Description: Nice review of the FP300: [The Aqara FP300 Is The King Of Presence Sensors]

I have not ordered it. Maybe in the future. For use in some rooms to manage powering on/off lights and equipment where presence is a factor. In principle it would also be a great replacement of my current setup to switch on/off the lights in the restroom. Though it is a pricy piece of hardware for …

If you google it, you find a lot of reviews from the early bird testers on the aquara forum. I personally just want to test it. But like you said, it will probably be used for light automation to begin with.

I got one of these delivered today, not used it as of yet. Is this not fully supported as of yet with homey?

Delivered today What is the blind time ? Can I change that setting ?

Another question. My main matter hub is an apple HomePod. Do I need to connect via iOS or homey pro?

So does this work with Homey Pro without the Aqara Hub? I do not see it on the supported device list so my assumption is no.

Yes, bacause it is a matter device. Matter is a standard across all platforms that support it.

Not currently in Zigbee mode. I assume it does work in thread/matter mode, though not sure which functionalities are supported.

As I understand it, it will add to Homey as a motion sensor. But since its a presence sensor it will stay active (detect motion) as long as someone is detected, unlike a standard motion sensor that resets some time after motion has been detected.
