The Aqara Motion Sensor P1 detects movement with high sensitivity long range and Apple HomeKit support for advanced automation.
Overview
The Aqara Motion Sensor P1 is a premium motion detection solution for those building a serious smart home. The 7-metre detection range with a 170-degree field of view covers significantly more area than typical budget sensors which usually manage around 5 metres. Beyond just motion it also includes temperature and ambient light sensors giving you three data points from a single device. The Zigbee connectivity through the Aqara Hub ensures reliable low-power communication and the battery life is an exceptional 5 years so you install it and forget about it. Apple HomeKit support is the headline feature here it enables advanced automations that simply are not possible with basic sensors like triggering scenes based on room occupancy time of day and light level combined. It costs more than the basic sensors and you need the Aqara Hub but for HomeKit users building a sophisticated smart home the capabilities are unmatched.
Key Features
- 7-metre detection range with a 170-degree field of view covers significantly more area than standard sensors
- Apple HomeKit support enables advanced automations and secure integration with the Apple ecosystem
- Requires Aqara Hub for Zigbee connectivity which provides reliable low-power communication
