New Aqara Zigbee 3.0 occupancy sensor (FP1) looks interesting

I have had the same experience as @bptworld... working well for me so far.

Pretty decent like Bryan said, you can also adjust the detection distance which I assume tracks with the power level. I have one in our den and it works pretty much everywhere in there even when someone is laying on the couch - sensor is behind the couch on top of a cabinet.

I've always treated it like it was regardless..

usb powered, comes with a nice long cord and charger.

No dropoffs so far but my oldest device in our powder room has only been installed since mid August.

Additional Notes:

  • If looking to use for motion activated lighting I would recommend using in conjunction with a traditional motion sensor as the FP1 is a bit slow for the initial detection. I use the motion sensor for a fast "hit" in order to turn my lights "on" and then the FP1 for the "inactive" in order to turn lights "off". After testing the sensor seems plenty fast... thanks to @cnelson.sc for mentioning it in another thread...
  • Can install via the Hubitat Package Manager. Use @kkossev's excellent "Aqara P1 Motion Sensor" driver. (yes P1 not F1)
