Highly variable response time from FP2 - HomeKit

My automations and sensor notifications to the lights respond sometimes very quickly and other times not at all or it appears to not respond for minutes

Specifically, this morning, I had one sensor I did not respond. The first time I walked in the room. I came back three minutes later I walked in and the sensor tripped the lights as expected.

As I sat down to make a report this morning, I was sitting in the living room in the living room sensor didn’t trip although it showed gray and not blue in the occupancy area of the map. I don’t recall this being active previously the issue is the sensors are not activating when there is presence and turning off early when I’m sitting on the couch even though it’s a high sensitivity setting within the maps.

I’ve also run AI detection on all sensors a number of times in the last day to reset the spaces

HomeKit response rate seems to be less responsive and it’s difficult to blame the sensors although a combination of both is making the system almost unusable

as my partner would say “ why are you sitting in the dark?” and then she’d laugh at me.

I restarted the Home hub the network is stable and strong Wi-Fi. I’ve unplugged unplugged in all the FB 2’s I have four of FP2 sensors

It’s also unusual because some of FP2’s react most instantly while others won’t react at all. same firmware and all have the same home hub.

That means that you are recognised, but not as a person. Is the AI Person Detection feature enabled or disabled?

But the points shown on the map are in the right place? Had the sensors on the magnetic metal plate been accidentally moved during cleaning? This happened to me unfortunately. The presence detection suddenly became alarmingly poor, even though the shift on the map was barely noticeable.

Have you made any changes recently? For example, have you upgraded from Automation 1.0 to 2.0?

By the way, if the lights don’t turn off automatically, you can create a scene in the Aqara app that tells the FP2 that nobody is in the zone. You can then use this scene in automations or trigger it via Siri.
