Presence Sensor FP2 User Manual
Please read this manual carefully and keep it in a safe place.

The Presence Sensor FP2 features zone positioning, multi-person detection, and fall detection.
Capable of detecting presence or absence, falls, entries, exits, approach, departure, and
illuminance, it supports real-time tracking of multiple targets and zone settings. The FP2's
powerful features can also be used within third-party automation systems: multiple sensors are
exposed to HomeKit (and Home Assistant), Alexa, Google Home and more without needing a hub.
1. The fall detection results are for reference only. The product cannot fully replace medical devices
and may not accurately recognize slow tumbles or gradual falls while leaning against a wall.
Additionally, rapidly falling or shaking objects could trigger false fall detection alerts.
2. Avoid placing this product near a heat source.
3. Refrain from attempting self-repairs. All repairs should be conducted by professionals.
*This device requires to be used with the Aqara Home app.
*If local automation is needed, this product should be used with a Hub with Wi-Fi Local Automation features.

Based on the actual application scenario, determine the appropriate
installation method and required detection range for the FP2.
For zone detection, the wall-mounted method is recommended: it
offers a horizontal detection angle of 120 degrees, with blind spots
appearing beyond 120 degrees; the radial detection distance is 8
meters and the detection width is 6 meters.
Device Binding & Initialization
1

1. If you use HomeKit to add the device, you can either scan the Apple setup code on the device as
prompted by the app or manually enter the PIN code.
2. If the binding fails, please confirm whether the following reasons exist:
• The device only supports the Wi-Fi network of 2.4GHz band.
• Unsupported special characters in the Wi-Fi name or password may cause connection failure.
• Change them to commonly-used characters before trying again.
• The device does not currently support WPA/WPA2 enterprise-class Wi-Fi networks.
• Check if the router has enabled Wi-Fi anti-squatting settings or AP isolation, as these could result in
connection or device search failures within the local area network.
• Bridge connection networks are not recommended.
3. Common HomeKit addition failures include:
• If it prompts "No accessories can be added," restart the iOS device (iPhone or iPad) and reset the
FP2 before trying again, as the error message might be cached in the iOS system due to repeated
adding failures.
• If it prompts "accessories have been added," restart the iOS device, reset the FP2, and manually
enter the HomeKit setting code to add the doorbell.
• If it prompts "no accessories are found," reset the FP2, wait for 3 minutes, and manually enter the
HomeKit setting code to add it again.

Device Card and Homepage
Once bounded, you can view the current status of the device on the FP2 device card, including
presence, absence, falling, and offline states. Illuminance is displayed through separate cards.
On the Presence Sensor FP2 device homepage, you can access the floorplan, coordinate
information, logs, zone management, and installation mode.
The floorplan is divided into 16x20=320 cells. Each cell represents a detection space of
0.5m x 0.5m = 0.25 square meters.
5

Installation Guidance
Aer bounded, you can follow the installation guide to configure important settings, including
modes, edges, and interference sources.
FP2 supports presence detection, zone dectection (Personnel positioning), falling detection.
Default mode is always on by default, regardless of selecting any two other modes.
6

Step 2: Edge Setting
The edge setting is primarily used to reduce false targets caused by signal reflections from walls or
other objects. It is recommended to set the area beyond the wall as the edge.

Step 3: Interference Source Configuring
Living and office spaces oen have moving targets such as curtains, fans, green plants moved by
wind, and clothes hanging. If the sensor faces these objects, a false alarm may easily occur, so it
needs to be marked as an interference source.
Note: Make sure to configure the interference source only aer ensuring that humans and pets have
le the area.

Zone Management
Click the FP2 device homepage edit area to access settings for templates, stickers, monitoring and
other areas. Long press a set area to edit it directly. Click Sticker to edit them, and click Template
to access the template page.
7

Zone Detection
FP2 supports up to 30 detection zones. FP2 allows up to 30 detection zones. Select cells with one
finger slide. Use two fingers to zoom and drag during editing.
For each zone, you can edit the name, choose colors, and select the type.
Type selection allows FP2 to optimize monitoring parameters for better recognition.
Once the monitoring zone is set, zone automation options are generated. If FP2 is added to Apple
Home, the area syncs automatically, creating occupancy sensors. By enabling zone name sync in
the app settings, the name also syncs to Apple Home.
8

Sticker
We offer 16 sticker types, with a limit of 20 per user. Stickers can be selected, enlarged, shrunk or
deleted. To rotate a sticker, drag or click the rotate button in its lower-le corner.
9

Edges, Interference Sources, and Entrances/Exits
These areas don't generate automation but impact device accuracy. Entrances/exits are where
people appear or disappear, like hallways or doors.
Set more cells than actual doors to ensure accurate entry and exit. Target creation and deletion will
be faster in these areas, with stricter conditions.
Configuring edges and interference sources is crucial. No targets are created in edge areas, and
valid targets won't enter.
Targets aren't created in interference sources, but valid targets can move into them.
10

Template
Templates save layout configurations, allowing users to experiment in different home spaces
without repetitive setups.
Save the current area configuration by clicking the button in the top right corner as a personal
template, including monitoring areas, other areas, and stickers.
11

Click to enter the template page, where you can import recommended and personal templates.
Templates support previewing and importing. Personal templates can be managed, renamed, and
deleted.
There are currently 11 recommended templates to choose from, which users can edit based on
their actual layout, including a blank template that clears all area content.
* Note that applying a template will delete existing area configurations, so save accordingly. Zone
automations needs to be adjusted aer applying a template. Personal templates are shared within
an account, not only for this device but for all FP2s within the user's account.

More Settings
FP2 supports the following More Settings:
(1) Anti-light pollution mode
When activated, all indicator lights, including protection and offline
reminders, are turned off during specified periods.
Note: Reset and network access indicators still function normally
during network access.
(2) Detection modes
FP2 supports presence detection, zone dectection (Personnel
positioning), falling detection. Default mode is always on by default,
regardless of selecting any two other modes.
Note: Future FP2 OTA will support more modes.
Zone detection includes detection direction and coordinate
direction reversal configuration options.
Coordinate direction reversal supports enabling, disabling, and auto
modes. In auto mode, FP2 system automatically recognizes the
installation method of the device and decides whether to enable
coordinate direction reversal.
When the detection direction function is set to le-right monitoring,
12
the entry and exit directions will have distinct attributes, and will be divided into le-entry,
right-entry, le-exit, and right-exit.
(3) Presence Detection Sensitivity
Sensitivity levels impact FP2's response speed and accuracy. Higher sensitivity offers quicker
responses but may cause false alarms. Use high sensitivity in static areas like bedrooms, and low
sensitivity in dynamic areas like hallways.
(4) Proximity Sensing Distance
This setting influences proximity sensing for both radar and surrounding area.
With low, medium, and high settings, the distance thresholds are 1m, 2m, and 3m. For example, at
medium, events are reported when a person is within 2m (approaching) or more than 2m (departing)
from the radar or area.
(5) Fall Detection Sensitivity
Different fall detection sensitivities affect the recognition range and false alarm rate. Higher sensitivity
detects more fall types but may cause some false alarms, such as a slow sitting action being
misinterpreted as a fall.
(6) Reset to Absence Status
If the device has false alarms, you can click "Reset to Absence Status" to clear all targets in the entire space.
(7) Name Synchronization
With this feature, you can synchronize the set zone names with Apple Home.

If the zones are set through Aqara Home, the zones will be synchronized to Apple Home
automatically. An Aqara Presence Sensor will be generated correspondingly in each zone
among the types of occupancy sensor.
To sync area names, use the name synchronization in more settings. Each presence sensor in
Apple Home can have separate automation events.
Each presence sensor of Apple Home can be set into an automatic event independently.
