Aqara has begun the global rollout of its latest presence-sensing device, the Aqara Presence Multi-Sensor FP300. First showcased at CES in January, the FP300 is the brand’s first battery-powered mmWave sensor, offering precise occupancy detection without the need for wiring or a nearby power outlet.
Unlike the wired FP1E and FP2 models, the FP300 operates entirely on batteries, delivering up to two years of use depending on configuration. While it lacks some advanced features such as multi-person detection and detailed room mapping, it offers a key advantage: flexible placement, even in humid areas like bathrooms.
Aqara includes sticky pads, screws, and magnets in the box, making installation quick and versatile on any surface. The device is positioned as a 5-in-1 sensor, combining mmWave and PIR for accurate motion and presence detection, alongside sensors for light, temperature, and humidity, allowing it to function as both an occupancy and environmental monitor.
All metrics appear as individual cards in the Aqara app and are supported by HomeKit, Home Assistant, and other platforms thanks to its Matter-over-Thread compatibility. This also means the FP300 does not require an Aqara hub—fitting easily into any preferred smart home ecosystem.
