I’m from Germany and have a slightly escalated smart home.
I love tinkering around and trying out new products. The Multi-State Sensor P100 immediately caught my interest when it was presented because it offers so many possibilities and I’d like to try it out in different scenarios in my home, e.g. for notifications about the letterbox, presence detection, etc…
I’d like to try the p100. Use cases include monitoring my mailbox and tapping my shelf on the way out/in to turn off or on all my lights connected to my aqara hub
I would love to join and test this. I am the United States/Seattle.
I would put this on my guitar case, when it’s opened my room would enter creative mode, music and tv volume off, lights on my practice chair and music stand, other lights dim into purple and red background, phone turns to do not disturb.
I am in the US. I have several ideas: putting it on my dog’s bed to know if she’s resting and putting on my washing machine or dryer to monitor if they are done.
I’m in the USA. I think one cool way to use this is with cars or something. I’m wondering if the close/open tracking could be used to detect when my car is parked in the right spot in the garage and then change the color of the lights when it’s correct or something
I’m from Germany and I would be very interested in participating in the Exclusive Trial program for the Aqara Multi-State Sensor P100.
My main use case would be monitoring a balcony sliding door (open / closed / partially open state), where a standard door sensor is not sufficient. In addition, I am considering using the sensor for mailbox monitoring to reliably detect different states instead of just simple open/close events.
I am an active Home Assistant user and would be happy to provide feedback based on real-world usage.
I have been frustrated with many sensors currently on the market, as they lack specialized functionality for more advanced use cases and I’m really looking forward to this device .
I would use the sensor for flexitime tracking to document my working hours. It’s also suitable for monitoring a bicycle. A creative doorbell could also be made with it. Wind detection for an awning is another option. A sensor with endless possibilities.
Hi everybody. I’m Mike from Bulgaria, but now I live in Arhens, Greece. I have different aqara devices, connected not only to aqara hub, but to Alexa and Home Assistant. I have many automations with different sensors, but I still don’t have Presense sensor. Maybe in near future.
Hi, I’d be really interested in trying it !
I’m from Italy and I’d place the P100 on our baby safety gate at the stairs. Using vibration or movement detection, I can get instant alerts if the gate is shaken, bumped, or accidentally left unsecured, adding an extra layer of safety beyond just “open/close” detection.
I would love to participate in the P100 trial.
Location: United States.
I have been wanting to create an automation like this for a long time, because I have forgotten to take my medication in the past. I like the idea of a reminder system that is based on real interaction, not just a timer, so it actually confirms I opened my medicine case.
One use case I am especially excited about is medication adherence using the P100 attached to my weekly medicine case (which holds 7 daily cases). The multi state detection and orientation sensing make this sensor a great fit for this scenario.
The idea is to use the P100 in orientation or movement detection mode to confirm when the medicine case has actually been opened or tilted, rather than just relying on time based reminders. This allows the system to verify real interaction with the case.
Here is how I would use it with Home Assistant:
1. At a scheduled medication time, Home Assistant checks whether the P100 has detected a tilt or orientation change within a defined window. 2. If no movement is detected, Home Assistant sends a reminder notification. 3. The reminder repeats every 15 minutes until the P100 detects a valid orientation change, confirming the medicine case was opened. 4. If I am not home at the scheduled time, the system pauses alerts and instead triggers a reminder immediately when I return home, then continues reminders until the case is opened. 5. Once the P100 reports movement or orientation change, all alerts stop automatically and the system resets for the next scheduled dose.
This automation will uses the P100 strengths such as orientation detection, vibration or movement sensing, and reliable state reporting, while avoiding false positives that can happen with simple door sensors or timers. It also creates a more human friendly and reliable reminder system that adapts to real behavior instead of just the clock.
If I am selected for the trial, I will post my full automation setup in the Aqara community forum with videos and pictures, so other people who have forgotten to take their medication in the past can duplicate it and improve it for their own routines.
