I will try that if that fails I will buy the M2 hub and pair it with HE
Aqara M2 should work but haven't tested it I only have the Aqara G3 (not recomended) and M3 Hubs.
I am using this workaround when pairing Zigbee 3.0 devices.

I picked the M2 for $30 and using the bridge device and all seems to be working well thus far.

I just ordered an FP1E. Thank you for the work on this!
Reading through all the posts, it looks like people have a lot of issues pairing it directly with Hubitat and the recommendation is to pair with an Aqara hub and then matter it over.
Has anyone tried pairing directly to Smartthings and matter it over from there? Do you get enough features that way? I'm curious if anyone knows which features you get with each method. I have a smartthings hub and would prefer not adding an Aqara hub unless it's significantly better. I'm sure, like everyone else, the ultimate preference is to pair directly to Hubitat.
Is it just me or anyone got it to work just as a motion sensor? I got FP1E paired directly to my C7 but "Rule Machine" and "Room Lighting" do not show the device as a presence sensor? If I use as motion sensor which still works but I lose the occupancy feature. Am I missing something?
"motion" is the correct attribute to use with mmW sensors.
For better or worse, the "presence" attribute always has (and likely always will) be used for geofencing home-vs-away sort of things, not mmW sensing.
The recent arrival of mmW sensors has unfortunately clouded the use of the term presense, but this is an issue bigger than Hubitat -- it's the same for all smarthome platforms AFAIK.

"Presence" in Hubitat terms is the "left the house" type of sensor (your mobile phone). Those are "motion sensors" for Hubitat, so "motion" is the correct attribute.

Thanks @hydro311 and @jbaruch for speedy respond. Do you guys have a work around to use the Room state "Unoccupied/Occopied" of the presence sensor instead of "active/inactive" of the motion sensor? My light keeps turning off when the FP1E detects people in the room but no motion.
I don't use any of these Aqara sensors, so I'm guessing that is a (device) driver-related issue - hopefully Krassimir or a fellow FP1E user can chime in.
I'm not sure that's the case, as the device still reports values for motion, room activity, and room state. The only issue is that Hubitat recognizes it as a motion sensor. Again, thank you!
