I have an Aqara Presence sensor that is monitoring almost whole main floor (open floor plan) and it is automating the turning on of my lights for the main area of the house. I haven’t had to touch a light switch in so long. I just walk/sit in a room and the lights for that room are being turned on. They automatically turn off after a set amount of time for each of the rooms individually. My main automation software is Home Assistant and the automation is set up there. It’s also set up to reference the light sensor so the lights don’t even need to turn on if it’s already bright enough in the room with the sensor.

I am really eager to try the FP300 sensor; it is exactly what I have been waiting for, as it brings together everything I need in a single device. Additionally, it is compatible with Zigbee and Matter.

I’m also ready to go with a Zigbee controller and not having to add another item on WiFi is getting to be incredibly important (although my network can handle it).
Better not to overload the Wi-Fi, haha
