I’m curious, does anyone know how both sensors could be used in combination? For example, might the passive IR be quicker to react but the RF sensor be better at noticing people are still there? Will we be able to blend them as one sensor or do they only show up as distinct sensors?
Basically, trying to understand how I might best utilize them. I’m guessing this info is out there and I just missed it? (Flame away if I did)

I would imagine that you will be able to trigger off both so you enter the room and the motion sensor triggers and then a second or two later the MMWave triggers and stays live until you leave so on entry trigger on motion and leaving clear on MMWave

Yeah exactly, I’ve currenrly got PIR sensors to turn on lights etc then mmwave for off. It will be amazing to actually have them both in 1 sensor!

I am using a couple of Xiaomi Human Presence Sensor XMOSB01XS which have both in one sensor, they look like the FP300 and have motion, MMWave and lux BUT are a right pain to setup in Home Assistant as they are bluetooth and you have to jump through hoops to get the code required for them to work so the Aqara FP300 being either Zigbee or matter will make the whole process much easier to install, only bought the Xiaomi’s because the FP300 has taken so long to arrive.
