Setup notes and best practices

This sensor requires an Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub and a secure 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi network for full functionality. Ensure your hub firmware is up to date to access the latest features. Place the unit within about 10 meters (roughly 33 feet) of the hub for reliable connectivity and experiment with angles to minimize blind spots.

Real-world tips: mount at a height and angle that captures typical movement without triggering excessive alerts, and consider the layout of doors and corridors. The P1 is compact and pet-friendly, making it easy to position discreetly while delivering smart coverage across your space.
