Aqara Launches New Motion and Light Sensor P2 with Thread and Matter Support

The Aqara Motion and Light Sensor P2, priced at $33.99, offers enhanced connectivity and compatibility with major smart home platforms.

Aqara's new sensor features Matter-over-Thread technology, eliminating the need for a separate hub.
The P2 model is designed to work seamlessly with Apple Home, Google Home, and other platforms, though it faces some integration challenges with Apple.
It includes a wide-angle PIR motion sensor and an independent light sensor for precise automation capabilities.
Despite its advanced technology, the P2 has a shorter battery life of up to two years compared to its predecessor.
Aqara plans to expand its Thread-enabled product line, including a new smart lock and additional sensors.
