I don’t see an option to change the cool down time in ZHA. So do you know how long it is?
Cool down seems to be 20 seconds for my 5 in the house.
I actually bought it and received it yesterday. Have been testing it constantly because I was having issues at first. But it seems to be working good right now. Hopefully it stays that way.
As for the cool down. It has been inconsistent in my testing. It’s often less than 10 seconds if I appear and walk away immediately. But if I’ve been sitting in front of it for a good while and then leave, it has taken around 20-40 seconds.
Which is fine, I’m not looking for super low cool down times. I would have been satisfied by a minute if that was normal. Gotta keep testing it though to make sure it’s reliable enough to keep.
You might wanna return it if you’re a patient person. They’ll be releasing the FP300 very soon 
As long as the FP1E is performing well, I’ll be keeping it. It’s for my computer area where I’m often at for long periods of time. So I much rather have a wired presence sensor there.
But I do want a wireless one for both of my bathrooms. So I may get the Aqara depending on reviews and if others become available around the same time.
Interesting. Although so far the Aqara presence sensors have been pretty crappy if you ask me. Hopefully there’s a new sensor in the FP300 with better algo.
Definitely agreed on the wired part. If you get bored with your Aqara, switch to a cheap Wenzhi Sensor from ali express. I have FAR better results with those than with Aqara.
I’m pretty happy with the FP1E now, but it took me 2 tries to get it right. The first one I got started having major issues. I swapped it for a new one and it has been nearly flawless for a week now so I’ll be keeping it.
But you piqued my interest. Which Wenzhi sensor do you have? I did try a Wenzhi one a while back. But after adding it to ZHA, it gave me no sensor entities. That was the one that resembles the FP1E in design. I’ve never tried the flat square shape one.
I have this one:
I’m using it in several rooms/locations and mostly it works 100% perfectly. But in 2 rooms it struggles a bit more, still not sure why.
A problem with this specific sensor though is that it spams zigbee quite a bit, but you can patch it (which I did) and then that’s gone.
The Wenzhi uses the ICLEGEND S3KM111L sensor module. There are several other sensors that use this too so which people generally do like a lot, like the Apollo MSR2 or the LD2410B
I’ve bought three of them, and a few days ago, I unpacked one to replace an old Sonoff cheap presence sensor. The FP1E is a big disappointment so far. More specifically:
- The “Presence” sensor sometimes is not updated until I hit the refresh button in z2mqtt.
- The “Movement” sensor is always in “no_presence” or “no_movement.” It completely fails to detect any movement.
As a result, it is working, but only sometimes. Paired with z2mqtt via SLZB-06p7.
So, at the moment, I don’t exactly know what to do or who to blame. Aqara? SLZB? Any ideas? Anybody having similar issues?

Is it too late to get a replacement or return them? I just mentioned my own experience with the FP1E. The first one had a ton of issues. Got a replacement and the 2nd one has been nearly flawless.
No, it’s not too late. I bought it from Amazon.de, and it is covered by the EU warranty. What issue exactly did you have with your first device?
I regret not buying the FP2s, which have been working flawlessly for years now in my setup. But for the bedrooms, I didn’t really care about zone detection, so that’s why I was looking into them.
At first it would get stuck on detected even after I had left for a longer period of time. I would reset the presence and it would get stuck again. I attempted a factory reset and removed it from HA and reconnected it.
That seemed to have only made things worse though because it started to not detect me at all. That was the final straw for me and I sent it back. The new one got stuck on detected one time. Other than that it has been perfectly fine. Hopefully it stays that way.
At least older versions of these wenzhi sensors spammed over zigbee in a way that it could bring down your whole network if you use multiple of these devives:
There is a way to fix this e.g. using a USB-Programmer with a modified firmware,
but I would check upfront if this problem is fixed for currently sold devices.
yeah just like I said 
And again, like I wrote, if you don’t want to go through patching the Wenzhi you could get one of the other sensors with that ICLEGEND S3KM111L sensor module like the Apollo MSR2 or the LD2410B. Imho that S3KM111L easily outperforms the Aqara. Then again, it seems some people in this thread are happy with theirs, so maybe there are different hardware versions or maybe it’s something in my/their rooms which causes the different experiences.

Was on the run when I’ve seen your post and replied later without rereading it completely.
So somehow missed that you already wrote that warning, sorry.

I’ve exactly the same setup (slzb-06p10 & aqara fp1e) and the same problem, do you have solved the problem meanwhile?
Yes, I’ve resolved it with a trick, and so far it works fine without a single failure.
I’ve created a template occupancy binary sensor that checks if the reported distance is greater than 0 and turns on the sensor.
template options is:
{{ (states('sensor.motion_sensor_bedroom_rear_target_distance') | float(0)) > 0 }}
Then, in my automations, I’m referring to this binary sensor. It’s 100% reliable.

I found when trying to pair with Hubitat, you had to pair twice or more, it would then stay online, else it would depart after 30 secs.
I did the same with my new install of HA with these sensors.
They do need a bit of tuning , like best approach range (should this be around where you want to keep the presence active?)
I did wonder how the ai learning could be done from HA (i paired with the aqara hub to try this out, also to upgrade firmware on the device, as I dont think that is enabled in HA, maybe they have an unknown proprietary?)
