New Video! Aqara Presence Sensor Cutting edge tech but based on my testing and experience, I think it's functionality is overstated for the average user. I may not share the popular opinion but check out my video to find out why. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments about if you are pumped to use this to it's fullest now or if you think there are more enhancements needed.
The Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 is a very interesting device that has a lot of people excited. Instead of a traditional PIR motion sensor which can only detect obvious movement, the FP2 uses millimeter waves that are said to be able to detect the exact location of up to 5 people at a single time within the device’s field of view, even if the person is standing still.
Super impressive capabilities in theory, watch my video to find out why I still think this needs some development to make it truly user friendly and to make our lives easier.
