Aqara Motion and Light Sensor P2 Features:

* The light sensor functionality may be unavailable with some Matter apps, such as Amazon Alexa.

** The detection angle and the sensitivity may vary depending on the ambient temperature and the distance.

*** Alert/security system function is not available in all the ecosystems (e.g., in Alexa it has a limited availability).

**** The local automation capabilities may vary depending on the Matter ecosystem the product is connected to. For the best possible experience, Aqara Home and Hub M3 are advised.

***** The battery life depends on the particular Matter ecosystem and the number of Matter ecosystems the device is connected to.

****** To connect the sensor to Aqara Home, the Hub M3 is required.

Aqara Motion and Light Sensor P2 Automations Examples:

1. Granular light control for more comfort and energy saving

IF Motion is detected at the desktop, WHEN Every day from 18:00 to 23:00 , THEN Turn the desktop light on

Install the P2 in each zone of the room which is lit independently, and the lighting will follow you around the room: the desktop lights will be turned on right when you sit by your desktop, the bar counter strip will light up when you start making the drinks and more.

2. Use the Light Sensor for Energy Saving

IF Brightness exceeds 500 lux, WHEN The outdoor temperature is high, THEN Close the curtain

When the sun is too bright, the P2 will be able to help you to automatically close your curtains to prevent the sun from heating the room when it’s not needed and drastically save on cooling bills.

3. Fully automated light control based on motion and brightness

IF Motion is detected, WHEN Brightness is lower than 100 lux, THEN Set the Ceiling Light to Bright Cold White , THEN Turn on the Ceiling Light

You will be able to schedule different automations based on the brightness in the room to achieve circadian lighting and ambient control: the light will change its color temperature according to the time of the day and turn on or off only when it’s really needed.
