📓 *About this video*
See how the Aqara FP300 battery-powered millimeter wave presence sensor is transforming my Apple Home setup with ultra-reliable occupancy detection, smarter closet lighting, and automations that work even when you’re not moving. In this video I walk through how the FP300 pairs over Zigbee or Thread, works with Matter over Thread, uses its built-in light level sensor and advanced presence detection to prevent false triggers, and how it compares to older Aqara sensors and basic motion sensors in a modern smart home.
