Oh ! 
Bought one yesterday, paired easily today… BUT no quirks 
Do we think we’ll get support for this soon in Z2M and ZHA or are we looking at a couple of months ?
Ta
Will be a while prob until a quirk is added for this one, just keep an eye on things in the mean time.

The Aqara FP1E is ZIGBEE not Thread and only works via Matter with the AQARA hub. It will not work on a Thread border router. At the moment there are no device drivers for it in Home Assistant to use Zigbee directly, but I am sure that will change soon.
The P2 is a completely different device to the FP1e .
Give it a couple of months and I am sure it will be in Home Assistant via ZHA or Z2M or both. It will rely on the developers either getting specs from Aqara or getting their hands on a device, and a lot of device drivers are still added by volunteers, so it depends on available time too.
I guess someone could start a feature request for it if one doesn’t already exist 
For me, the Fp1e works much better than the fp2. Creating the dead zones on the Fp2 is a pain and didn’t work here. I have the washing machine and dryer in the laundry room. When both were working, no matter what I did with the Fp2, I always had a presence message when the washing machine was spinning, for example.
Now it was the same with the fp1e, then I let the ki training run during washing and now the sensor only very rarely triggers under washing conditions. Very good part, unfortunately without brightness sensor but that’s okay

Please allow me a dumb question: will the FP1E (or the FP1 for that matter) act as a zigbee router for the zigbee network? I’m starting my adventures in the zigbee world and I’m trying to educate myself to be able to make wise choices. Or at least avoid the very stupid ones
Edit: I can wait until it gets supported in ZHA.
Thanks.
In ZHA, FP1 does not act like a router. So I assume, FP1E will be the same.

the are down to $99 with free shipping from WA now, just brought two before reading this thread.
Confirmed, end device only. Bummer, will need to use repeaters.
Support for the P1E is WIP in both ZHA and Z2M.
Let’s hope they get to finish it soon.
Cheers
