[RELEASE] Aqara P1 Motion Sensor (RTCGQ14LM)

user2428 · March 20, 2023, 9:27am

Update (2)
With 2.3.5.113, everything seems to be working with all my Aqara P1’s online and functioning. Have even learned the hub mesh system and have both my C7 & C8 linked.

Next challenge will be the Aqara FP1 I just received & setting modes.

When I look in HPM I see that I have V1.2.2 but this thread says it is up to V1.2.4. HPM Update check says this V1.2.2 is current. Am I missing something?

Yes, the current situation with this driver version is a bit messy at the moment... : (
There are 3 versions in use:

release version 1.2.2 (2022-08-21) - if installed via HPM before 5th of February.
release version 1.2.4 (2023-01-26) - if installed via HPM after 5th of February or installed/updated manually from the link in the first post
beta (dev. branch) version 1.4.1 (2023-03-25) - if installed/updated manually from the development branch link.

Unfortunately, I forgot to increase the version to 1.2.4 in HPM when I merged the latest code at that time... And now, the differences between 1.2.4 and the latest development branch version become too big. Before pushing any automatic updates from HPM, I need to find the time to test how the update will go.

There are potentially breaking changes in the latest version 1.4.1 - the previously misused Presence attribute is now replaced with another custom attribute, synchronized with the roomState/roomActivity attributes names in the new Aqara FP1 driver, that is currently in a beta testing stage. So I think that the best time to push the latest version via HPM will be the time when the new FP1 driver w/ regions support will be published.

If you are using this driver with the P1 motion sensor, any previous driver version should work. However, if any bugs are found or new features are needed - this will be done based on the latest development version.

Thank you for the information. I understand what I am seeing now.

I am on a C8 and have the Aqara P1 it operates correctly for a few hours and then stops working. I tried the same with another Aqara P1 with the same results.

To make sure there is no issue with the Aqara P1 in install it on my Smartthings Hub where it works without any issues.

Hi @user5034 ,

Please update to HE platform version 2.3.5.135 and pair the P1 sensor again to your C-8 hub.

After re-pairing, you can search the device live logs for the text "Parent NWK is"
This is the short address of the Zigbee repeating device that P1 is using to connect to the hub. Due to security concerns it is not possible to obtain the device name from a user driver, but you can find what this repeater is by searching for the Parent NWK 4 digits ID. In your case :

Parent NWK is 974A

Go to HE Settings -> Zigbee details and search the web page for 974A.
This is the repeater used by P1 to reach the hub. Make sure this device is operational / online / not switched off.
What model/make is it?

iEnam · June 16, 2023, 10:58am

Can't believe it, the P1 has gone offline for the first time on C8 2.3.5.146 (never happened on C7 hub).

If you press the physical button on the device, will it bring it back to life?
Or you need to pair it again to HE?

I just paired it again.
I did notice that the LED was still blinking when motion was detected but not reflected on software.

kkossev · June 17, 2023, 12:14pm

As I remember, when just paired the LED will always blink when the motion is detected in the first 5-10 minutes, no matter how the LED option is set. This is the time frame in which the P1 sensor also accepts configuration commands without the need to press the device button at the same time.

If you look at the Zigbee map, is the sensor now connected directly to the hub or via a router?

Went offline yesterday morning and it was still blinking in the evening when motion was detected, I guess, but was still offline.
I see that it is now directly connected to the hub and settings were reset when I paired it yesterday evening.

Use the community app, not the built-in one.

I noticed this ''(tentative)' label on the built-in map for the first time now :

Another hint to determine whether the Aqara P1 is connected directly to the hub or through a router :

Enable the Debug logs, then press the button on the back of the device shortly. Observe the live logs:

This is the router NWK reported by the sensor itself!
In my case E038 is the Tuya Repeater address.
NWK 0000 means the Aqara device is connected directly to the hub.

Yes, the P1 is connected directly to the hub.
Note that it is not showing in the community app map although it is listed as a child in the data section.

You can experiment with pairing it through a routing device of your choice - just bring it extremely close to the mains-powered router and pair it again (without deleting it first). You may need more than one try until it changes its path to HE ... Now we have tools to know whether it is paired directly of via a repeater (router).

But actually, this is useful only for the older generation Aqara devices, which used to 'stick' to one repeater/router forever.

Aqara P1 is using the newer '3.0' SoC and actually doesn't need this 'sticking' procedure IMO.

Thanks will try this on two of my older aqara sensors.
I gave up trying to keep them connected, and I am now bringing them in to HE via Zigbee2QTT/Home Assistant.

kkossev · June 17, 2023, 1:08pm

Nooooo !
All my old Aqara sensors (motion and contact sensors) are rock solid - just forcibly pair them via a compatible repeater/routing device.

I counted 24 Aqara devices, no one is giving me any trouble.

Summary

The old Aqara contact sensors are the ones with a highest WAF - almost invisible, and I have not changed the batteries for probably 3 years now!

iEnam · June 17, 2023, 4:26pm

Thanks for the tip.
I paired the aqara devices, including a few devices which were showing outcost of zero close to a repeater of choice and I believe they have paired to these respective repeaters.
Will monitor and see how they behave!
Also, you are right the community Zigbee app is more reliable; it was correctly showing offline or zero outcost devices in grey colour, the system app gives no hint!

I bought two of these and got them installed yesterday running the latest version of HE (2.3.5.152), but I could only get them to work using the Pair while trying to avoid Zigbee 3.0 repeaters option (which I don't recall seeing before). I had pulled all of the nearby Zigbee repeaters and even tried pairing right on top of the hub, but simply could not get all of the states to show up until pairing this way. Not sure if there is anything to it, but they've been rock solid and very fast to respond since then. I bought a third just to be sure, and it paired first time to full state reporting on the first try.

I picked up 2 earlier this week on Prime day. Installed without any special handling and operating splendidly. I’m sharing to provide a recent purchase experience for anyone that may be curious on these.

I installed it in a temporary location in my home office triggering a simply TTS announcing motion to test before I most it to the permanent location. I set my motion reset to 10 seconds and it’s working as expected. I would however expect the 5 yr battery life estimate to be at the default 30 seconds.
