Aqara Zigbee3.0 Motion Sensor P1, 5-Year Battery, 150-170° Detection

This is an amazing little motion sensor. I was used to the larger, old-school sensors, so I was pleasantly surprised by how small and discreet this one is. Once mounted, it blends into the background so well that you barely notice it. Performance-wise, it’s excellent. The integration with Zigbee and Home Assistant works flawlessly, making it ideal for automations. I’ve set up automatic lighting, and the motion-triggered on/off functionality works perfectly every time. Overall, this is a fantastic device—reliable, unobtrusive, and easy to integrate. I would definitely recommend it to both beginners and more advanced home automation enthusiasts.

I’ve been using the Aqara Motion Sensor P1 for a few months now, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my smart home setup. The installation was a breeze—no tools required, just stick it up with the included adhesive and you’re good to go. The detection range is impressive: up to 7 meters at 150°, and even wider at closer distances, so it easily covers my hallway. I also love the built-in light sensor, which means my lights only turn on when it’s actually dark and someone walks by—super handy for saving energy. Integration with my smart home was seamless. It works perfectly with HomeKit and Alexa, and automations are easy to set up. I use it to trigger lights depending on light levels, and it hasn’t missed a beat. Overall, the Aqara Motion Sensor P1 is reliable, flexible, and packed with features that make it a must-have for anyone looking to automate their home. Highly recommended!

Disappointing that a "brand new" product would arrive with 44% battery level. Ordered two at the same time and the other one is at 100% so I am confident it's not a reading or metering error. I'm really worried that this is not going to have a five-year battery life, as in the product title. Beyond that, the device itself is great, and getting up and running was easy with Home Assistant.

Totally reliable, integrates with Smartthings really well. Previously had a different brand and had issues with connectivity / not giving movement sensors. Switched to Aqara and it worked instantly; no issues and totally reliable.

Great when it works. Battery life not as advertised. Ridiculous battery replacement procedure/mechanism. Just put mine in the bin because the force that is required to pull the battery container out makes it easy for it to break.

I've had this up in my house for just over a year now. It's small enough to be discreet when placed in the corner of a ceiling and nice and easy to position with its moveable attachment to its base. I have this connected to home assistant via a sonoff zigbee dongle plus and ZHA. It integrated very quickly and has been working flawlessly since installation. The entities exposed are shown in the attached picture. I particularly like the fact that its got a built in light sensor which I use for a lot of my light automations to determine when its dark enough to require lights to turn on. The product description says that it has a 5 year battery life. Mine has been up for almost exactly 12 months and the battery is now reading 70% having started at 100%. Of note, it's in a very high traffic area of the house and looking through the past data, it went from 100% to 60% in the first 2 months. It's then mysteriously gone from 60% to 70% over the following 10 months....so who knows! Its quite a bit more expensive than the sonoff motion sensors, but I think the light sensor and ability to easily alter its position make up for this.

Great sensor. Bear in mind the maximum range is directly in front (around 6.5m for me) and reduces quite rapidly either side. Sticky pads provided are powerful and pulled a chunk of plasterboard off the wall when I had to remove it to adjust it! Next time I'll use a scraper to try and unstick the pad instead of just pulling on the sensor. I'd recommend taping it in place to make sure you're happy with the alignment before permanently sticking it with the pads.

Very reliable and easy to connect to your system. Its quite sensitive as well and good value. Cant comment on battery life yet but very pleased with the item

Der Aqara Bewegungsmelder P1 (wichtig die Modellnummern zu unterscheiden) hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen und ist die ideale Ergänzung für mein Smart Home. Die Einrichtung war super einfach und vor allem die Integration in Home-Assistant ging reibungslos. Innerhalb weniger Minuten war alles konfiguriert und einsatzbereit. Zuverlässigkeit und Vielseitigkeit in der Anwendung Die Zuverlässigkeit und Empfindlichkeit des Bewegungsmelders ist beeindruckend. Bewegungen werden präzise erfasst und in Echtzeit an mein HA weitergeleitet. Mit dem Bewegungsmelder habe etwa folgendes realisiert: -Anwesenheitssimulation: Diese aktiviert sich, wenn ich nicht zu Hause bin. Der Bewegungsmelder registriert für bestimmte Zeit (24h) keine Bewegungen und sorgt dafür, dass abends Lampen in verschiedenen Räumen automatisch ein- und ausgeschaltet werden. So sieht es aus, als wäre immer jemand zu Hause -Automatisches Nachtlicht: Der Bewegungsmelder sorgt dafür, dass sich nachts zwischen 0 und 6 Uhr das Licht im Flur oder im Badezimmer automatisch einschaltet, sobald er eine Bewegung erkennt. Das Licht bleibt so lange an und schaltet sich nach 5 Minuten ohne Bewegung wieder aus -Heizungssteuerung: Durch den Bewegungsmelder wird die Heizung mitgeregelt. Erkennt der Sensor 30 Minuten lang keine Bewegung, wird die Raumtemperatur automatisch abgesenkt. Nach 24h noch weiter. Bei Bewegung geht es wieder auf den ursprünglichen Wert zurück -Benachrichtigung bei unerwarteter Bewegung: Falls der Bewegungsmelder Bewegungen zu untypischen Zeiten wie während meiner Arbeitszeiten erfasst, erhalte ich sofort eine Benachrichtigung auf mein Smartphone. Eine gute Ergänzung zu meiner smarten Alarmanlage Design und Batterielaufzeit Das kompakte Design des Bewegungsmelders passt unauffällig in jede Umgebung und stört nicht. Zudem hält die Batterie überraschend lange, was den Wartungsaufwand gering hält und dafür sorgt, dass der Sensor immer einsatzbereit ist. Fazit Der Aqara Bewegungsmelder ist eine super Wahl für jeden, der sein Smart Home erweitern möchte. Für Home-Assistant-Nutzer ist er eine klare Empfehlung!

Bez problemu odpalam nim światło w garażu dzięki współpracy z Home Assistantem (ZHA).

This is a pretty good motion sensor. Time will tell with the battery life, but overall I am pleased. TLDR; THE GOOD: - You CAN pair with Home Assistant directly if you have a Zigbee coordinator - Fast and responsive at detecting motion - Good field-of-view - There is a built-in illuminance sensor if you want to create automations based on the brightness of the room - Pretty much all THE NOT AS GOOD: - Pairing was a little clunky - even with the first-party hub - Home Assistant is not able to detect the firmware version GOOD TO KNOW: - You don't need the first-party Aqara hub to use this device, but you do need some kind of Zigbee coordinator - You loose some functionality if you don't use the first-party Aqara hub. - Unlike some of Aqara's other products (FP2, FP1E, etc.) this is NOT an 'occupancy' sensor - it is a motion sensor. This means that while it's good for transitional spaces (like hallways or laundry rooms), you probably DON'T want to rely on it to detect people sitting still. - If you are pairing with Home Assistant via Zigbee it exposes a 'Motion' entity and an 'Occupancy' entity. The Occupancy entity never seems to clear (at least for me) so I just disabled it. The Motion entity works great and is the one you want to base your automations around. FULL REVIEW PAIRING WITH AQARA M3 HUB: I started by pairing the P1 with Aqara's first-party M3 hub. Paring was a little clunky only because you have to be VERY close to the hub for the initial pairing to work at all. Once paired you can move the sensor a lot further from the hub (more on connectivity later) but it seems like it might initially provision the device using Bluetooth, so I had to basically be in the same room for the device to pair properly. After that, pairing was totally fine. CONNECTIVITY I have the Aqara hub and the sensor 2 floors away (the P1 is in the basement laundry room which is also has all the utilities, so basically the worst case scenario for connectivity). I had one day when I noticed the connection dropping, but generally I was impressed with it's ability to remain connected to the Aqara hub given how challenging the set up was. If I moved the hub to a more central location or added an Aqara product that could act as a Zigbee repeater I feel confident that I wouldn't have any problems (most of Aqara Zigbee products that connect to mains power can act as repeaters - light bulbs, LED strip lights, smart plugs, smart wall switches, etc.). FORM FACTOR The form factor of the P1 is a little weird. On the one hand, having the swivel-neck mount gives you lots of options for position, but it makes it pretty noticeable. There are definitely better options if you want a discreet look. The adhesive that it comes with to stick to the wall / ceiling is also VERY strong. This is great for stability, but it will almost definitely damage a painted surface if you try to reposition it (I ended up using a Command Strip instead to make repositioning easier in the future). The way the sensor connects to the base is also a little weird. There is this 'togue-and-groove' system that makes it very easy to remove the sensor from the base (to replace the battery for example) without removing the stand for wherever it is adhered to, but it's a little tricky to get back on correctly. PAIRING WITH HOME ASSISTANT If you don't have an Aqara hub you can pair the P1 directly to Home Assistant using the Zigbee coordinator of your choice (I'm using the ZH1). There was one very weird issue though, and some missing functionality. - As mentioned, an 'Occupancy' entity gets exposed to Home Assistant. I was never able to get this entity to report as 'clear' - it only ever showed 'detected', so I just disabled it. This was a little weird and could be confusing (maybe the P1 shares some firmware with their MMWave sensors which DO detect occupancy?). The 'motion' entity that gets exposed works really well. - The built in lux sensor gets exposed to Home Assistant with no problems - The battery percentage took some time, but eventually was exposed to Home Assistant correctly - Detection interval, LED trigger indicator, and Motion sensitivity are all exposed properly through just the regular old Zigbee integration (I'm not currently using ZigbeeToMQTT or anything fancy) - The firmware version is NOT currently being detected, but I will update this review if it eventually gets picked up correctly. Overall, this has been a pretty good motion sensor. I've had some minor but understandable connection issues, but generally it performs the primary function of detecting motion very well and I really like that, since it uses Zigbee you are not stuck in Aqara's ecosystem if you have a more bespoke set-up. Great job Aqara!
