Aqara FP2 Presence Sensor
Aqara FP2 Presence Sensor uses cutting-edge millimeter wave radar technology that can accurately detect the presence of people, even with slight movements. This technology ensures the continuity and stability of the smart device. It also has a zone positioning function that allows automation of different conditions in different zones, such as beds and tables. One room can now be divided into up to 30 small areas and up to five targets can be recognized (multi-person detection). It can also control other smart home devices through ecosystems such as Apple Home to achieve wider applications. It includes features such as human fall detection and a built-in light sensor. It is also a great helper that can truly bring together the diversity of the user's home life and realize the automation of different personalities.

Highlights:
Zonal positioning: offers significant advantages before traditional infrared PIR motion sensors by using a single radar sensor to monitor rooms up to approx. 430 square feet (approx. 40 m²)*. In addition, you can divide it into up to 30 zones, such as the sofa, bed or desktop. In addition, you can set individual automation for each zone. It's like using multiple PIR motion sensors simultaneously with one presence sensor, FP2.
Multi-Person Detection: up to 5** target persons can be detected at the same time. As a result, it can also automatically respond to the position of different people during space sharing without interfering with each other.
Extremely high accuracy: Privacy and accuracy are taken into account. perception. It is able to recognize non-inductive signal detection without collecting real images.
Automation can generally be achieved locally. Millimeter wave radar technology is more stable than infrared sensor detection even when you are sitting or sleeping.
Control other devices via HomeKit etc.: FP2 is exposed as multiple sensors in HomeKit ( and Home Assistant), Alexa and Google Home. You can easily integrate the sensor without the need for a hub, which is clearly the best solution for smart home enthusiasts to expand their smart home setup.****
Fall detection and alerts** *: When someone in the room falls, FP2 can detect and notify you. It is designed in the most private and convenient way, without the need to wear any devices or install a camera for constant monitoring. The range is a circle with a radius of 2 meters and the drop detection accuracy is >98%. The recommended installation height is 2.5m-2.8m.
Built-in light sensor: A fully functional light sensor in the Aqara ecosystem. With it, lighting automation becomes much more flexible and pleasant. A built-in light sensor also enables advanced, theme-based home automation.
Local automation and flexible installation methods: Once setup is complete, the product runs locally. FP2 automation will still work as originally set if there is occasional Wi-Fi instability. And it protects your privacy better. It has multiple installation methods to adapt to different installation scenarios.
IPX5 and hidden USB-C port: Thanks to its IP rating, the sensor can also be installed in wet environments such as bathrooms. The sensor has an open USB-C connector that allows you to replace the included cable with any compatible USB-C cable, increasing installation flexibility.
Disclaimers
*Recommended detection space is 10 m³ -40 m³.
** The best result can be achieved in the case of tracking a maximum of 3 people.
*** Only ceiling placement is supported for drop detection. And fall detection can only recognize most common fall scenarios and cannot be used as a substitute for medical equipment or vision. Currently, fall detection cannot differentiate between a slow fall against a wall or passing out after sitting down.
****Bluetooth is available for future Matter feature.
Use cases :
Scene 1: "Redefinition of space" scene.
In the past life of the smart home, people often had to install small motion sensors to different places. Because the detection range and sensor capacity are limited, the user needs to install multiple sensors. The result is inconvenient user management, difficult settings and other issues.
FP2 redefines the “virtual space” in an application. Redistribute the space in a volume of 40 m³ (8 m × 6 m). This means that at such a scale, users only need one human presence sensor to realize customized automation in multiple virtual small spaces to reduce the clutter and energy consumption of users operating multiple sensors. Now, one FP2 presence sensor is roughly equivalent to the continuous use of several legacy sensors, allowing continuous energy savings. A simple life begins with the simplification of smart home devices.
2. scene: silent reading scene
Traditional PIR motion sensors usually cannot detect when the user is sitting quietly. As a result, some automation equipment cannot detect and interrupts work. Therefore, the user often has to shake their hand to trigger the sensor detection.
When users automate with old PIR motion/presence sensors, it often happens that the detection automation cannot be triggered due to sitting still. Using FP2 can effectively solve this problem. The millimeter wave radar technology used by FP2 can continue to detect even if the user is sitting still by detecting the user's heartbeat and breathing.
Scene 3: Control other smart home sub-devices with connection with Apple HomePod mini, etc.
Suitable for users who already have Apple Home, Google Home and Amazon Alexa at home. In the past, users used third-party products and often needed voice interaction to start other devices. Is there any other way to make the user's intelligent connection behavior natural without spending too much effort?
FP2 is connected to the Apple HomePod mini device, the user only needs to enter a certain small area and the FP2 detects the presence of the human body, which can trigger other smart lights to react by turning on the lights.
Scene 4: Fall detection and fall injury reduction (new sensor users)*
Falls easily occur in the elderly group. Knowing the situation of a fall as soon as possible is an important way for seniors to prevent serious injuries caused by falls, especially for seniors who live alone. Therefore, it is very important to detect the fall situation in time and get informative reminders.
FP2 is installed in relatively narrow places with ceiling mounting, such as kitchens, toilets or bedrooms. Real-time fall status detection and remote feedback in the app so that family members far away can receive faster reminders and alarms.
*Fall detection can only recognize most fall scenarios and cannot be used as a substitute for medical equipment or vision. Current fall detection cannot distinguish between a slow fall against a wall or a faint after sitting down.
Examples of automation scenes:
1. Lean Away mode without delays.
IF the presence sensors in each room detect absence, THEN turn off the lights, air conditioner and activate the alarm system.
Previously you had to waiting tens of minutes to make sure away mode doesn't trigger when someone is home. Now you will be able to save energy and increase protection without manually enabling away mode.

2. Wake Up automation that doesn't disturb your family members.
IF someone enters the bathroom while a presence is still detected in bed, THEN don't open the blinds*.
< br />*Two automatics must be configured: for presence and absence in the bed zone. FP2 can detect if someone is still in bed, and the Wake-Up automation will not trigger if the other person wakes up.

3. Accented lighting that follows you.
IF a presence is detected on the desktop, THEN turn on the appropriate lights.
Lighting can now follow you around the room: they will only be on lights near you, while other lights will turn off if you leave the area!
(FP2 Presence Sensor + Hub + LED Strip/Smart Lights/Smart Plug)
4. Detect a presence and start protecting your home.
IF a presence is detected in the living room, THEN Turn on the Aqara G3 camera to monitor.
Turn on the G3 camera by detecting the presence of people in a larger space: if the FP2 detects someone, the G3 camera automatically turns on to monitor and can circulate around the living room.
