The Aqara Presence Multi-Sensor FP300 is designed for homeowners and smart home enthusiasts looking to elevate their automation triggers through advanced occupancy detection. Its primary benefit is the combination of AI dual PIR and mmWave technology, which eliminates false negatives common with traditional motion sensors by detecting even the slightest presence. A notable caveat is that while it offers robust connectivity, users must ensure their hub supports Thread or Zigbee protocols to fully utilize its smart features.

Yes, it requires a compatible Thread or Zigbee smart home hub to function within an automation ecosystem.
While it is designed for human presence, high-sensitivity settings might detect large pets, so adjustments in the app may be required.
The sensor is designed for easy battery access; consult the device housing to slide off the cover and replace the cells.
The FP300 is intended for indoor use and should not be exposed to rain, excessive humidity, or direct extreme temperatures.
PIR detects heat signatures and significant movement, while mmWave detects tiny fluctuations caused by breathing and micro-movements, allowing for stationary presence detection.
Ensure your hub is in pairing mode and the sensor is within range; reset the sensor if the issue persists.
Adjust the sensitivity settings in the app or re-position the sensor to ensure a better field of view for the mmWave radar.
Check for moving objects such as curtains or fans near the sensor and remove them from the detection zone.
To begin, ensure your smart home hub is updated to the latest firmware to support Zigbee or Thread connectivity. Mount the sensor on a wall or ceiling with a clear line of sight to the desired area, ensuring there are no large metallic objects blocking the sensor range. For long-term maintenance, regularly check the battery levels within your home automation app to prevent unexpected outages. If the sensor performance degrades, ensure the front lens is clean from dust and that no large vibration sources, such as heavy machinery or fans, are placed directly adjacent to the device, as these can occasionally cause phantom detection.
