Aqara FP1 Human Presence Sensor ZigBee 3.0 Smart Human body Detector Exists Sensor Smart Home for FP2 APP Aqara home homekit
Computer Components
“The Aqara FP1 is a solid 60GHz millimeter-wave presence sensor that detects humans even when completely still, unlike standard PIR motion sensors. It's more affordable than the FP2 but requires constant USB power and an Aqara Hub. Excellent for small-to-medium rooms where wired installation is feasible, though it lacks the multi-zone capabilities of the FP2. Good for smart home automation enthusiasts already in the Aqara ecosystem or using Home Assistant with Zigbee.”
