Aqara Presence Sensor FP2, mmWave Radar Wired Smart Motion Sensor
The FP2 is a conditional fit for an open-plan room with several activity areas: Aqara specifies up to 30 zones, while independent reviews show why placement and mapping matter. Buyers should budget effort for room edges and interference setup, then test occupied and empty states before relying on lighting rules. HomeKit and Home Assistant support provides useful integration paths, but controller pairing constraints still apply. Historical stuck-presence reports do not establish current firmware failure rates.

Where sources differ
Early reviews differed on offline behavior; unspecified firmware and integration conditions prevent a current US reconciliation.
Reported issues and fixes
Early review reported stuck presence
- Status
- reported
- Symptom
- Occasional occupied state after departure and gaps in early bedroom testing.
Care and support
USB-C interface is documented, but no binding US support lifetime, repair program or spare-part commitment was established.
Ownership costs
Installation effort is supported; recurring monetary costs and measured energy use are not established, and no price observations are submitted.
Who it suits
Room fit, setup and mode trade-offs are supported; controlled current-US testing and rival-revision comparisons remain absent.
Measured performance
Presence clearance time
1 sReviewer timed a few presence triggers during FP1/FP2 comparison. · Approximately 1 second in SmartHomeScene's April 2023 Asian-market FP2 sample. Firmware, repetitions and timing instrument were not specified for this benchmark. Not a verified US-variant timing or guarantee.
Source [5]Buyer questions
Before you buy
What type of room suits the FP2?
The review evidence favors large rooms and open-plan areas where detailed presence automation is useful. [3]
Compatibility
Which smart-home platforms work with the FP2?
The evidence names HomeKit, Home Assistant, Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT. [6], [3]
Does the FP2 need an Aqara hub?
The manufacturer manual says its exposed HomeKit, Home Assistant, Alexa and Google Home integrations do not need a hub. [6]
Setup
Limitations
What should buyers test before relying on the FP2?
Test occupied and empty states in the intended room. Early reviewers reported occasional stuck presence and bedroom detection gaps, but those historical observations do not establish current firmware failure rates. [2]
