Review: Rapid sensor with easy link to HomeKit. - Excellent, rapid sensor. Connects with matter so no need to use a manufacturer app, straight into HomeKit. Replaced an Eve motion sensor which never worked this well. Battery life to be decided. It says up to 5 yrs. Battery easy to switch though.
Review: Stay away from this product - too many false positives - This sensor is useless. It gives too many false positives and not viable at all as a security sensor. Better add few more bucks and get a better one from other vendors. This is a big let down from Aqara as I have been an avid user of their products.

## Features

- [Native Matter Support over Thread] The Aqara Motion and Light Sensor P2 seamlessly integrates with the robust Matter platform and is compatible with Apple Home, Google Home, desertcart Alexa, and Samsung. (*NOTE: The P2 currently DOESN’T SUPPORT the Aqara Home app, but it will soon with added features through the Matter-compatible Aqara border router). -Based on the Thread protocol, Sensor P2 provides enhanced connectivity, low-power consumption, high reliability and Low latency. Meanwhile, with the FFS feature, the Motion and Light Sensor P2 will allow for seamless connection with your home network through desertcart Echo devices.
- [2-in-1 Sensor] The Aqara Motion and Light Sensor P2’s built-in infrared and light sensor monitors the presence of people in an area, and monitors the lighting values, allowing you to easily achieve automation for various tasks in your home, such as flexible automations for curtains and lighting. Compared to the Aqara motion sensor P1, the Motion and Light P2 includes a separate light sensor that can be used independently for automations, apart from motion detection, and is compatible with Matter. (*NOTE: Alexa DOESN’T SUPPORT light sensor functionality)
- [Wide Viewing Angle & Detection Range] The P2 sensor can detect movement across a wider area range of up to 7 meters/23 feet, at an angle of up to 170° horizontally, and 45° vertically. The data is from laboratory testing, conducted in a 25 °C / 77 °F environment. It also comes with a versatile 360° stand, that allows you to easily adjust the viewing angle, and it can only trigger the sensor when it’s needed. The detection angle and the sensitivity may vary depending on the ambient temperature and the distance. The device comes with medium sensitivity by default, but you can set the various sensitivity levels on the Aqara Home APP later according to seasonal changes or needs.
- [Energy Saving & Alert System] You can integrate the Motion and Light Sensor P2 with your smart home ecosystem to enable advanced automations and energy efficiency. Imagine how fun it can be! You’ll be able to schedule different automations based on the brightness in the room to achieve circadian lighting and ambient control. Moreover, the automations are executed without the cloud, which can protect the user’s privacy and will keep working even if there is no internet connection. At the same time, it also supports voice alerts and status notifications through voice assistants.
- [Easy to Install & Long Battery Life] Thanks to its compact wireless design and adjustable stand, the Sensor P2 can easily be installed on a wall, ceiling or a particular zone, and set up with ease. The Motion Detector and Light Sensor P2 has a powerful 2*CR2450 Lithium battery and provides up to 2 years of power for round-the-clock security, one of the longest battery life among Matter over Thread sensors. (NOTE:The battery life depends on the particular Matter ecosystem and the number of Matter ecosystems the device is connected to)

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rapid sensor with easy link to HomeKit.
*by S***7 on 5 December 2025*

Excellent, rapid sensor. Connects with matter so no need to use a manufacturer app, straight into HomeKit. Replaced an Eve motion sensor which never worked this well. Battery life to be decided. It says up to 5 yrs. Battery easy to switch though.

### ⭐ Stay away from this product - too many false positives
*by D***A on 9 November 2025*

This sensor is useless. It gives too many false positives and not viable at all as a security sensor. Better add few more bucks and get a better one from other vendors. This is a big let down from Aqara as I have been an avid user of their products.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with homekit and home assistant
*by L***N on 9 April 2024*

I was able to add this to Homekit and Home Assistant with ease! Positives - Small footprint compared to Eve Motion - Cheaper than Eve Motion - Matter over thread Negatives - Sticky pads needed if you want to mount it somewhere - Unable to change sensor settings without yet unreleased aqara hub (9/4/2024) - Light sensor only updates when motion is triggered Hopefully in the future Aqara hub won't be needed to change settings. Eve Motion lets you change settings with Eve app. Maybe in the future Home Asisstant Matter support it will let you change settings.
