At CES 2026 Aqara announced the P100, a multi state sensor. For object and open/close monitoring.
It uses a CR2450 battery.
In the box there are two mini booklets, the sensor and protective cover handy when you place it where it can get wet. Though its stated to only be used indoors.
It can be used in Thread and Zigbee. But in Threads you can see it misses a lot of sensors with firmware 1.0.0.2
The Object Monitoring is only supported in Zigbee protocol with an Aqara hub. In this mode it will detect movement, tilt, vibration, and fall events in 3D space, while also monitoring orientation (face up or face down).
So with Matter you will miss out on support for sliding doors / windows, rolling gates, garage doors, 360-degree rotating doors and drawers for now.
Setting this sensor up was really easy to set up. Remove the tag so the battery start working, scan the QR code with HA for Matter and place it where you want it, calibrate for the correct state. I was done in less than 5 minutes.
My personal opinion is that you get more value out of this sensor when using it in Zigbee Mode.
Below the automation I have set up right now.
Plan to also add one so it turns off the radiator thermostat when my shutter is open for a set amount of time.

Nope not at all paid or motivated to do so by any company.
Perhaps remove the text what you feel is an advert and leave the information about the setup and limited functionalities.
But this is just my way of sharing information.
So not sure why it got moved to âshare a projectâ and not left in Hardware.
You might want to move Sensereo MSC-1 Smoke & CO detector as well then.
Because thatâs where other stuff similar is put. Hardware is more for specific hardware problems, recommendations for solving individual problems topic. I found this thing or I did this thing are more sharing info kinda topic.
I asked about the ad topic because we have had mfgrs do that and it was a problem between HA and the mfgrs. Not a problem with the users necessarily. It was a way they could get âpaidâ ads here by discounting the users who bought in trade for a post on how great it was. Fine on YouTube, it has to go thru staff first here.
@Sir_Goodenough, solving a problem most people do not have is the quintessence of Home Assistant and this community. Just because you lack the creativity to find a use case for this product does not mean this post is an advertisement.
@Ves, thanks for testing it out and giving some additional information that the product page does not offer.
Have you tried the sensor on either a sliding door or window? I'm potentially interested in the P100 for this use case but am struggling to see how it would detect a 1 dimensional change in position.
Their site says "[Open/close monitoring]...does not support sliding doors / windows, rolling gates, garage doors, 360-degree rotating doors and drawers. To detect these, it is recommended to switch to "Object Monitoring" mode and detect through movement or tilt."
Personally, I wouldn't use object monitoring for a sliding door or window. If I'm understanding it right, then you could have a window thats fully open and someone closes it a bit but not fully, and the sensor would read it as closed since it moved. The object monitoring seems like it would work best with something that can only ever be fully open or fully closed (i.e. most garage doors).
Looks like they stopped selling "the kit". Anyone want to 3D print some cases (with screw ears) that might screw on a gate? Yes I know these are "indoor use only".
The hardware category is for discussions about hardware devices. For example, you could talk here about whether WeMo switches are good, how to set them up in general, and alike. But if you want help configuring them with Home Assistant, use the âconfigurationâ category.
For me this thread was to create a discussion about the P100 since there wasnât one.
Iâm not trying to show of a cool automation or configuration which is what this forum you moved it to is for.
It was just a place to hold a discussion about a product that uses Matter/Thread that doesnât involve us having to going to Discord.
No, I didnât set it up on a sliding door (donât have one to even try it). As mentioned by templeowls the open/close entity doesnât support it.
It has every indication of being a product review based post. There wasnât a tag for that a month ago but there is now, I added that today as well.
If you think it is something different move it there. Iâll leave it alone. I go thru the forum daily to add tags and move new posts to provide some constancy in future searches and give it the best chance of being seen. You can at any time move it where you want and Iâm not going to argue.
