So far I have installed only one… so after the initial succes I did not repeated yet this operation… so could be, that I forgot this step or somehow got lucky 
Yet another option to remeber for the future, I have another 2 pcs waiting for confiduration this weekend
I’m having an issue adding FP2 Presence Sensor via HomeKit controller. It says “Unable to Add Accesory” when attempting to add to Apple Home. Anyone seen this or have an idea what might be the issue?
Does anyone know where these FP2 devices are currently in stock?
I’ve noticed after trying to bind my fp2 sensor to a specific access point, it will simply refuse to connect. Not sure why but it seems that it only likes to listen to one of my two access points and not the other one (running a dream machine and ac pro). The access point it likes (the pro) is oddly enough way further away and has a pretty bad connection to it. The other AP (dreammachine) is one wall away and it will connect for a minute or so before dropping the connection. During that time it has a 100% connection quality rating but this doesn’t seem to matter at all.
I had the same issue. The fix was to make sure phone is connected to WIFI 2.4 and when I enter the code for device, select device not listed, then if finds device. Good luck it took me 2 days of trying.

Ok, got one in from AliExpress today and haven’t been able to complete the setup in either the Aqara app or through HomeKit. Kept failing at the binding step and giving an “add failed 74” error. BUT then… it suddenly showed as available in HomeKit Controller, so I pulled it in. Now I’ve got three entities (presence, lux, & identify) in HomeAssistant, but it still doesn’t show up in the Aqara app and won’t let me add it again because it thinks it has already been added. So the good news is I can using it in HomeAssistant. Bad news is I can’t set up the zones or any of the configuration.
Anyone out there have any ideas?
I had same issue till I noticed in the aqara app I had to go under accessories to see them.

Update: Was able to get the FP2 successfully set up by using an iPad. Never had any luck with the iPhone, but iPad worked straight away. Have some concerns with the accuracy, but continuing to play with the settings.

Did you solve this. I’m also having trouble and have HA in docker / portainer environment.
Ya, it was a networking configuration problem. I had my home assistant docker on a custom docker network, in which case the home kit integration doesn’t discover the device. Once I switched the docker to use the host network it worked fine. I’m sure there’s some kind of mDNS reflector thing you can configure to make it work on a custom docker network but I haven’t had the time to look into it.
Just noticed new version of iOS app is available, but I’m not home… curious to learn how much (if) it is improved over last version…
Thanks. Changing to Host didn’t solve the problem for me but it did spark automatic discovery of smartthings and nest which could be useful.
Not sure how to progress with f P2 though.
Maybe you can configure a hidden 2.4Ghz network on each AP?!
Most of the smart devices are using 2.4Ghz anyway…
The AP seems to be the issue for me, both broadcast the same 2.4Ghz network but the FP2 sensor only wants to connect to a single one. Tried switching channels as well, but no dice
Make sure your server and the fp2 are on the same vlan. That’s the only other issue I can really think of.

Hi, I m really struggling to get a setup with this FP2 as all my lights and things are from different companies and need to find a way into home assistant yellow with if possible Android devices if not what will be the easiest and cheapest way to try to get it to work? as I moment the Fp2 can do nothing from my Alexa or Google to my lights and LEDs. The company I purchased said I needed a iPad or some form of using iPhone which I really don’t want to start messing with it if I can. I also have no clue on phones at all now! And I’m more into trying to get my medical devices working with it to warn me!
Hi,
I don’t understand? What brand(s) of lights are you using?
Are you struggling to add the lights to HA?
The Aqara FP2 can be added to Home Assistant with the Aqara Home app on your phone in combination with the Homekit Controller integration for HA.
