Aqara’s new mmWave presence sensor is cheaper, simpler, and works with Matter.
The $50 FP1E is a wired sensor that can detect presence through movements as minimal as breathing, so your lights don’t shut off just because you’re sitting still.
It’s a streamlined version of the $70 Aqara FP2, lacking features like zone positioning but still offering the precision of mmWave motion detection. The FP1E communicates over Zigbee, so requires an Aqara hub.
