*The functionality may vary throughout the different ecosystems
A Better Experience with P2 and Thread Protocol
P2 boasts enhanced connectivity and minimal power consumption when utilizing the Thread protocol. This ensures robust, low-latency, and mesh-capable communication for your smart home devices.
Additional Independent Light Sensor for Better Automations
Compared to the regular motion sensors, the P2 introduces a great feature with its independent light sensor, allowing for separate automation possibilities of light detection. Additionally, this light sensor seamlessly interfaces with Matter, opening up a world of possibilities for enhanced smart home control and customization.
High Precision and Expansive Field of View
The P2 impresses with its wide 170° detection angle and a remarkable range of up to 7 m / 23 ft. Due to its meticulously crafted hardware, this sensor excels at detecting even the most delicate movements with exceptional accuracy.
Easy Installation and Privacy-Focused Design
The sensor comes with an adjustable stand for easy installation on walls, ceilings, or horizontally. This allows precise motion tracking, such as on a desktop. Unlike many other sensors, the P2's discreet design avoids resembling a camera, addressing privacy concerns in spaces like bathrooms.
Receive Instantaneous Alerts and Notifications via Aqara Home
Through the configuration of the Aqara Home Alert System, the Motion Sensor P2 transforms into a dependable and robust security device, safeguarding your home effectively and timely.
Exclusive Features of Aqara Home
Once connected to Hub M3 and the Aqara Home app, P2 undergoes a transformation, acquiring advanced capabilities. This includes refined automation, customizable detection settings, and heightened sensitivity control.
Extended Battery Lifespan - Up to 2 Years
The Motion and Light Sensor P2 features a durable 2*CR2450 Lithium battery, providing an exceptionally long-lasting power source that outperforms many other Matter over Thread sensors, with a remarkable battery life of up to 2 years.
1. The battery life depends on the particular Matter ecosystem and the number of Matter ecosystems the device is connected to.
2. Battery life: for the systems upgraded to Matter 1.2, the battery life is up to 2 years. For Matter 1.1 systems, it is up to 1 year. In case of adding the device to multiple Matter apps, the battery life may be decreased.
