Aqara FP1E Presence Sensor – mmWave Radar Technology

The Aqara FP1E camera-free smart home presence sensor detects human presence with an accuracy that traditional PIR sensors cannot achieve. Thanks to its millimeter-wave radar technology, it perceives micro-movements such as breathing, even when the person is perfectly still. Compatible with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, and Alexa via an Aqara Zigbee 3.0 gateway.

Radar detection that goes beyond simple movement

Where a classic PIR turns off as soon as you stop moving, the Aqara FP1E camera-free smart home presence sensor maintains detection as long as the room is actually occupied. The sensor distinguishes active presence from simple passing, which allows lighting, heating, or a smart home scene to remain active without untimely interruptions. For multi-zone automations, it can trigger different actions depending on the precise zone where the person is in the room.

The Aqara FP1E camera-free smart home presence sensor fully respects your privacy

No video, no photos, no image recognition: the Aqara FP1E camera-free smart home presence sensor only analyzes variations in the radar signal to detect presence. This approach ensures effective monitoring of room occupancy without any visual capture. Installation is quick thanks to its magnetic mounting on the wall or ceiling, with an adjustable angle to precisely cover the desired area. It is powered via USB-C 5V/1A with a detection range of up to 5 meters.

Precise automations for lighting, heating, and security

Paired with other Aqara devices, the Aqara FP1E camera-free smart home presence sensor opens up smart home scenarios that classic motion sensors do not allow. Lights turn on when you enter a zone and remain active as long as you are there, even when still. Heating or air conditioning only activates if the room is occupied. For security, it detects a presence in a monitored area even if the intruder remains still. An Aqara Zigbee gateway is required to access all these functionalities.

FAQ

What is the difference between the FP1E and a classic motion detector?

A classic PIR detector only reacts to movement and stops detection as soon as the person stops moving. The FP1E uses mmWave radar which detects actual presence, including micro-movements like breathing, for continuous and precise room occupancy.

Does the FP1E require a hub to function?

Yes, a compatible Aqara Zigbee 3.0 gateway is required to access full functionalities: zone detection, automations, HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Assistant integration.

Can the FP1E be installed on the ceiling?

Yes, the included magnetic mount allows for both wall and ceiling installation, with an adjustable angle to optimize detection coverage according to the room configuration.
