Would the FP2 work well in a hot garage? I live in a very hot climate and would like to automate some things in my garage with the FP2. Our summers can get up to 120 F.
@brian3 The Presence Sensor FP2 is designed to operate within a temperature range of -10 to 40°C (14 to 104°F), as per the provided reference information. Given that your garage can reach temperatures as high as 120°F, it would exceed the recommended operating temperature. This might affect the sensor’s performance or even cause damage over time.
I recommend exploring alternative solutions or ensuring adequate cooling measures are in place to maintain a temperature within the specified range. Feel free to share your thoughts or experiences, and perhaps other community members might have creative solutions or similar experiences to share!
@brian3 The operating temperature of the Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 is -10-40℃ (14-104°F) . Your garage’s summer temperature of 120°F exceeds this range, which may impact the sensor’s performance. You could consider monitoring the actual temperature in the garage to see if it stays within the recommended range. If you decide to try it, feel free to share your experience with the community—we’d love to hear how it works for you!

@brian3 The operating temperature of the Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 is -10-40℃ (which converts to 14-104°F) . Since your garage can reach up to 120°F in summer, which exceeds the maximum operating temperature, the FP2 may not work optimally in such conditions. It’s worth considering this temperature limit when planning your automation setup.
If you’re set on using the FP2 in the garage, maybe you could explore ways to reduce the ambient temperature (like adding ventilation) to keep it within the 104°F threshold. Have you thought about specific automations you want to set up? Sharing more details might help the community brainstorm solutions!
