No you dont need that. There is a custom card for zone became active/inactive for the FP2 zones. The standard Homey active/inactive for a zone is also available but only for the FP2 sensor as a whole. FP2 without zones has motion and zone active for FP2 as a whole FP2 zones defined will ADD zone active/inactive custom card. You can give the zones a meaningful name in the advanced settings of the device. ---

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I have seen those flow triggers. However, that does not solve my “issue”. I want to use the native Homey zone management. All my flows are based upon those and I don’t want to rewrite them to rely directly on specific devices (but rather zones). Also, you can see in my screenshot that the Homey activity indicators will not work the way FP2 is added out of the box with HomeKit Controller: ![IMG_0503](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/d/fd66734ff683545c15d60551383bbab833ac0003.jpeg) ---

No, a Homey zone can only be connected to the overall motion sensor of an FP2 not an individual FP2 zone. ---

Ok, that clears that up. Home Assistant exposes the FP2 to Homey as separate sensors. That was what I was aiming for. That means I will need to map the internal sensors to virtual sensors to get the zone activity exposed to the correct zones. ---

Hello colleagues, After new firmware update I have realized that my aqara fp2 presence detection is working slowly, detection presence and no presence is detected with more time. I have realized also that in homey pro aqara fp2 added with homekit controller on item settings is now available json.Do you have knowledge in order to edit this json in order to get quicker response for this aqara fp2 presence sensor? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/0/f03444b1281f73e787f1aabbcd93b3a01e7e1d7c.png) thanks in advance.

Hi All and @Martin_Verbeek in particular 🙂 I bought the fp2 but i cant get it to work. hp23 doesnt find it. I did: 1. install app homekit controller, clicked Homekit IP -\>install → 2 devices but not fp2 2. restarted app multiple times, restarted hp23 too 3. restarted homey app too multiple times… fp2 is blinking yellow all the time… Ive read a lot of threads on homey community but i cant get it to work… Someone any tips/advice please? ---

Hi Both, lol well, i didnt know there was an "android’ aqara app that i needed to use first. I thought the homey aqara app. Now i got it connected in the aqara app and after that it was visible in the homekit controller app. Now i need to install zones. Do i have to do all that via the aqara app first or can i delete that app ? I hate these chinese apps… and major thanks of course! ---

haha yea i know what you say, but still… Im updating firmware from 1.1.7\_0002.0028 to 1.2.6\_0001.0077 Is it correct that all setups must be done via the android aqara app, and homekit controller is only there to connect aqara with homey + to make flows?
