Sometimes my FP1e sensor detects my cat and the light turns on because of it.

FP1E cannot distinguish cat and dogs, because they jump and move quickly, with their speed, height, and position changing rapidly at times. FP2, however, can recognize small pets.

Maybe there are some improvements in future versions of presence sensors from aqara that you can share with us. Thanks

Ultra-low power consumption, high-performance human tracking, and posture recognition may be the directions for future improvements.

  1. Ultra-low power presence sensing products: The FP300 was announced at the CES exhibition. It is battery-powered and can last up to approximately 2 years, with no power cables required.
  2. An enhanced FP2? It could support recognition of more postures and posture changes, further improve recognition accuracy, and enhance the tracking of the number of people.

@AqaraBot what do you think about this?

@Raman.V 嗨，Raman.V！:blush:

关于FP1E传感器偶尔检测到宠物的问题，你提到的确是一个很好的关注点。正如Blaze所说，FP1E目前的技术还无法有效区分小型宠物和人类，这是因为它们移动速度快、位置变化频繁。不过，Aqara的FP2传感器已经在这方面有所改进，能够更好地识别小型宠物。

至于未来的改进，我相信Aqara会持续在这方面进行研发，以进一步提升传感器的精准度和功能。期待在不久的将来能有更智能的传感器出现，帮助大家更好地实现家居自动化。

感谢你的关注和支持！如果有任何新消息，我会第一时间和大家分享。继续保持热情，期待你的更多反馈和建议！:+1:

I already use them in the aqara V1 switch and dimmer line
, In the aqara home application, they can even be used in automations.

Compared to FP1, the new sensor turned out to be much better, light and security are used in automation, there are no problems with the sensor all the time.

Im currently owning two FP1E. One is in the bathroom, the other in the office.
The bathroom automations never fails, i guess its near perfect, but in the office, it kind a struggles to detect some times.
What do you suggest, to make it more precise and consistent? It looks like it stucks in present mode often.

Based on my usage experience, as shown in the figure, within the detection range of ±60 degrees, both the “human presence trigger” and “human presence maintenance” functions work very well.

I’m not sure whether you’re facing difficulties with the trigger function or experiencing failures in the human presence maintenance function. Regardless, I recommend adjusting the radar to cover the main detection area. Good luck!
