ecosystems: Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or SmartThings. In Zigbee mode, additional settings are available within the Aqara Home app ecosystem (e.g., detection range, sensor on\/off, measurement frequency).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battery operation & freedom of installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The sensor is powered by two CR2450 button cell batteries and requires no power cord. According to the manufacturer, it should have a battery life of up to [duration missing] in Zigbee mode. 3 years<\/strong>, in thread mode up to 2 years<\/strong> This may be possible (depending on usage and settings). This allows for flexible placement on walls, ceilings, or even magnetically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
