The Aqara Presence Multi-Sensor FP300 (PS-S04E) is a next-generation, battery-powered presence sensor that uses dual detection technology: a 60 GHz mmWave radar detects even subtle movements such as breathing or slight body motion, while the PIR sensor quickly reacts to larger movements. This ensures that lighting, HVAC, or alarm systems remain active even when someone is quietly sitting or sleeping in the room.
The FP300 supports both Thread and Zigbee connectivity and is Matter-compatible, making it easy to integrate with the most popular smart home platforms. Its built-in light, temperature, and humidity sensors provide additional data for advanced automations, such as brightness-based lighting or humidity-triggered ventilation.
Thanks to its battery-powered, wireless design, the device can be flexibly placed at the optimal location in a room. With a wide viewing angle of approximately 120° and a detection range of up to ~6 m, it can cover entire rooms while software-based filtering helps avoid false alarms caused by curtains, fans, or small pets.
