Description
What does "open box" mean?
Open-box products are returned products with opened or damaged packaging, but fully checked from a technical point of view and completely functional. They come with the same warranty as new products.
Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 uses advanced millimetre-wave radar technology, able to accurately detect human presence even during very subtle movements. This technology ensures stable, accurate and continuous operation of the device. The sensor supports zone positioning, making it possible to automate different conditions in areas such as the bed, the desk or the sofa. It can divide a room into up to 30 zones and can detect up to 5 people simultaneously. It can also control other smart devices through ecosystems such as Apple Home, offering a wide range of functions. It also includes features such as fall detection and a built-in light sensor, making it an ideal aid for personalised and efficient home automation.
Key features:
Zone Positioning
The sensor can cover an area of up to 40 m² and can be divided into up to 30 virtual zones. Each zone can have its own automations (e.g. bed, desk, sofa), the equivalent of using several traditional PIR sensors with a single FP2 device.
Multi-person detection
It can detect up to 5 people simultaneously, reacting differently depending on each person's position – without interference between users.
High accuracy and respect for privacy
It detects presence without capturing real images. Radar technology provides much more stable detection than PIR sensors, even when the person is sitting still or sleeping.
Integration into smart ecosystems (HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, etc.)
FP2 appears as multiple sensors in apps such as HomeKit, Home Assistant, Alexa or Google. It does not require a hub for integration, making it perfect for smart home enthusiasts.
Fall detection
The sensor can detect a fall within a 2 metre radius with an accuracy of over 98%, sending quick notifications – without cameras or wristbands. It must be mounted on the ceiling only.
Built-in light sensor
Ideal for automations based on the ambient light level – turning on the lights when it is dark, for example.
Local automation + Flexible installation
Runs locally after setup – even if the Wi-Fi goes down, automations stay active. Versatile installation and IPX5 protection – also suitable for the bathroom.
Hidden USB-C port
Lets you replace the included cable with any USB-C cable, for flexible positioning.
Example automation scenarios:
1. Instant Away mode
If no presence is detected in any of the rooms, turn off the lights and the air conditioning and arm the alarm.
(→ FP2 + Hub + Smart plug + Smart bulbs)
2. Non-disturbing “Wake-up” automation
If a person enters the bathroom but presence is still detected in the bed zone, do not open the curtains.
(→ FP2 + Hub + Curtain Driver)
3. Adaptive ambient lighting
If presence is detected at the desk, turn on the LEDs in that zone only.
(→ FP2 + Hub + LED strip/Plug/Smart bulbs)
4. Smart security activation
If presence is detected in the living room, activate the G3 camera for monitoring.
(→ FP2 + Camera Hub G3)
Useful case studies:
-
Redefining the space – replace dozens of PIR sensors in a space with a single FP2.
-
Quiet reading – detects subtle movements (breathing, heartbeat), without you needing to move.
-
Natural interaction – no more talking to a voice assistant to turn on the lights; they switch on automatically when you enter the room.
-
Fall detection for seniors – FP2 detects falls and sends notifications in the app, without wristbands or cameras.
Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 redefines the way you understand presence in your home. With ultra-precise detection, local automations and broad integration, it is the ideal sensor for an intuitive, efficient and discreet smart home.
Practical use cases
- Keep the lights on automatically while you are in the room, without the false switch-offs of classic motion sensors.
- Divide the room into several zones and trigger different automations depending on the occupied zone.
- Detect static presence (e.g. a person sitting at a desk) for smart office scenes.
