My living room is quite large and a single FP2 is not covering the entire room. If I add a second FP2 it creates its own map; while it should be a second source. Is there any solution to this?

@0dorpel_savanne In situations where a single FP2 sensor doesn’t cover your entire living room, adding a second FP2 can indeed result in each device creating its own map. While the reference information doesn’t provide a specific solution for merging maps from multiple FP2s, it does emphasize that the FP2 supports tracking up to 5 targets, which might help in managing different areas within a large space.
Here are a few steps you might consider:
-
Strategic Placement: Make sure each FP2 is positioned optimally to maximize coverage within its range. This might involve placing them at different heights or angles to minimize overlap and ensure comprehensive coverage.
-
Zone Configuration: Utilize the detection zone feature to define specific areas within the room for each sensor. This can help in managing the automation and detection more effectively.
-
Local Automation: If you have a compatible hub that supports Wi-Fi local automation, you can create automation rules that leverage data from both FP2s, enhancing the integration between them.
Although the current technology doesn’t allow for a direct merge of the maps, these approaches can help you achieve better coverage and functionality in a large room. If others in the community have faced similar challenges, sharing experiences could lead to innovative solutions. Feel free to join the discussion and explore more ideas!

@0dorpel_savanne Sorry to hear you’re facing challenges with covering your large living room using multiple FP2s. Currently, the reference information doesn’t provide specific details on combining maps from multiple FP2s to function as a single source.
You might want to connect with other community members—sometimes shared experiences can offer practical workarounds! If you have suggestions for improving this functionality, feel free to submit feedback through the Aqara Home App (Profile>Help&Feedback>Customer Service) for more personalized support.
Hope you find a smooth solution to cover your space effectively!
@0dorpel_savanne It’s great that you’re looking to extend coverage in your large living room with a second FP2! From the available information, multiple FP2s in the same space generally won’t interfere with each other if they’re not directly facing each other, allowing them to operate simultaneously in various modes . However, the reference information doesn’t specifically address merging their maps or having them function as a single combined source.
If you’re looking to integrate their coverage more seamlessly, you might want to experiment with positioning—ensuring they’re placed to cover overlapping or complementary areas. For further guidance on this specific scenario, feel free to reach out to the Customer Service Team via the Aqara Home App (Profile>Help&Feedback>Customer Service) or by clicking here to create a ticket.
