Aqara

Aqara FP2 uses 60 GHz mmWave radar to detect stationary presence and zone occupancy in real time, eliminating the blind spots of passive infrared sensors.

Unlike PIR sensors that only trigger on movement, FP2’s millimetre-wave radar detects motionless occupants — someone reading or sleeping — with no privacy-invasive camera. Up to five independent detection zones can be drawn in the Aqara app, enabling granular automations such as turning on a desk lamp only when someone sits at the desk. Fall detection mode raises an alert if a sudden change in radar signature consistent with a fall is detected, useful for elder care. Matter over Wi-Fi support lets FP2 work natively in Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa without a separate hub. Sub-500 ms response time ensures lights snap on the moment a room is entered.
