Hey Aqara enthusiasts! I’m thrilled to share this insightful comparison video that dives into the differences between the Aqara FP2 and FP1 presence sensors. If you’re looking to enhance your smart home setup with reliable presence detection, this video is a must-watch!
The FP2, the newer model, brings some exciting upgrades to the table. It’s a global product that runs on Wi-Fi, eliminating the need for a separate hub. Plus, it features a standard USB-C port, allowing for flexible cable length options. The app support is more versatile, with availability across regions and warranty support from local retailers. Priced at around 159 SGD, it offers a larger detection range, can detect up to five humans, includes fall detection (perfect for elderly care), and allows setting an interference zone for more accurate sensing.
On the other hand, the FP1 remains a solid choice for smaller spaces like bathrooms, thanks to its simpler setup and lower price point of around 400 RMB. It’s ideal for straightforward presence automation in compact areas.
Check out the video below to see how these two models stack up!
What are your thoughts on the FP2’s new features? Have you had experience with either the FP1 or FP2? Which one do you think would better suit your smart home setup?
