Aqara FP2 Presence Sensor (Amazon)
The Aqara FP2 is what makes these bedroom automations feel intelligent instead of annoying. I use its mmWave presence sensing and zone mapping to know exactly where someone is (Josh side, Sarah side, foot of bed) so the lights only come on where they’re needed—without false triggers from tossing and turning.
Pros
- +Zone-based presence sensing is ideal for bedside automations
- +Less prone to false triggers than typical motion sensors
- +Zones expose to Home Assistant as binary sensors (occupied/not occupied)
- +Adds lux data in the Aqara app for smarter gating
Cons
- -Placement is critical to cover the whole bed area accurately
- -Position updates can take a couple seconds as you move
