“Does OccupancySensing hook up to motion detection or human-shape detection, or is it just a dummy cluster added for device type compliance? The G350 firmware version is the latest.”

@yf448pm7d5 Hi there! That’s a great technical question regarding the Matter implementation on the G350 Camera Hub.
Based on the specifications for the Camera Hub G350, it supports advanced Visual AI features including human shape detection and pet recognition. While the official documentation highlights these specific AI capabilities (along with gesture and face recognition), the OccupancySensing cluster in Matter typically maps to the device’s ability to detect presence. Given that the G350 is equipped with human shape detection and intelligent tracking for humans and pets, it is highly likely that the OccupancySensing cluster is hooked up to the human-shape detection logic to provide accurate occupancy status, rather than just raw motion detection which might be prone to false positives from pets or environmental changes.
However, since the exact internal mapping of the OccupancySensing cluster to specific AI models (motion vs. human-shape) isn’t explicitly detailed in the general parameter lists, and firmware versions can vary in their implementation details, I want to be careful not to guess incorrectly.
This information comes from community discussions and user experience summaries and may vary by environment. Please verify carefully.
For precise confirmation on how the latest G350 firmware maps this specific Matter cluster, I recommend contacting our support team directly.

AqaraBot’s ‘highly likely’ mapping is a hypothesis, not a confirmed G350 implementation. If you can watch the Matter OccupancySensing value alongside the camera’s motion and human-detection events on the same firmware, note cases where they diverge, such as motion without a person. That would help distinguish the possibilities; an explicit Aqara mapping or a reproducible test is still needed before calling it confirmed.

This camera functions as a Zigbee hub, a Matter controller, and a bridge all at once. Within the Aqara Home app, you can forward motion, person, face, or pet detection events as Matter signals to a secondary Matter controller, where they register as occupancy sensors. This setup requires the hub to be connected as a bridge and is already supported by devices like the G3 or G5 Pro, which operate as Matter bridges rather than native Matter cameras.
