Aqara FP300 ghost / false PIR triggers

Hey everyone I wanted to get some help from folks here that are a lot more knowledgeable than I am.

I have a few FP300 sensors and they all seem to have their PIR sensor ghost / false triggering. I have switched the sensors to zigbee and use zigbee2mqtt to connect to home assistant. Aqara support is basically useless as they don’t support HA integration as it’s not integrated via their hub.

Background info:

  • presence detection option set to BOTH ( mmWave & PIR)
  • sensitivity set to LOW
  • I’ve ran the AI spatial learning
  • AI sensitivity adaptive option is on
  • I turned off all my central air and heat and anything that moves air

I use the PIR sensor to trigger my light as it’s much faster than presence

  1. What am I missing here ?
  2. Does turning detection mode to mmWave just disable the PIR sensor ?

Any advice from your experiences is appreciated

z2m support FP300 fully, i use 3 device and works perfectly. have you setup fp300 for room size? in exposes under device in Z2M. and sure you don’t have something can give you false trig. mine never give me false trigger an have set they up after room length.

Can confirm what you’re seeing after the latest firmware update.

Before that, I’d get false PIR triggers only on Medium or High. Now with the new firmware I get constant false positives on the PIR & false negatives on the mmwave sensor. Basically, my device is useless now.

I’ll be trying out higher sensitivity & disabling the PIR to see if that works. I suggest you do the same so we can compare notes

Great yea I’m on latest firmware . I can turn off the PIR. However mmWave is less responsive than PIR. I emailed Aqara, however it’s useless as there isn’t any in stock . PIR has much faster response .

So I paired it with an Aqara motion sensor. So my automation triggers the light using that motion sensor trigger rather than the fp300 PIR which false triggers. Then I use the mmWave for the rest of my automation

You are talking about the direction range toggles??
