Aqara has just launched a battery operated, matter compatible presence sensor. Exciting.

More details in this article. Mentions support for Homey. And it seems to be named FP300 > **[Aqara's New FP300 is The Presence Sensor to Beat](https://homekitnews.com/2025/01/06/aqaras-new-fp300-is-the-presence-sensor-to-beat/)** > > Aqara announces the FP300, combining PIR and mmWave sensing detection, that can be deployed using either Zigbee or Thread wireless protocols. ---

Will it work without the aqara hub ---

The article implies that it should work without the hub, but that specific settings will probably need to be set up in the Aqara app. Guessing this is for example to set up zones. ---

I would be careful with Aqara and Matter. I have two locks U200. Really like them. But connecting them with matter has proven difficult. Even to the own Aqara hub. One I was never able to connect other than with Bluetooth. The other I was able to connect via HomeKit and share from there. As both U200 are showing same challenges I‘m pretty sure it‘s some Firmware issue (I have the latest). But I‘m optimistic they‘ll fix that someday. Btw, support wasn‘t able to help either ---

This was the reason I gave up on u200. Another one was the way of installation. Now I use switchbot and it works perfectly + installation is firm and reliable = all the opening options: app, nfc, fingerprint, code… ---

Yes, but it has no zone creation, no multiperson detection, and no fall detection. It is a glorified FP1E wireless. The FP2 is way much better. ---
