@Aqara_water Thank you for reaching out with your question about the Aqara Motion and Light Sensor P2. Based on the current information available, the motion time interval for this sensor is set at a minimum of 1 minute, as stated in the reference here. Unfortunately, there isn’t any specific information about a firmware update that would allow you to set the motion time interval to less than one minute.
I understand this might not be the answer you were hoping for, but rest assured, the Aqara team is continuously working on enhancing device functionalities based on user feedback. I encourage you to keep an eye on official updates or participate in community discussions for any future developments. If you have further questions or insights, feel free to share them here!

In my opinion there will be no firmware update for P2.

Not alone it is not possible to set the interval, it is not either possible to set sensitivity or detection angle even though its in the promotional material.
Unfortunately this sensor far underperform the promised specs on all fronts.
Found this post on the Aqara subreddit confirming an August 2025 firmware update for the P2 motion-lux sensor.

How can this update be applied without using an Aqara hub? I have several P2 motion-lux sensors that I am using via Apple Home but I can’t seem to find a way to update without first linking the P2s to an Aqara hub.
Probably using Home Assistant since Aqara has published the Matter OTA URL. For that you can launch a virtual machine, “share” the device to HA, update it and then you may even remove it from HA so it doesn’t waste extra battery life trying to communicate to two Matter controllers. A bit cumbersome but doable.
Would be nice to know if the update is available in other platforms like Google Home or SmartThings too.
Also, for integration purposes, what are the new attributes and supported values they’ve added?
Interesting, I noticed a few days back HA showed firmware updates for my P2 sensors and when I checked the Aqara app it showed nothing available and still on an older build. So I updated them all using HA and when done went back into the Aqara app and they did reflect the updated firmware. I guess I just let it go and didn’t think much more about it. I do see now I can change the “Absence Delay Time” which I don’t recall if it was always an option or if it’s new? I’ve never dug into needing to change that setting.
Does anyone know if that’s new or has it always been an option?
Yes, the new features are indeed the Sensitivity and the Absence Delay Timer.
Those should also be available through Matter platforms since they’re presumably standard attributes but so far I believe none provides the user interface to change them.
