I’m excited to share Pablo Vargas’ latest update on his experience with the Aqara FP2 Presence Sensor. After two months of testing, Pablo provides valuable insights into overcoming initial challenges and achieving reliable automation in his studio. This video is a must-watch for anyone working with presence sensors or integrating multiple smart home platforms.
Pablo initially faced issues with the FP2 sensor detecting ‘ghosts,’ causing lights to stay on unnecessarily. Through adjusting detection zones, particularly around a light stand and doorway, he achieved more reliable performance. However, occasional false negatives occurred, likely due to equipment movement. Additionally, Pablo explored integrating Alexa and HomeKit, highlighting the challenge of syncing changes across platforms.
