Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 vs Meross Smart Presence Sensor

Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 wins on capability, with multi-person zone tracking, a wider 120° versus 90° view, 7m reach, IPX5 water resistance and fall plus sleep modes. Meross Smart Presence Sensor is cheaper, rated higher by owners, and supports Matter natively, which the FP2 lacks.

Sophistication versus simplicity. The FP2 maps rooms into zones, follows up to five occupants and offers special fall and sleep modes, but needs patient tuning against ghost detections. The Meross answers one question, is the room occupied, with PIR plus mmWave, and its native Matter support makes setup nearly effortless.

For Matter, the Meross Smart Presence Sensor: it is Matter over Wi-Fi out of the box. The Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 has no Matter support, though it does work with HomeKit directly, reporting presence as a simple occupied or empty state rather than a person count.

The Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 covers a 120° arc to about 7m across 40 m² of mappable zones. The Meross Smart Presence Sensor scans 90° and holds static presence to about 6m, with motion detection reaching 12m. Both include light sensors; only the FP2 handles multiple people.

Choose Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 for multi-zone rooms, families where several people share spaces, humid locations needing IPX5, or if fall alerts and sleep tracking appeal. Its power is real once you invest the setup time.

Choose Meross Smart Presence Sensor for reliable, stillness-aware occupancy in an office or living room at a lower price, with native Matter making it a first-class citizen in HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant. Zone fine-tuning still uses the Meross app.
