Aqara FP300 not exposing presence entity

Configuration Zigbee
1

hey,
I bought the Aqara FP300 but I struggle to connect it to HA. I have the Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle with other Aqara devices connected and that works fine.
When I pair the FP300 via Zigbee, it sometimes stays stuck at “Configuring” and sometimes it completes sucessfully. In both cases, the configured device does not show any “presence” entity thought.

I tried adding it directly Zigbee2MQTT and the device seems detected correctly there. I don’t use Zigbee2MQTT in HA though.

My versions are (HA is running in a docker container in a rpi)

Core 2026.1.1
Frontend 20260107.1

any tips?

I ended up using only Zigbee2MQTT and removed compeltely the Zigbee HA integration

There is also a general topic if case people are looking for more information.

Was it a pain to migrate? I’ve already got 12 devices working perfectly :frowning:

If zha works fine with 12 device, stay on. and buy new coordinator and setup Z2M. Support more device and exposes. for FP300 you need to use Z2M, zha not support much.

buy Smlight Slzb 06M or 06MG24, very good and stable, use usb power and LAN, much safer aand what wifi and POE power up can cause.

if move zha device, you need to delete from zha and pair them in z2m.
i have 3 FP300 and works very well

So you have 2 USB zigbee dongles one for your FP300s and one for your others? I have 30+ zigbee devices no way I’m reconnecting to ZHA…

In yelling at clouds why can’t I get the info on ZHA and need Z2M??? urgh
