Meross Battery Powered M605 Matter over Thread presence sensor available to preorder

This is now available for preorder.
The price looks ok for a matter over thread presence and illuminance sensor, and it’s discounted on preorder (to £25.99). Delivery supposedly in December. I’m tempted, but then I jumped at the sonoff one only to be disappointed. I’d like to know to what extent it’s configurable from SmartThings and or the Meross app before taking the plunge.

I like how they market it as a 4 in one device, one of the 4 being its battery :grin:.

Drat. Look what you made me do. Looks like I’ve somehow ordered one. :roll_eyes::grimacing:

Is the presence sensor like a motion sensor but much more accurate?

Details here

Thanks ordered 4 for $90. After the FP300 debacle I hope these work, I have a MS600 which is working OK.

Apparently no multi sensor support for Smartthings though, which is disappointing

Not something I would miss, perhaps it will be available later.

A little disappointing but not a deal breaker for me. Maybe it will come later with an updated driver.
Does the Aqara multi zone presence sensor support multi zones within ST, I suspect it does, so it ought not to be a deficiency of the ST UI. Mind you this being matter it ought not to need a bespoke driver.

The FP2, yes

If I understand the M605 zones correctly, it’s only distance based. So a single axis instead of both axis like the FP2. Cool to see, but not quite zones like FP2. Am I reading that right?

Yes, but not supported in SmartThings.(yet?)

From meross,

Three-Zone Smart Scene Control: Divide the detection range into three customizable zones in the Meross App. Each zone can independently set presence/absence conditions and appears as separate sensors on third-party platforms for advanced automation. Examples:Study: 5m → main light on; 2.4m → desk lamp on. Bathroom: 6m → night light on; 4m → bathroom light on; 1.6m for 1s → mirror light on. Smart detection, precise presence sensing, flexible installation — all in one!
