I would expect it to turn on when I go to bed and off when I get out of bed.
That is not possible. It is a presence sensor.
@Asterix
Did you program it with zigbee or matter?
Position it so that it covers the area next to the bed where you get out.
The FP300 cannot distinguish whether you are lying down or standing up.
I use it with Zigbee. I placed the sensor directly above my bed, but during the night, while Iâm sleeping, the presence sensor deactivates and reactivates at least 5-6 times. If I had associated a flow with the sensor, the light would turn on 5-6 times during my sleep.

If I understand correctly, because itâs a presence sensor, it should remain active as long as Iâm lying in bed (even if Iâm still while asleep). After a few seconds of getting out of bed and leaving the room, the presence sensor should deactivate. Am I doing something wrong?
No, a presence sensor stays active as long as it detects a certain amount of water (like a human).
Be careful where you point it at, walls and glass do not block the sensor (as opposite to Infrared motion sensors), itâs very well possible it detects something behind glass or wall. A ceiling might not block it as well, it involves a lot of fine tuning and repositioning.
But I think you should tune the sensitivity threshold, detection range and motion hold (if possible with your sensor)
Motion hold for example, reduces these short âundetectedâ events.
With my sensors all of this is still not 100%âwatertightâ for longer presence periods (several hours), I always use the same flow as I use with my motion sensors:
Yes.
mmWave technology (Radar): Detects waves that reflect on people. Even the micromovement of a chest when breathing is detected, so that the system knows that someone is still there, even if they are still sitting still.
Joke?
@Jan_Albert He probably meant in the bathroom while showering
Body water content plays a large role on why these sensors can detect humans so well.
@Asterix , is your screenshot from Homey or the Aqara app. Asking as I have an FP300 connected to Homey but donât see the setting for distance.
Does the Aqara app on the Homey add any value? I have tried installing the FP 300 with and without but I did not notice any difference (and I am trying to keep my Homey as clean as possible)
