Aqara FP1e

[Synctek]

I have the Aqara FP1e Presence Sensor. Can this be added and functional with drivers to Hubitat via Zigbee alone? I've paired it with drivers from HE. No success. I've been over the different threads and nobody has said "This is how to do it, this works, do this."

We will need some more details on what you are doing. Are you using the HE-built "Aqara Presence Sensor FP1E" driver or the custom/community driver?

[Synctek]

Thank you for the prompt response.
Yes, I am using the driver you poster here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kkossev/Hubitat/development/Drivers/Aqara%20P1%20Motion%20Sensor/Aqara_P1_Motion_Sensor.groovy

I've paired the device twice having put the FP1e about 1.5 inches away from the HE.
The following is the stats from the device:

State Variables

• rxCounter : 3
• driverVersion : 1.7.0 2024/08/15 8:26 AM
• txCounter : 3
• notPresentCounter : 0
• health : {}
• motionStarted : 1730559274421
• comment : Works with Aqara P1, FP1, FP1E, Aqara/Xiaomi/Mija other motion and illuminance sensors

My understanding is the rxCounter numbers should be higher?
The device is NOT displaying the "Motion" attribute but the status is " healthStatus : online"

Any ideas?

Yes, the rxCounter state counts the number of the received Zigbee messages. A low and not increasing number indicates a Zigbee connectivity problem (make sure you press the F5 in the desktop browser to refresh the page).

The solution for me (and others) pairing some problematic Zigbee 3.0 devices to C-8 is this one :

FP1E Support Question

I am using the Double Luck Voodoo almost all the time when pairing Zigbee devices in the last months. Aqara FP1E (and some other new Aqara devices) are challenging to pair directly to C-8. There are quite a few comments on this topic here.

If having problems pairing to a C-7 hub, you can check this post:

[RELEASE] Aqara FP1 / FP1E Human Presence Sensor (RTCZCGQ11LM RTCZCGQ13LM)

Ok, so you were absolutely correct about trying several times. After the 25th time, it worked. [Screenshot from 2024-08-21 15-44-49] I noticed that the other driver has "motion zones". Are motion zones one of your future plans? Byt the way, thanks so much for all your comments. I'd have to say that diligence seems to be the word of the day.

@Synctek

The device is NOT displaying the "Motion" attribute but the status is " healthStatus : online"

The healthStatus attribute should become 'offline' after 12 hours of inactivity. I tried in the driver to detect faster such abnormal initial pairing states, but the result was not consistent.

Try the Doble Luck voodoo from the first link.

Just tried the Double Luck voodoo. The device paired in the fashion. I noticed that the Device Type section is red. I've tried a couple times selecting the FP1e in the drop down and saving but it continues to go back to RED after a refresh

[kkossev]

I can't recall seeing this label in red color... Is your Zigbee radio working OK?

'Aqara Presence Sensor FP1E' is the Hubitat built-in system driver, not the custom one we discussed before.

[Synctek]

Can you send me the link for the drivers and the actual label for the FP1e as it should display in hubitat? I may have made a mistake in the selection of the proper service driver/label. I've never seen it turn red either.

This is the direct link to Github :
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kkossev/Hubitat/development/Drivers/Aqara%20P1%20Motion%20Sensor/Aqara_P1_Motion_Sensor.groovy

The driver name is "Aqara P1 Motion Sensor" and the latest version is "1.7.0"
