[ST Edge] Aqara FP300 (Zigbee)

Had this sensor connected via Matter and worked perfectly with (only) presence detection on my Aeotec Hub V3, sometimes it had a small delay of changing status.

Then I just installed this driver for Zigbee but the presence and PIR are also slower to change their status to normal. The PIR never changes to ‘no movement’ on its own, he keeps following the presence status. Also he keeps saying it has an empty battery.

Is this a known issue?

No. See the screen recording.

Let’s wait for the next firmware update and see if these issues are fixed. We’ve seen reports in the Aqara forum and on Reddit that some devices are just faulty and must be replaced.

It doesn’t really work reliably with their own hub…

Happiness all around in this thread. Doesn’t make sense to work on this driver before the device works reliable on their own platform.

Thanks for the driver! Working well except for the battery status. I get the message “no battery” instead of percentage. Should I change some settings?

I’ll have a look at it when I have the firmware update that is currently being rolled out.

Edit: currently running it in Thread mode, because it doesn’t make a difference anyway. The issue is on the sensor side of the firmware (or even the hardware). The Aqara FP2 on the other hand uses a sensor from Texas Instruments that comes with its own firmware/SDK. Took two firmware updates until it became absolutely reliable.

Wasn’t the Zigbee firmware supposed to get much better battery life compared to the Thead mode?

Thanks, interesting thread, glad it isnt just me getting the paused status. guess i will start work on the new double socket while I wait :slight_smile:
