Overview

What it is and where it fits

The most capable sensor in this category and the one to specify for a large open-plan room. Like the FP1E it uses millimetre wave radar to detect a stationary person, so lights hold while people sit. What it adds is zoning: you draw regions in the app and each one reports independently, which lets a single sensor run the seating area, the dining table and the entrance as separate triggers. It tracks several people at once and reports roughly where they are within the covered area. It connects over Wi-Fi rather than Zigbee, so no Aqara hub is needed, and it appears natively in Apple Home, Alexa and Google. Power is continuous USB-C, same as the FP1E. Two honest caveats. Setup takes longer than any other sensor here, because drawing zones and calibrating edges is a job you do in the room with the app open, not something that configures itself. And being Wi-Fi rather than Thread, it puts another device on your 2.4GHz network and depends on it. In a villa living room or a large majlis, the zoning is worth both. In a small bedroom it is over-specified and the FP1E does the job.

  • Splits one room into zones that automate separately
  • Holds lighting on for people sitting still
  • Works in Apple Home with no Aqara hub
  • Tracks more than one person in the space

What to check before you order

This is the sensor for the large villa living room and majlis layouts common in Dubai, where a single open space runs to fifty square metres or more and one lighting trigger for the whole room is too blunt. Zoning lets the seating area behave differently from the dining end. Budget real time for commissioning: a good FP2 install is an hour of drawing zones and walking the room, and a rushed one produces false presence that the client will notice within days. It needs constant USB power and a solid 2.4GHz signal at the mounting point, so check coverage in that corner before committing the cable route. Radar carries through gypsum partitions, so exclude the zone nearest a shared stud wall.

Questions about the Aqara Presence Sensor FP2

What can the FP2 do that the FP1E cannot?
Chevron down icon
Zones and multiple people. The FP1E gives one present or absent answer for the room. The FP2 lets you mark out areas, so the sofa can hold the lights on while the dining end stays dark, and an entrance zone can trigger something as someone walks in. It also tracks several occupants at once.

Is it hard to set up?
Chevron down icon
It is the most involved sensor in this range, and worth saying plainly. Zones are drawn in the app against the real room and need walking through and adjusting. Allow around an hour for a proper job. A rushed setup gives false presence at zone edges, which is the main complaint people have with this product.

Does it need an Aqara hub?
Chevron down icon
No. The FP2 uses Wi-Fi and joins Apple Home, Alexa or Google directly. That saves a hub but it does mean the sensor depends on your wireless network holding up in that part of the house, so check signal at the mounting position first.

Is radar a privacy concern in a living room?
Chevron down icon
It records no image or sound. The sensor reports occupancy and approximate position within the zones you define, nothing more, which is why radar is often the better choice than a camera for interior lighting automation in a majlis or bedroom.
