The Aqara Motion and Light Sensor P2 is a cutting-edge device designed to enhance your smart home ecosystem by offering dual functionality; it detects motion and measures light levels. This compact sensor leverages the advanced Matter over Thread protocol, ensuring seamless compatibility with major platforms like Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and SmartThings. Its built-in infrared sensor accurately monitors motion, while an independent light sensor provides precise ambient light readings, allowing for sophisticated automation setups, such as controlling lights and curtains based on occupancy and light conditions. Technically, the Sensor P2 boasts a wide detection range of up to 7 meters and a viewing angle of 170° horizontally, making it ideal for comprehensive coverage in any room. The device operates on a low-power, high-reliability Thread network, which ensures minimal latency and exceptional connectivity. It also includes a versatile 360° adjustable stand for flexible installation. Users can customize sensitivity settings via the Aqara Home App, allowing for adaptability to different environments or seasonal changes. The sensor requires a 2-in-1 Matter Controller & Thread Border Router for optimal performance, with compatibility confirmed for hubs from Apple, Samsung, and Amazon, among others. For optimal operation, the Aqara Motion and Light Sensor P2 requires a functional Matter-enabled network setup, including a compatible Thread Border Router. It is powered by two CR2450 lithium batteries, providing up to two years of battery life depending on the usage and the number of connected Matter ecosystems. This sensor is designed to function independently of cloud services, ensuring privacy and continued operation even without an internet connection. When installing, ensure the battery tab is removed to activate the device.
