Aqara Launches FP300, Its First Battery-Powered mmWave Presence Sensor, for $49.99

Battery power delivers flexible placement with wide platform support at a lower price, minus the FP2’s advanced monitoring.

Overview

  • The Presence Multi-Sensor FP300 is available worldwide through Aqara’s website, official retailers, and Amazon.
  • A limited Amazon launch promotion offers 15% off with regional codes through November 14, bringing the $49.99 price down for early buyers.
  • Two CR2450 coin cells power the device for up to three years on Zigbee or up to two years on Thread, according to Aqara.
  • The 5‑in‑1 unit pairs mmWave and PIR to detect still or moving occupants at roughly 20 feet and adds light, temperature, and humidity readings for automations.
  • Connectivity includes Zigbee and Matter over Thread for use with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and SmartThings, with Zigbee enabling range controls and sensor toggles in the Aqara app.
