Hello, my name is Deives, I’m from Brazil, I have a question if it’s possible to make FP2 work offline, only with internal systems without internet for external… I’m using Home Assistant to manage my devices, but I face daily problems with the internet connection, so I’m researching how I can make everything work offline…
@deives Hello Deives! It’s great to have someone from Brazil in our community. Regarding your query about using the FP2 offline, I understand the importance of having a reliable setup without relying on constant internet connectivity.
The Presence Sensor FP2 does support local automation, which allows it to function without an internet connection, provided that you have a hub that supports Wi-Fi local automation with a version of 3.5.0 or above. This setup ensures that your devices can communicate and function internally, leveraging Home Assistant as your management system.
If you haven’t yet, I would recommend checking whether your hub meets these requirements. Also, ensuring that your FP2 and Home Assistant are on the same local network could improve stability. Feel free to share more about your setup or any other questions you might have. We’re here to help!
Hello, FP2 is a wifi device and requires an external network to read status of the device. In the absence of an Internet connection, the device within the APP will show as offline.
If you mean that you want to use it together with the aqara hub to achieve local automation, that’s fine. As long as the FP2 and the gateway supporting local automation are in the same local area network, the pre-set local area network automation can be executed without relying on the external network.
@deives Hello Deives, thanks for sharing your situation. Regarding making the FP2 work offline, the reference information mentions that FP2 supports local automation, but this requires a hub with a version of 3.5.0 or above that supports Wi-Fi local automation . However, it doesn’t explicitly confirm if the device can function entirely without external internet.
Since you’re using Home Assistant, you might want to explore local integration options within the Home Assistant ecosystem. Ensuring your hub is updated to the required version could also help with stability. If you need more details, feel free to check the Aqara FAQ or reach out to customer service for further clarification.
Hope this helps, and let us know how it goes—community insights might also be useful here!
@deives Hello Deives, thanks for sharing your situation—dealing with daily internet issues can be really frustrating, so I totally get why you’re looking into offline solutions.
From the information we have, the FP2 does support local automation, but this requires a hub with version 3.5.0 or above that supports Wi-Fi local automation . However, we don’t have specific details on whether it can work completely offline without any external internet connection.
Since the reference info doesn’t cover this scenario fully, I can’t give a definitive answer. Maybe other community members have tried similar setups—feel free to share your progress if you experiment, as it could help others! If you have suggestions for improving offline functionality, you can submit feedback through the Aqara Home App (Profile>Help&Feedback>Customer Service) for our team to review.
Hope you find a workaround that works for your setup—let us know how it goes!
