Aqara Presence Sensor FP300 mmWave 5-in-1 Motion & Enviro

The Aqara Presence Sensor FP300 is a compact 5-in-1 wireless sensor that uses 60GHz mmWave, PIR, light, temperature, and humidity sensing to detect true human presence and environmental conditions for smarter home automation.

The FP300 consolidates multiple sensors into one low-profile device designed for reliable presence detection and environmental monitoring. Combining mmWave radar, passive infrared, ambient light, and climate sensing with adaptive AI, it helps reduce false triggers while enabling seamless automation across Thread, Zigbee, and Matter-enabled ecosystems.

How does the FP300 tell the difference between presence and mere motion?

This sensor pairs 60GHz mmWave radar with a PIR detector and AI-driven processing to distinguish lingering people from passing movement. That layered approach lets the FP300 keep lights or HVAC active when someone is still, and shut them off when a space is truly empty.

• mmWave radar senses micro-movements like breathing and posture.
• PIR validates motion-based heat signatures for redundancy.
• AI tuning reduces false alarms and adapts sensitivity over time.
• Settings let you adjust responsiveness for different rooms.

What smart home platforms and hubs will it work with?

The FP300 supports Matter over Thread plus native Zigbee compatibility, so it fits into modern smart home setups. You can pair it with Apple Home (HomeKit), Home Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, and other Matter-enabled controllers—subject to the required Thread Border Router or compatible Zigbee hub.

• Use Matter + Thread with a Thread Border Router for cross-platform control.
• Zigbee mode works with Aqara hubs (M2/M3/G410 etc.) running updated firmware.
• Third-party Matter ecosystems require a Matter Controller for full features.
• Check hub compatibility and firmware before pairing for best results.

How long does the battery last and how do I install it?

The FP300 runs on two replaceable CR2450 batteries, delivering about three years in Zigbee mode or around two years in Thread mode under typical use. It installs without wiring using the included multi-axis mount and adhesive sticker, letting you place it on walls, ceilings, or in corners for optimal coverage.

• Uses two CR2450 batteries (replaceable) for long runtime.
• Zigbee mode: up to ~3 years; Thread mode: up to ~2 years under normal usage.
• Multi-angle bracket and sticker included for wall, ceiling, or corner mounting.
• 120° field of view and detection range up to 6 m (20 ft).

What additional environmental data does it provide and why does that matter?

Beyond presence, the FP300 measures ambient light, temperature, and relative humidity to help automate lighting, climate control, and comfort routines. Those readings let you create smarter scenes—like reducing heating when a room is empty or adjusting light triggers based on ambient brightness.

• Ambient light sensor for brightness-aware automation.
• Temperature and humidity sensors support climate-based rules.
• All readings available to connected hubs for scene creation and analytics.
• Data helps save energy and maintain occupant comfort.

Who is this for: The Aqara FP300 is built for homeowners and smart home enthusiasts who want accurate human-presence detection and environmental sensing without hardwiring. It suits people who run multi-protocol setups (Thread/Matter or Zigbee), need low-maintenance battery operation, and want a discreet sensor that supports energy-saving automations, comfort-driven scenes, and improved security monitoring.
