Aqara Presence Sensor FP2

Compiled by SmartHomeWorkflow Research · Aqara · Sensors & Detectors · ~$82.99 ($82.99 read from Aqara's own store structured offer data on 2026-08-08 (SKU DTC-US-SN-PSFP2), single unit, in stock. Never treated as a live price. Corrected from $83 — a rounding.)

Compatibility

? Inconclusive means we researched that ecosystem and the evidence doesn’t settle it — the catch says why, and the sources are listed below. It is a statement about the available evidence, never a verdict on the product. A Setup Check researches your exact setup where the official sources don’t answer.

Protocols: WIFI^[1][2][3][6]

What it can do^[10]

• Alexa: Aqara's own ecosystem table gives Alexa "Multi-Zone Presence" and NOT the light sensor, where Apple Home and Home Assistant are marked "Full Function" with both. So a lighting automation keyed on the FP2's own light reading is not available through Alexa.
• Google Home: Same as Alexa on Aqara's table: "Multi-Zone Presence" only, without the light reading that Apple Home and Home Assistant receive.

Listed capabilities are what we could establish from vendor documentation. An ability missing here is unestablished — not necessarily absent.

Subscription reality^[18]

✓ Works without a subscription: Yes.

Vendor account required: Yes — you must create a vendor account to use it.^[12]

No subscription, and no Aqara account fee: presence detection and the zones you set up run on the sensor and your hub, and everything this record lists it doing is included in the purchase price.

Maintenance reality^[2]

• Batteries:
• Works without the internet: Partly — some of it keeps working and some of it does not. See the detail below.^[2]
• No batteries — wired power only (USB-C, 5V/1A, constant power required). Aqara states automations can execute locally without internet, but initial setup, zone editing, and firmware updates go through the cloud-connected Aqara app; 2.4 GHz WiFi required, 5 GHz not supported.
• Security updates: Aqara states its security-update commitment for this model as a period rather than a date: at least 2 years from the launch day (UK-declared — the maker's legal commitment is filed for the United Kingdom). That is a floor measured from a starting point the manufacturer sets — a launch or a purchase — rather than a fixed end date, so it cannot be placed on a calendar here. We record the commitment as the manufacturer states it, in our words, rather than converting it into a date it did not give. This is a published commitment, not a gap in our research.^[8]

The catch

It needs constant USB-C power and 2.4 GHz WiFi, has no Matter support and no official SmartThings listing, and every detection zone must be drawn and maintained in the Aqara app.

Who it's for

Fits rooms where PIR motion sensors fail — desks, sofas, reading chairs — for people running Apple Home or Home Assistant who can supply wall power and want multi-zone, room-scale presence without a hub.
