For those considering a Presence Detector, I’ve found my Aqara FP2 to be much more useful than the competitor’s product I bought previously.
The only way I could control presence detection with the competitors product was by making rough adjustments to its sensitivity. Thus, I ended up with inconsistent results.
With the FP2, I was able to configure multiple relatively precise dection zones in my living room. So, with just one detector, i am able to control lighting around my couch, recliner, swivel chairs, and piano.

@tvlorsfamily It’s great to hear about your positive experience with the Aqara Presence Sensor FP2—sharing real-world use cases like this is super helpful for the community! Your point about precise zone detection really hits on one of FP2’s standout features. As noted, it uses zone positioning to enable automation in different areas, with a single space divisible into up to 30 small zones, which makes tailored controls (like your living room lighting setup) possible . It’s awesome to see how that solves the inconsistency you faced with the competitor’s product. Thanks for taking the time to share—would love to hear more about how you’ve optimized other automations with it!
