Hi all, I hope somebody can help out, perhaps it’s a limitation of Matter/Thread in Home Assistant at the moment but the Aqara P2 motion sensor which is matter over thread does not have the same sensors and configuration options as the Aqara P1 ZigBee sensors I have.
The P2 only has illuminance and occupancy sensors.
The P1 has illuminance, motion and occupancy.
The P2 has no adjustments in the confusion UI
The P1 has detection interval, led trigger indicator and motion sensitivity.
Is there a reason the P2 is not adjustable in home assistant?
Also I’m not sure the lux level is being picked up on the P2 correctly, is this a current HA limitation as it’s detected 1 lux most of the time until it triggers the light to turn on and then picks up the light level at that moment. It’s in a hallway and the light is definitely above 1 lux most of the day.
I hope someone smarter than me in this site knows more and can help.
I need to adjust both the sensitivity and detection interval as I did with the P1
I actually ran into the same frustration with my Aqara P2 - the lack of configuration options in the HA UI was driving me crazy.
I ended up writing a Python script that lets you configure Matter device attributes directly via Home Assistant’s Matter Server. It’s been working great for adjusting the HoldTime (detection interval) on my P2 sensors!
