So, when I read about this, I thought, instantly, do I have 50 points (likes, replies), then I thought about it more.

Is this worthwhile FOR ME? I’m interested in the mmWave sensor only. If you only look at the mmWave, is it useful (compared to a Zigbee mmWave from AliExpress or Temu)?

@matreseha When considering whether the FP2 Presence Sensor is worthwhile for you, especially focusing on its mmWave capabilities, it’s important to note that the FP2 utilizes mmWave technology for highly accurate detection of human presence. This technology allows the sensor to detect presence, absence, falls, and even subtle movements, offering features like multi-target tracking, light detection, and sleep monitoring.

Compared to typical Zigbee mmWave sensors you might find on platforms like AliExpress or Temu, the FP2 offers several advantages:

  • Advanced Detection: The FP2 can track up to 5 targets, with optimal performance for up to 3 people. This multi-target tracking is not always available in basic Zigbee sensors.
  • Integration and Automation: It supports integration with major platforms like HomeKit, Google, Alexa, and Home Assistant, facilitating a wide range of automation scenarios.
  • Precision: The FP2 provides more precise detection zones, allowing for up to 30 configurable zones, which can enhance automation setups.

However, if your interest lies solely in basic mmWave capabilities without the need for these advanced features, a simpler and potentially less expensive Zigbee mmWave sensor might suffice. It ultimately depends on your specific needs and the level of functionality you desire in your smart home setup. If you’re looking for advanced features and seamless integration, the FP2 could be a worthwhile investment.

@matreseha No sensor is perfect, even mmWave suffer from reflections, causing it to sense a person in the near by room.
So the aditional PIR sensor helps in reducing these false sensing. In my setup I have several sensors, that may cross paths.
