Built on Zigbee and Matter, FP1E combines
mmWave technology with advanced AI algorithms for high-precision
human sensing in any room or space
Aqara, a global leader and pioneer in IoT, today announced the
launch of the Presence Sensor FP1E, expanding the Company’s smart
sensor lineup. Built upon Zigbee protocol, the FP1E sensor is
designed for enhanced monitoring and automation capabilities for
homeowners while maintaining ease of use. The sensor also supports
Matter over an Aqara Matter bridge, and offers seamless
compatibility across Matter platforms including Amazon Alexa, Apple
Home, Google Home, Home Assistant, Homey, and Samsung
SmartThings*.
Utilizing millimeter wave (mmWave) technology, the Presence
Sensor FP1E detects even the slightest human movements, allowing
for precise, prompt presence detection that can be used for various
home automation scenarios. It detects presence within a distance of
up to 6 meters (ca. 20 feet), and can monitor a room of up to 50
square meters (ca. 538 sqft) when ceiling mounted. Compared to PIR
motion sensors, the FP1E detects human presence even when the
person is sitting or lying still. Moreover, it can recognize within
seconds when the person leaves a room and trigger the automation to
turn off the lights and air conditioner, ultimately reducing energy
loss.
As a complement to the versatile Presence Sensor FP2 with a
broader feature set, the FP1E is streamlined for enhanced
user-friendliness, ideal for those who seek a straightforward yet
precise occupancy detection solution without the need for advanced
functionalities like zone positioning. Designed for immediate use
out of the box, the FP1E sensor uses advanced AI algorithms to
distinguish between relevant movements and false triggers,
eliminating the hassle of additional setups. Small pets and
interference sources such as mirrors, metals, curtains, and ACs are
filtered to reduce unnecessary alerts, while the sensor’s
sensitivity is self-adaptive. The sensor is also equipped with AI
learning capabilities that augment its detection accuracy through
continuous learning, adapting to the user’s home environment over
time.
Aqara Home users can utilize the FP1E to detect human movement
or stillness within a space, unlocking a wide range of automation
possibilities triggered by moving/still status along with the
status duration. For example, the sensor can detect if the user
remained still for over 30 minutes and can send notifications or
change the color of the user’s smart lights as a gentle reminder to
stand up. This automation aims to promote a healthier routine,
reduce the risks of sedentary behavior, and prioritize self-care
with visual cues and reminders.
The FP1E is powered by a 5V1A power supply and comes with both a
magnetic and adhesive-backed bracket, allowing for effortless
installation on walls, ceilings, or corners.
The Presence Sensor FP1E is now available in Aqara’s Amazon
brand stores across North America (US, Canada), Europe (France,
Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, UK) and Asia (Japan),
as well as through select Aqara retailers worldwide.
