This is a great idea!

I would use the sensor to switch on the robot vacuum cleaner in the bedroom when everyone has left the bed and to switch off all the lights. In winter, control the radiators and the dehumidifier.

Planning to automate my living room lights, replace basic motion sensors.

It would be interesting to see if it can replace 2 current PIR sensors I currently use to automate kitchen / living room lights based on occupied zone. Will try with Aqara Camera G5 Pro hub and Home Assistant. I am curious to test possibilitiesā¦

I plan on replacing my FP2 that I have in my bathroom to control the light. Iāll move the FP2 to the kitchen/den area so that I can use the zones feature of the FP2.

Planning to replace kitchen/dinner room PIR for switching lights based on presence/darkness.
If it works well get a 2nd one for current temp/humidity sensor replacement. That one is used to control mechanical ventilation. Then I can also easily automate the light, all with 1 single device. Sounds nearly to good to be true

Mainly for light controls in my Home, by I Will for sure investigate other possibilities also

Itās funny that some people want to create zones on the FP300, even though Aqara hasnāt even confirmed that this sensor has this feature.
Considering that the device is battery-operated and has to be very efficient, I suspect it wonāt support zones.
As I mentioned in another post, I suspect the new FP300 will be more like an FP2 Light. No cable, no zones, but temperature and humidity are included.

Eventually I want to get 4.
1: to turn a fan on or off when my wife is in the livingroom watching TV - so she doesnāt turn the AC down more.
2: in the bedroom to turn the Dreo fan on when we (or the dogs) are in bed - and off when nobody is left in the room.
3+4. In my office (front is walled off with 3 32" monitors) to keep the lights on when Iām there and off when Iām not. It will also allow me to get rid of timers and automations in Home Assistant, and my bypass switch to keep the lights on even without motion and off if my dogs are in there when we go out somewhere.

I have automated 5 rooms with the current FP1e and it keeps the lights on as long as IĀ“m in the room. Unfortunately the FP1e does not contain a light sensor anymore (compared to the FP2), so I have added 5 T1 light sensors for this purpose. It all works pretty well.
I have one room though where I cannot get it to work: my bathroom. While I could solve this in my guest toilet room by grabbing the electrical power from behind the mirror, this would not work for my bathroom. The problem is that when I take a shower, I will be out of reach of the sensor and will end up standing in the dark. A position on the ceiling at the edge of the shower would solve this, but I cannot get electricity there without ugly cables across the ceiling. So the FP300 would exactly close this gap and would solve the remaining problem of my house automation.
As we are talking about the bathroom, the humidity sensor could come into play. We will be installing a new window soon with electrical operation, so depending in the humidity inside the room, I could trigger the window to open - or to close when the humidity is back to normal.

I will replace it with my 4 fail p1 motion sensor , I hope to resolve all the ghost fail alerts and work well if the temps inside the house is under 30 Celsius ā¦

I keep re-imagining, lucky influencers who get 5+ of these. I could use 1 in my family room, 1 in my dining room, 1 in my garage, one in the entryway, 1 in all 3 bedrooms and closets, 1 in the laundry room, 1 in the upstairs hallway, 1 on the stairs, 2 on the basement stairs, [MUCH harder to cover because theyāre closed in & both have 2 landings], 1 for the kitchen, several to cover the basement, and something outdoor for both patios, and an outdoor of the deck. I think I will pick the main stairs as they have NO outlets and pose the greatest safety risk (after trying out a ton of places).
As a disabled person (married to a disabled person), Iāve long thought about starting a channel about where disability and home automation meet. Unfortunately, Iāve already installed the smart home products that I own and since I donāt have a following, no one is going to give away product to me.

Light Automation for my living room and kitcheb

bit unorthodox, but I hardwire my temp sensors even when they are battery powered and put them in my smoke detectors. I can replace my existing ones with fp300s to add presence automation for lights and thermostat control.

Automate the lightning our living, dining and outdoor veranda areas. Currently wiring in a sensor is difficult and the other half doesnāt like trailing wires, and if I admit it nor do I. So I will be able to achieve the automation from one sensor which I am currently doing from 2 sensors and not seem less, you could say a bit clunky.

I have moved my bedroom where I had FP2 sensor. It stayed there as it is my office now 
So now I need something else to automate my new bedroom which is right now the only room that has manual lights.

I plan to automate my office lights. I feel like the aqara motion sensor works just fine for the hallway but motion sensors alone arenāt really adequate when it comes to detecting whether or not someone is currently in a room as many activities involve sitting. As many others have said, Iām also a Home Assistant user. Aqara integrates so seamlessly with HA. Itās my favorite HA integration I have honestly.

The FP300 will come in handy in bathrooms. At least here in the US where outlets are precious due to electrical code and being in a room that could easily back up with water.
