I’ve been trying to get a hold of the FP300 for a few months now with no luck and wondering if I should just wait for the FP400. Is the FP400 a direct successor to the 300 or is it replacing one of the wired products?
No, it’s the newer version of the FP2 and the main difference is the FP400 will have Matter and Thread features vs Wifi only.
Hope that helps?
Thanks for clarifying!
Is that really going to be the main difference? Not improved sensors, accuracy, etc?
No, there are several improvements or additional features. I don’t have the complete list at my fingertips at the moment.
They were posted at the Aqara CES event.
- Multi-person spatial awareness: The FP400 uses mmWave radar and AI to detect multiple occupants in a room and track their movement in real time — including headcount and dwell analytics like how long people stay and how far they walk.
- Posture detection: Unlike earlier presence sensors, it can distinguish whether someone is standing, sitting, or lying down
Real-time analytics: It provides live person tracking , not just simple motion or occupancy — enabling richer automations and insights for both residential and commercial use
Spatial automation triggers: Because it delivers granular data (position, posture, counts), users can build advanced automations — for example, adjusting lights or thermostat based on whether someone is seated vs. lying down
Hope that helps?
That’s super helpful! Excited for the posture tracking - only turn the lights on when someone is sitting at the dining room table. That would be amazing.
Another main differnce between the FP300 and FP400:
- FP300 Batterie powered
- FP400 Cabel (as the FP2)
Yup, now if only we knew when the FP300 will be back in stock.
I wonder when the FP 400 is coming out as well.
There’s no official release date yet … but please stay tuned ![]()
Could not agree more ![]()
I too have been waiting months for the fp300. Kind of just given up.
I hope having it in thread mode isn’t handicapped with configurations like with the FP300
They are back in stock at Amazon.
Aqara would make a ton of money if they could make a product that could replace apartment style night latch rim locks.

The Fp400 is the successor of the FP2 (zones,etc)…thread instead of wifi and among other improvements it takes into account the height of the room. Imo if you don’t need it immediately, just wait a little bit
Any update on when we may see the FP400?
Also, I see people here mention it will have Thread / Matter compatibility, but does anyone know if it will have Zigbee integration like much of the Aqara arsenal?
I don’t know about a release date but I’m looking forward to it as well!
The FP400 comes with dual protocol support: matter over thread and Zigbee.
