Aqara Presence Multi-Sensor FP300 Review (2026)
The Aqara Presence Multi-Sensor FP300 is one of the most practical presence sensors released in 2026. It combines mmWave radar + PIR with temperature, humidity, and light sensing in a compact, battery-powered package that supports both Matter over Thread and Zigbee. It solves the biggest limitation of the FP2 (wired power) while still delivering strong presence detection.
Key Specs
- Technology mmWave radar + PIR + light + temp + humidity
- Power Battery (2× CR2450) – truly wireless
- Connectivity Matter over Thread or Zigbee 3.0
- Platforms HomeKit, Alexa, Google, Home Assistant, SmartThings
- Sensors 5-in-1 multi-sensor
- Best for Wireless true presence without running cables
What We Like & What Could Be Better
✓ Pros
- Fully wireless (battery powered)
- Native Matter over Thread support
- 5-in-1 sensor package (presence + climate + light)
- Works with major platforms without a proprietary hub
- More flexible placement than the FP2
- Good balance of features and practicality
– Cons
- Does not offer the same multi-zone mapping as the FP2
- Battery life depends on reporting frequency
- Slightly less precise than the wired FP2 in complex rooms
- Still relatively new — long-term reliability data is limited
Who It’s For
The Aqara FP300 is ideal if you:
- Want true presence detection without running a power cable
- Prefer Matter over Thread for multi-platform flexibility
- Need temperature, humidity, and light data in the same device
- Value easy placement over maximum zone customization
It’s less ideal if you specifically need the advanced 30-zone mapping of the FP2.
Verdict
The Aqara Presence Multi-Sensor FP300 is the best wireless presence sensor available in 2026. It keeps most of the FP2’s strengths while removing the power-cable limitation, making it far more practical for many homes.
Buy if: You want battery-powered true presence with Matter support.
Skip if: You need the deepest multi-zone control — get the FP2 instead.
