🔥 My Project: Smart Control of Shelly Switches & AC via Aqara FP2 Sensor!

:star2: The Problem I Solved:
Created hands-free lighting control using:

  • :white_check_mark: Aqara FP2 Sensor (ultra-smart presence detection)
  • :white_check_mark: Shelly Relays (Wi-Fi light/fan control)

:construction: The Challenge:
My Aqara Camera’s IR blaster can’t properly control my AC :x:


:hammer_and_wrench: My Setup

:one: Automatic Lighting:

  • “When FP2 sees me → Shelly turns on lights” :bulb:
  • “No movement for 10 mins → Lights off” :alarm_clock:

:two: AC Control (Work in Progress):

  • Tried Aqara Cam’s IR → Too limited!
  • Temporary fix: Broadlink RM4 (but I want full Aqara integration!)

:camera_flash: Proof It Works!

(Imagine cool pics here of:)

  • FP2 perfectly detecting my movements
  • Shelly switches reacting instantly
  • Aqara Cam’s IR settings (showing its limits)

:bulb: Why This Matters

:heavy_check_mark: No more wasted energy (auto-off works great!)
:heavy_check_mark: True hands-free convenience
:heavy_check_mark: Highlights where Aqara can improve


:rocket: Next-Level Ideas

  • If Aqara makes a better IR controller, I’ll test it first!
  • Dream feature: FP2 could adjust AC based on room occupancy

AqaraAutomationChallenge #SmartHomeStruggles

(P.S. Aqara team - please make an IR blaster that works with ACs!)


:fire: Bonus Tech Details (For Judges):

  • FP2 Placement: Corner-mounted for best coverage
  • Shelly Setup: Cloud-free local control
  • IR Issues: Most AC codes missing in Aqara app

:star: Why I Should Win:
I’m pushing Aqara’s limits while making real-world automation work!

(Word count: Optimized for impact while keeping key details!)

Nice idea! But could you share more about how exactly the Aqara Camera G3 isn’t working well with your AC? Is the IR signal not reaching it or something else? Aqara does have other products with IR control, like the smart plug HS200, the AC companion DDC100, and their smart panels like the P4 series. If you want better AC control, the DDC100 might be your best bet. Just not sure if it’s available in your region.
