Aqara Motion and Light Sensor P2 vs Eve Motion

Wide coverage or long reach? Among these two Matter-over-Thread motion sensors, the Aqara Motion and Light Sensor P2 is the overall winner, taking price, connectivity (Bluetooth for pairing) and a 170º angle of detection that sweeps far wider than the 120º of the Eve Motion. It is also compact at 33.1 x 33.1 x 41.6 mm and rated for 2 years on 2 CR2450 cells. The Eve Motion counters with the better owner rating, a longer 9m / 30ft range against 7m / 23ft, an IPX3 splash rating and history records, which suits long hallways and covered entrances. Both need a Thread border router, detect motion and light, and work with Google Home, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter; tuning sensitivity and timeout needs an Aqara hub on one and Apple Home on the other. Buy the Aqara to cover a whole room from a corner, the Eve to reach down a corridor.
