Thanks! I just bought an FP1 for my kitchen and have implemented your setup. Works great!
@StumblingGamer648
This is the 3rd video of yours I've watched... And I just have to say that... You sir... Are a legend! In those 3 videos... You have covered the highest points of frustration that I've had, and... How to fix them. I am switching from smartthings to home assistant and your videos have got me stoked! (parts in the mail). 🙌🏼
@suzithewitch
Thanks for the links for the FP1! They were sold out when I clicked on the links, but I checked back a couple of times and was able to get two of them at the reduced price!
@giovannetarcitano
You also can use the presence event of the FP1, which one triggers immediately by sending the 'enter' event!
@geekinthegarden3927
Nice video, I have the Tuya presence sensors set up and paired with motion sensors. Personally at the moment I prefer having seperate sensors rather than one sensor does all - that way the motion sensor is positioned at it's best location to trigger when someone enters and the mmwave sensor is positionel in the best locaion to cover the areas where people will occupy. Having one sensor doing both jobs means that I might have to compromise on the position of the sensor and possibly have a delay in switching on/off or false negatives/positive.
@alexandrelara7161
Thank you for the video, I bought 2 of those but I'm still waiting they arrive :D. I think you can achieve the same, just by using your FP1 sensor, instead of looking for the `presence` state (that only check if it is true or false) you can subscribe, in your Home Assistant, for the `presence_event` that returns: enter, leave, left_enter, right_leave, right_enter, left_leave, approach, away. The presence_event is instantaneous so you can just watch for the value to be "enter" and it's going to work basically as a motion sensor
@EsotericArctos
I can see using the FP1 in conjunction with a standard PIR motion sensor to do the complete automation. Given I already have PIR motion sensors everywhere so a couple of FP1's added to specific areas could work quite well. I think I would keep my on automation using just the PIR given that just works and have the FP1 just saying the room is occupied. That way the FP1 won't give false positives to turn on the lights if the motion detector is not triggered first.
@kristopherdecaigny8211
Thank you! This video was perfect for understanding how to use my new FP1
@olivierleplus
I ordered two a week ago and al waiting to receive them. My main concern was about HA integration but it seems they integrate quite well :) Thank you for the video and all the screenshots, that will help me configure everything once I receive them!
@fontie
Hey Alan Great video please don't forget to post the steps for this on your blog....Thank you
@ezhe
Can you configure the detection zones of the fp1 sensor via the Home Assistant in the same way as you can do in the Aqara app?
@Paulruk
Thanks for the helpful video Alan. I have just bought the FP1 sensors but just can't get them to work well in HA. I have a delay setting to turn off lights after 5mins once motion detection stops but the automation doesn't reset if there is movement since the original loss of detection so you end up with the lights going off when your in the room. Any ideas?
@emanbuoy7673
hi, thank you so much for your help, what smart vacuum will you recommend ..i see you have one in this video. thank you for your help
@abwino
Thanks very much for this video, I had been wondering how to combine PIR and Presence! HA has so much depth it's scary! Great video.
@therealsunnyk
One thing I really struggle with is the power usage of a lot of these sensors. No one mentions them so I can' calculate a break-even. If it's for lights but it consumes like 2 watts 24/7 and the lights are only 5 watts and on for maybe 3 hours a day at night, I might be better off just having the lights on at night, energy wise.
@drawzeywazig9096
Exactly what i was looking for!
@EdoDijkgraaf
One step further Lewis’ Frankenstein combined with ESPresense. That would be marvelous.
@MrLaurieLewis
Hi Allan. Sorry if i’ve missed you doing a comparison with Lewis’s sensor. I am assuming you have done a comparison between the two by now. So 2 questions. Here in Aust Lewis’s unit costs about $130. Aqara FP1 + Aqara motion sensor $85. So is one almost twice as good as the other? Next question and probably the most important - ceiling fans. Any experience or opinions? My fans usually run 24/7/365 in the 3 rooms i am considering for microwave detection. Keep up the great work.
@wapphigh5250
Alan, now you gave added ESP bluetooth home presence, have you simply added that as a third "sensor" in yr "presence group"?
