The Aqara FP300 is finally here, and after using it for over a month, I can confidently say this is one of the most versatile smart home sensors available. With dual PIR and millimeter wave detection, Matter support, Thread AND ZigBee connectivity, plus a 2-3 year battery life - this wireless sensor might be exactly what your smart home has been missing.

In this video, I'll show you everything the FP300 can do, how to set it up, and share my real-world experience using it to automate my bedroom lights (spoiler: it finally got wife approved!).

What Makes the FP300 Special:
✅ Wireless design with 2-3 year battery life
✅ PIR + 60GHz millimeter wave detection
✅ Matter support (works with Apple Home, Google, Alexa, etc.)
✅ Choose between Thread OR ZigBee connection
✅ Built-in light, temperature & humidity sensors
✅ AI spatial learning for better accuracy over time
✅ Adjustable sensitivity and detection range

*UPDATE*
The FP300 sensor is sold out on Amazon due to high demand. It is estimated to be back in stock mid-late December.

I will update with a new discount code once they are back in stock.
