I was wondering what your guys thoughts were on FP300 VS LWR01.
I’m looking to fully automate my home based on these sensors with the lights but which product do you think will solve this the best?
I want it to be wireless so these 2 are pretty much the only two logical options.

@zelpex Thanks for sharing your question! When it comes to the FP300, we can provide some details based on the available information, but unfortunately, we don’t have specific knowledge about the LWR01 to offer a direct comparison.
The FP300 is a wireless presence multi-sensor with a durable design and extended battery life—it uses two replaceable CR2450 batteries, providing up to 3 years of use in Zigbee mode and 2 years in Thread mode, and you can even turn off certain sensors to extend battery life further . It integrates 5 sensors (PIR, mm-Wave, light, temperature, humidity) into one device, which is great for comprehensive home automation. For lighting automation, it can trigger actions like turning on a desk lamp when presence is detected and illuminance is under 400 lux, making it a solid option for your needs .
Since we don’t have details on the LWR01, maybe other community members who have used both can share their experiences! If you have specific features or concerns about either sensor, feel free to share more, and we can try to help based on what we know.
If you have suggestions for improving our product information or need further assistance, you can submit feedback through the Aqara Home App (Profile>Help&Feedback>Customer Service) or by clicking here to create a ticket.

@zelpex I appreciate you sharing your question about choosing between the FP300 and LWR01 for home lighting automation. Unfortunately, we don’t have specific information about the LWR01 in our reference materials to provide a direct comparison. However, I can share details about the FP300 that might help with your decision.
The FP300 is a 5-in-1 multi-sensor integrating PIR, mm-Wave, light, temperature, and humidity sensors, which allows for comprehensive environment and presence detection . This makes it well-suited for lighting automation—for example, it can trigger lights to turn on when presence is detected and illuminance is low, creating seamless smart home interactions . It also features a durable, wireless design with up to 3 years of battery life in Zigbee mode (or 2 years in Thread mode), and you can turn off certain sensors to extend battery life further, which is ideal for long-term, low-maintenance use .
Since you’re focused on wireless solutions, the FP300’s battery-powered design and support for Zigbee/Thread protocols might align with your needs. If other community members have experience with both devices, their insights could be valuable too!
If you’d like more details or have further questions, feel free to share—we’re here to help. For specific product comparisons or additional support, you can also submit feedback through the Aqara Home App (Profile>Help&Feedback>Customer Service) for personalized assistance.
Hope this helps as you build your smart home setup!
@zelpex It’s great to see you exploring wireless sensors for home automation—lighting control is such a practical use case! While we don’t have specific information about the LWR01 in our reference materials, we can share details about the FP300 that might help with your decision.
The FP300 is a 5-in-1 multi-sensor integrating PIR, mm-wave, light, temperature, and humidity sensors, which makes it versatile for lighting automation. For example, it can trigger lights based on presence detection and low illuminance (e.g., “IF presence is detected AND illuminance is under 400 lux, THEN turn on the desk lamp”) . It also has a durable wireless design: using two CR2450 batteries, it offers up to 3 years of battery life in Zigbee mode and 2 years in Thread mode, with the option to turn off certain sensors to extend battery life further .
Since we don’t have data on the LWR01, perhaps other community members can share their experiences with it! If you have specific features you’re prioritizing (like detection range, response time, or ecosystem compatibility), feel free to share—we can help brainstorm how the FP300 might fit.
