Excerpt: "Having used the FP1, Fp2, and the FP1E, it’s fair to say I’m familiar with Aqara’s range of presence sensors. What has come as a surprise is the announcement today at CES 2025, of the FP300, which combines PIR and millimetre wave (mmWave) sensing technologies to deliver both accurate and responsive motion/presence detection. Designed as one of the first battery-operated presence sensors available to date, it offers a battery life of up to two years. Its compact, wireless design allows for flexible placement throughout the home, especially now that it can be installed wire-free.
With built-in Thread and Zigbee support, the FP300 is Matter-enabled, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of platforms. In addition to presence detection, it features independent light, temperature, and humidity sensors, providing comprehensive, basic sensor coverage."
