Description

The Aqara Motion & Light Sensor P2 is a smart dual-function device featuring both infrared motion detection and a light sensor, powered by the latest Thread protocol. With long-lasting dual CR2450 batteries and Aqara’s low-power technology, the P2 ensures reliable, energy-efficient performance.

Thanks to Matter compatibility, it works seamlessly across ecosystems, making your smart home setup more flexible than ever. Perfect for lighting control, energy saving, and enhanced security automations.

Key Features

• Native Matter Support: Enter the new Matter era with ease. No more worrying about different ecosystems or protocols – all you need is a Matter app, a Matter-compatible Thread Border Router, and a Matter Controller. Enjoy simpler, more seamless connections across platforms and ecosystems.
• Independent Light Sensor*: Designed for reliable smart home control, even without the internet. With the Hub M3, your Aqara Home app runs locally, offering smooth device binding for Aqara Thread devices. Hub backups and mirroring add extra reliability – if one hub fails, another takes over. Soon, the M3 will also support direct device-to-device connections, ensuring your smart home keeps working, hub or no hub.
• High Precision and Wide Angle**: The P2 offers a 120° detection angle with a range of up to 7 m (extendable to 10 m via the Aqara Home app) using PIR technology. It also comes with a 360° adjustable stand, so you can position it perfectly for accurate motion detection where you need it most.
• Energy-Efficient and Convenient: Save energy without effort. The P2 can automatically switch on lights or exhaust fans when it detects movement, and turn them off when the space is empty. No more worries about leaving devices running when you’re not at home.
• Local and Remote Alerts***: Place the Aqara Motion & Light Sensor P2 in key areas of your home to monitor unusual activity. Get instant notifications through the app or speaker, and connect it with other smart devices for a stronger, more comprehensive home security system.
• Easy to Install Anywhere: The sensor includes an adjustable stand***** for simple installation on walls, ceilings, or flat surfaces. Its flexible positioning makes it ideal for specific areas, like desks or entryways. Powered by two CR2450 lithium batteries, the P2 also offers one of the longest lifespans among Matter over Thread sensors.
• Exclusive Aqara Home Features: When connected to the Hub M3 and the Aqara Home app, the P2 unlocks advanced functions such as enhanced automations, adjustable detection sensitivity and timeout, motion indication, and a local alert system – giving you even greater control and flexibility.

Note:
* The light sensor functionality may be unavailable with some Matter apps, such as Amazon Alexa.
** The detection angle and the sensitivity may vary depending on the ambient temperature and the distance.
*** Alert/security system function is not available in all the ecosystems (e.g., in Alexa it has a limited availability).
**** The local automation capabilities may vary depending on the Matter ecosystem the product is connected to. For the best possible experience, Aqara Home and Hub M3 are advised.
***** Offline version includes 2 stands.
****** The battery life depends on the particular Matter ecosystem and the number of Matter ecosystems the device is connected to.
******* To connect the sensor to Aqara Home, the Hub M3 and software OTA is required.
