Overview
- The FP300 is on sale worldwide for $49.99 through Aqara and Amazon, with a 15% Amazon launch discount available through November 14 using codes FP300NA11 (US/Canada) and FP300EU11 (UK/EU).
- Power comes from two CR2450 batteries, with Aqara rating up to three years of life on Zigbee or up to two years on Thread depending on settings.
- A 60 GHz mmWave radar paired with PIR detects moving or stationary people at roughly 20 feet, and hands-on checks report about a 120-degree field of view.
- Connectivity includes Matter over Thread and Zigbee for Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, and SmartThings, with Thread setup not requiring an Aqara hub and Zigbee offering longer life and finer controls.
- The compact sensor adds light, temperature, and humidity readings and multiple mounting options, but it forgoes FP2 capabilities like multi-person detection, fall detection, and sleep or biometric monitoring.
