I made it work with just homekit the aqara app and homey. (So only on iphone)

  1. Add the fp2 sensor in aqara. And add zones etc.
  2. Make sure the fp2 zones are ported to homekit from within the aqara app. (So visible in the apple home app)
  3. Make a virtual device in homey with the homekitty app and make it visible in the apple home app through homekitty.
  4. Make an automation to turn on/off the virtual homey device with the homekit aqara zones. (In the home app from apple)
    Example if zone kitchen is occupied → turn on virtual device kitchen. This virtual device will turn on/off in homey and can be used for flows.
    PS you need 2 automations in homekit. One to turn on, and one to turn off!

Et voila, you can use your virtual device in homey for your automations. Works like a charm for me.
Fp2 with homey using homekit as a “bridge”
I have 2 sensors for about 2-3 months now. And 3 zones per sensors. I give it an 8,5/10.
Works in most situations, some delay 1-1,5 seconds I think. And in the beginning I needed a lot of “relearning” from the aqara app. (Reset absence, so it learns)
