First Batch Early Bird Feedback Collection for Multi-state Sensor P100

[MakerMing]

Hello fellow early bird community members!

I’m Ming Wen (@Makerming), Product Manager for the Aqara Multi-State Sensor P100. Now that the sign-up for our early bird program has closed, all successful applicants will be receiving your new devices soon, and our team is incredibly excited for your first hands-on experience and valuable feedback!

As an innovative sensing product our team has refined with great care, the P100 was designed to solve the industry pain points of traditional two-piece door and window sensors—such as restrictive installation, tedious calibration, and limited adaptability . If you add the device to the Aqara Home App via the Zigbee protocol with your Aqara Hub, you can even unlock the “Item Guardian Mode”, transforming it into a multi-functional vibration sensor, it can detect a variety of actions including vibration, movement, falling, and triple knocks. Unleash more creative use cases and build your personalized smart experience below👇

Recommended Versatile Use Scenarios

1. Whole Home Door & Window Smart Automation🪟: Install on combined doors and windows in the living room, bedroom, balcony, etc. When a window is opened or tilted for ventilation, it automatically triggers the air conditioner/air ventilator to turn off; the entrance light turns on instantly when the front door is opened, and indoor ventilation devices adjust automatically for tilted ventilation—creating a seamless smart living experience.

2. Valuables Security Protection💎: Attach to safes, art pieces, jewelry boxes, milk powder cans, and other items, and enable Item Guardian Mode. You’ll receive an instant phone alert if any abnormal movement, vibration, or falling is detected, keeping your valuables safe whether you’re at home or away.

3. Smart Daily Activity Tracking📝: Install on water cups and medicine boxes to automatically record the time and frequency of drinking and medication intake, generating visual trend charts. Attach to baby bottles to log feeding actions, and set custom delayed reminders (e.g., a reminder for the next feeding 3 hours after the last one) for thoughtful family care.

4. Smart Home Appliance Monitoring🔌: Stick on hinge-equipped home appliances like refrigerators, disinfection cabinets, and toilet seats to accurately detect open/close status—preventing energy waste from an unclosed fridge door. It also monitors for unexpected movement of appliances, safeguarding home usage safety.

5. Personalized Fun Automation🎨: Leverage action recognition features (triple knocks, vibration, etc.) in Zigbee mode to create exclusive smart commands, such as triple-knocking a table to turn on the lights. Track refrigerator door opening times and set over-limit reminders to develop energy-saving habits; you can even monitor the opening of kids’ snack boxes for personalized scene automation.

Thoughtful Interactive Experience Highlights

Beyond core detection functions, the P100 features multiple upgrades in user interaction and data feedback, making smart sensing more intuitive and human-centric👇

Detailed Logs & Trend Charts: Clearly display the time, type, and duration of each event for at-a-glance status changes;

Static Duration Tracking: Real-time display of the number of days an item has remained safe since the last abnormal event, delivering tangible security and peace of mind;

Customizable Automation Rules: Tailor rules for refrigerator door opening statistics, kids’ activity monitoring, home energy-saving reminders, and more to build your exclusive smart scenes.

As the early bird is a refinement period before the final commercial release, the product’s functions and experience are currently in continuous iteration and optimization, minor glitches in details may occur during use. The core goal of this early bird program is to leverage the professional perspectives of our core community users to validate the product experience and identify potential issues in advance.

Can’t wait, Zigbee protocol sounds full featured. This sensor could be the 2026 sensor of the year.

It also reads like I’m going to need to buy several.

I hope Aqara is preparing all the production robots to work 24/7.

[siobhanellis]

I got my P100 the other day.

I’ve started by connecting via Matter and doing something simple such as sticking on my front door.

It is my intention to go more complex.

Initial thoughts. For the documentation about rights etc, do what other vendors do which is insert a piece of paper with a QR code. No need to waste all that paper with writing so tiny I can’t even read it.

I found that I had to “click the button 3 times” multiple times before it would work, even after doing the firmware upgrade.

When I did get the device, via Matter, into Aqara Home the process of adding it to Apple Home was flawless.

I received mine the other day. Currently using it to monitor a cabinet door where we keep meds. I have it on matter/thread and will test a bit this way. Then will switch to zigbee to try item guardian.

[night420hawk]

Just got mine yesterday still busy might be a few days till i can play with it tho as my job and kids are always my focus latley but stay tuned im thinking up a really good senerio to use it for first in the meantime but im sure everyone will lile the new sensor its very unique and versitile compared to the vibration/ tilt ones stay tuned yall i will try to get it in by the weekend if i have free time hope everyone else is loving thiers asweel tho aqara is pretty much tje top pf the leage in smart home platforms just need a bigger product catalog but they will get their eventually lol

Aqara presents its new P100 sensor, a multi-sensor that aims to be more than just a standard door/window contact.

Let’s see if it lives up to the hype.

Important note at the outset: the device provided by Aqara is a pre-production model! Aqara also strongly recommends updating to the latest software version, which, as of today, means:

Thread v1.0.0.2
Zigbee: v0.0.0_0021

Important note regarding the Zigbee wireless protocol:

Currently, a Zigbee connection can only be established using the M3 or M200 hub!

First impression:

Packaging and feel are, as always, of the typically high quality of aqara products and leave nothing to be desired:

It’s nice to see that two replacement adhesive strips are included.

Dimensions in centimeters (approximate):

Length: 45 mm
Width: 30 mm
Height: 12 mm

Matter over Thread:

Aqara Ecosystem:

As requested by Aqara, I first paired the sensor with the Aqara system using an iPad. This worked immediately, as the device was recognized right after removing the battery cap. Scan the QR code, and you’re done.

First, the sensor is recognized and configured as a simple door/window sensor. The supported window types are explained visually.

After the software update, the sensitivity can be adjusted in several steps from 1 to 10.

Previously, only the default settings “small,” “medium,” and “large” were available.

Minor translation error for German: it should say “Closed” here, as with the Aqara Door&Window Sensor.

Apple Home:

When exported to Apple Home via the Aqara app, the sensor is displayed as a regular door/window sensor and shown with the corresponding options.

Homeassistant via Matter:

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to integrate the sensor into any other ecosystem available to me. This means I couldn’t test it with Google Home or IKEA Home via Thread. There seem to be significant issues with multi-administration using Matter, and I haven’t yet been able to determine whether the problem lies with my Thread network or the device itself. The device is initially detected by Google Home, but then fails at the next stage of the process.

Restarting my pairing devices (iPad and Samsung phone) and resetting the device (pressing the button for 10 seconds) unfortunately didn’t help. It also makes no difference whether I use the “Pairing Mode” from the Aqara app or work directly with the printed code on the device.

Since I also have a few Aqara lights that I manage via Matter in the various ecosystems, I suspect the problem lies with the device in combination with my setup here.

I will revisit this issue when I have the time.

Zigbee via Aqara M3 Hub:

After resetting the sensor (by holding the button on top for 10 seconds), you can re-pair it and then switch from Thread to Zigbee via the familiar setup screen.

Uploading the Zigbee software via Bluetooth from the selected device is quick and easy. Some users reported initial problems with the FP300 when switching protocols, but I definitely cannot confirm this with the P100!

After setup, you have to choose how the sensor should operate, and this is where we see the difference compared to the Thread protocol. While the sensor can function as a simple door/window sensor in Thread mode, here we have the option to select other modes.

This strategy from Aqara is continued here, and I can certainly understand it. Some functions provided via Zigbee are either not yet relevant or not yet available with Matter.

The following triggers can be used for automations in the Aqara app:

Apple Home configured as “Ausrichtung” in Aqara:

Configured as a window sensor:

It’s important to understand that the export options available depend on how the sensor is configured in the Aqara app.

Listing all the possibilities here would definitely be beyond the scope of this explanation.

My current configuration in Home Assistant looks like this:

Google Home is currently conspicuously absent from my setup. It seems multi-sensor support isn’t available.

Preliminary conclusion:

With the P100 sensor, Aqara has introduced a sensor that, to my knowledge, is unique on the market.

In Thread mode (Matter), it’s currently only recognized as a standard window/sensor. Its size offers numerous application possibilities, and once the white version is released, it will be less noticeable on a window. Multi-admin and Google Home are still causing me some issues, but since the sensor is still in beta, I can forgive this for now.

However, in Zigbee mode, integrated via an Aqara Hub (currently only the M3 and M200 are supported), the sensor unlocks its full potential, which can be almost overwhelming. So many possibilities and applications to explore!

I currently have the sensor mounted on my height-adjustable desk and am experimenting with automating the lighting when the desk’s height changes.

When I have a chance, I’ll also reset the sensor and try integrating it directly into Google Home and/or IKEA Home via a thread.

I’ll keep you updated and hope you enjoyed my preliminary review.

Recibido y contento! Desde Aqara App funciona perfectamente tanto en modo zigbee como thread…
El único problema que encontrado es agregarlo a Apple Home… no he encontrado la forma… da error… seguiré investigando.
Tengo iOS 26.3
Central de accesorios Apple TV 4k

SOLUCIÓN: Reiniciando el iPhone, se agregó a Apple Home a la primera

[ryan18]

It is definitely a lot smaller than I was expecting but it is very responsive. I currently have it connected to my M3 hub with zigbee but I’m also using it with home assistant through the M3’s matter connection and has been working well only thing is home assistant see it as a button and when vibration is detected it shows as a button press.

[rip_moon_0p]

Finally got mine today, and it looks great, also nice to have some extra stickers in the box.

Pairing experience is perfectly smooth, as it is usually with the recent Aqara devices. While pairing, you can choose which protocol to use and the app shows you all you can do with it. Zigbee offers more at the moment.

Once connected and attached I had a very weird delay between the states visible in the app, it took a few seconds to update between Opened/Closed states. I’ve tried to recalibrate it a couple of times using the instructions from the manual by holding the button and it seems it worked well.
Once I created my automation it worked out very well immediately in combination with M3 Hub.
Now my warning alert automation is set for the snack-shelf after 21:00.

Will see how it works over the next couple of days, but so far, very cool sensor and overall experience.

[EricC]

Disappointed with my first impression; it’s impossible to set up its detection capabilities in Home Assistant.

[Romansk]

P100

I installed a sensor on the garage door.

Installed Zigbee protocol
Can start testing …
Multi-State-Sensor-P100

[night420hawk]

I cant seem to get the automation to set up for my sons toybox it doesent seem too wanna work the way i want here are some screenshots if anyone has any input… Multi-State-Sensor-P100

[Caroline_Zzz]

Would love to see you post a more detailed topic and show how it works!

[MakerMing]

Thank you very much for your advice. We put the detailed user manual in the electronic manual scanned by QR code, but due to the need of safety certification, we must put a paper safety manual. Sorry for the reading difficulty caused by the small size limitation of sensor packaging. Regarding the need to click three times to work normally, can you describe the specific difficulties in detail? According to the normal process, click three times to complete the calibration after installation in the network and you can start using it. If the calibration is not realized, it may be the problem of connecting with the gateway, but I still look forward to more information from you so that we can locate the reason.

[MakerMing]

Hi, “Open/Close detection” is supported by Thread protocol and could add to Home Assistant directly. “Object Status Monitoring” mode is only available in Zigbee protocol, and if you would need to use these functions, you could try to add to Aqara Home first and bridge it to Home Assistant.

[jrico742680]

So it only works thru the thread protocol? Because I wanted to set it up thru zigbee and it doesn’t let me pair the device

[MakerMing]

You could use zigbee, just make sure you are using Hub M3 and has the latest firmware version up to 4.5.30. More Hubs will be supported soon
