Better than FP2 for the price

"Just started using the eMotion Max. It connects locally to Home Assistant via MQTT which is huge for privacy. I chose this over the Aqara FP2 due to the price, and so far I'm really happy. The 60GHz radar is very sensitive."

Perfect for Home Assistant users

"I've been looking for a presence sensor that works locally with Home Assistant and this is it. The MQTT setup was straightforward. It detects presence even when I'm sitting still reading. The built-in light sensor is a great bonus."

Works well

“Needs good wifi. "Works well. Needs good wifi. Rumor has it after 1/1/26 they will introduce something with better ability to stay connected. Overall solid performance."

Multi-zone tracking is a game changer

”I bought the Max for the zone detection feature and it works great. I have one zone for the sofa and one for the desk. It knows exactly where I am in the room. This allows me to trigger different scenes based on where I'm sitting.“

Impressive tech, strong adhesive

"The device is sleek and looks futuristic. The presence detection is spot on – no more waving arms to keep lights on! One tip: the 3M adhesive is VERY strong, so plan your mounting spot carefully before sticking it to the wall."

Perfect for Living Room Automation

"This handles my large open-plan living room perfectly. It tracks up to 3 people simultaneously which is amazing. The history logs in the app are also very detailed. Highly recommended for advanced smart home users."

Great HA integration via MQTT

"Works well and connects to Home Assistant using MQTT no problem. Range is just about the 6 mtrs on the specs. Beware this device is very touchy about power supplies—needs a stable 2A adapter. Otherwise a good product."

Cool sensor, easy setup

"These things are very cool. I wish the distance it tracked was longer for the presence sensor but I get it. Wasn't difficult to set up and have it linked with home assistant. I'll add more when I get my automations set up."
