I have my FP2 set up in my dining room so that when anyone enters the lights and the lights above my bar turn on using Home Assistant. It usually takes 2 to 3 seconds of someone entering before the lights turn on. Any idea how I can increase sensitivity to make the lights work I do have it set up to only work in the dining room area and I verified that even one step outside of the area, the lights do go off.

I have also integrated the FP2 via HA via the Apple bridge and it works great. When someone enters the room, the light is immediately turned on without any delay.
We’d have to see how you use the integration.

What does HA say? Does it see it right away? My FP2 is instant in HA but the WiFi Tapo switches take 1/3 of a second to turn on when lights are dim but instant when brightness is over 30%

Same issue I’m facing, but mine is connected directly to Aqara M3 hub and controlling both Aqara lights and wall switch.

The same setup (HA+Apple bridge+FP2), but I don’t have the delay either. I suggest checking logbook or automation traces for timing to see where the delay happens.

Actually have often the same issue, with the hub M3.
Would be interested if this can be optimized.

How are you connected to Home Assistant? I’m using HomeKit to connect and see <1 sec response times. I use a simple automation in Node Red to control room lights.

I am using the Aqara integration from HACS. I don’t think it’s the HA it’s how slow the detection happens. When I watch the app it doesn’t change to presence detected for several seconds.
Does the HACS integration rely on the Aqara cloud account? This could slow it down. From what I understand, the HomeKit will keep everything local and my speed it up. It’s worth a test.
Hhhhh
