Aqara has now launched its official 2025 Prime Day sale, delivering some of the best prices of the year and some historical new all-time lows on its multi-platform smart home gear. Alongside a host of price drops across the Aqara ecosystem, you’ll will find some particularly notable offers and some more rare discounts on on its smart bulbs, water sensors, and leak detection systems to safeguard your home while away this summer, as well as its Matter hub for universal control over your entire setup. Scope it all out below.
Aqara Presence Sensor FP2
Aqara’s Presence Sensor FP2 is actually a whole lot more than the name might suggest. A wonderful way to expand the reach and breadth of your existing setup, it delivers a ton of new intelligent features and capabilities to your smart home at 34% off the going rate for Prime Day. Regularly $83, you can now introduce this multi-function sensor to your setup down at $54.99 shipped.
In many ways, you can think of the Presence Sensor FP2 and its millimeter-wave radar as a significant upgrade of the traditional PIR motion sensor. One limitation of PIR motion sensors is its failure to detect a person while he/she is still. When you’re reading or enjoying a movie, you may have to wave your hands occationally so that your motion sensor won’t switch off the lights. But the true power of the FP2 sensor is its capability to monitor activities in multiple zones. Users can set up up to 30 zones, such as sofa, bed, or desktop zone, and trigger different automations when presence is detected in each zone. It can even track up to 5 persons at the same time.
The FP2 also has a built-in light sensor, allowing users to automate lighting settings based on both room occupancy and ambient light level.
Connecting over Wi-Fi, the FP2 presence sensor doesn’t require any hub, and works with major smart home platforms including Google, Alexa and Apple Home. Additionally, the FP2 sensor has a Fall Detection mode, which is particular useful for senior citizens who are more vulnerable to fall injuries. It can also provide sleep monitoring, tracking sleep duration, stages, heart rate, and respiration.
- Automatically adjust lighting settings
- Can provide “non-wearable sleep monitoring tracks sleep duration, stages, heart rate, and respiration, enabling personalized automations like custom wake-up scenes.”
- Fall Detection Mode when mounted on the ceiling 30 zones – set up individual automations for each zone, “such as sofa, bed, or desktop, and much more.
