The Aqara FP1E presence sensor uses millimeter wave radar (mmWave) technology with enhanced accuracy, allowing it to detect the presence of a person even when they are motionless. This function, unlike traditional PIR (infrared) sensors, eliminates cases where the lights turn off while the person is sitting or working without moving. The FP1E provides reliable detection, reducing response delay and ensuring faster and more stable automations.
Aqara FP1E Presence Sensor
The Aqara FP1E presence sensor utilizes advanced millimeter-wave radar technology, allowing for accurate detection of human presence even with minimal movement.
This sensor is compatible with Apple HomeKit via an Aqara gateway and is specifically designed for home automation systems.
Main Features:
- Millimeter-Wave Radar Technology: The FP1E sensor accurately detects the presence of people, even with minimal movement such as breathing.
- Presence and Motion Discrimination: The sensor detects not only motion but also actual human presence, ensuring that lights and other systems stay active even when the user is stationary.
- Increased Privacy: The sensor does not record images or videos, fully protecting user privacy.
- Zigbee 3.0 Protocol: Communicates via the Zigbee 3.0 protocol, providing a stable and fast connection with other smart devices.
Installation and Integration:
- Easy Installation: Thanks to the magnetic base, the sensor can be quickly installed on a wall or ceiling.
- Zigbee 3.0 Connection: Easily integrates into an existing smart home system via the Aqara Zigbee gateway.
- Requires Aqara Hub: For full functionality, it connects to an Aqara Hub.
Usage Scenarios:
- Automatic Lighting Control: The sensor automatically turns lights on or off based on human presence.
- Heating and Cooling Control: Used to intelligently manage heating and cooling.
- Security Features: Accurately detects movement and presence, ideal for security systems.
- Smart Automations: Creates complex automations, such as activating devices in specific areas.

Aqara FP1E Presence Sensor
The Aqara FP1E presence sensor uses millimeter wave radar (mmWave) technology with enhanced accuracy, allowing it to detect the presence of a person even when they are motionless. This function, unlike traditional PIR (infrared) sensors, eliminates cases where the lights turn off while the person is sitting or working without moving. The FP1E provides reliable detection, reducing response delay and ensuring faster and more stable automations.
Detection of moving and idle state
The FP1E stands out from PIR sensors thanks to its ability to offer Detection of Moving and Still Status. By using a combination of radar and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, it can detect presence with high accuracy in a single space. Additionally, this enhanced accuracy and efficiency allows the radar to reliably monitor changes in presence, even in complex environments.
Zigbee Protocol
In terms of connectivity, the Aqara FP1E relies on the Zigbee protocol. To operate and be integrated into the smart home, the use of an Aqara Hub (e.g., M1S or M2) is required. Through the Hub, the sensor gains access to Matter over Bridge Support, which allows its integration into various third-party ecosystems, such as Apple Home (HomeKit), Amazon Alexa, and Google Home.
Flexible Placement Options
The sensor offers flexible installation options, as it can be mounted on a wall, ceiling, or corner, depending on the space and coverage needs. It is powered by a wired connection, ensuring continuous operation without the need to change batteries. This uninterrupted operation is essential for the reliability of automations that rely on constant presence detection.
