Aqara FP300 with Home Assistant (ZHA): weeks of real-world use

Hi @npagonis73,

first thing I’d clarify is how the FP300 is integrated:

  • Matter or Zigbee?
  • If Zigbee: zigbee2mqtt (z2m) or ZHA?

I’m using the FP300 via Zigbee with ZHA (same general behavior with z2m). I’m running mostly default settings. The only change I made is:

  • Adaptive Sensitivity: ON (so it can adapt to the room over time)

One more important step: after setup, make sure to run “Spatial Learning” to “train” the room. That had a noticeable impact on reliability for me.

When you say it was “never reliable”, what exactly did you see?

  • Was it false positives (occupied when nobody was there),
  • false negatives (missing presence while you were there),
  • or slow / inconsistent vacancy (stays occupied too long / clears too quickly)?
  • And in which kind of scenario/room did you try it?
