Aqara Motion and Light Sensor P2

The Aqara Motion and Light Sensor P2 has been designed to provide accurate motion detection and real-time ambient light monitoring while supporting the modern Matter over Thread standard for seamless smart home integration. By combining a high-precision PIR motion sensor with an independent light sensor, reliable automation control is delivered for lighting, climate, and security scenarios across multiple platforms. Native Matter compatibility ensures simplified pairing, broader ecosystem support, and consistent performance without dependence on proprietary systems.

Built with Aqara’s low-power technology and powered by dual CR2450 batteries, long-lasting operation is ensured while maintaining responsive performance. The compact form factor and adjustable mounting options allow discreet placement on walls, ceilings, or flat surfaces. Whether used to automate lighting based on presence and brightness levels or to enhance home security through alerts and automations, the Motion and Light Sensor P2 is engineered to provide dependable and flexible smart home functionality.

Key Features

Native Matter over Thread Support
Native Matter compatibility allows the sensor to be added directly to Matter-enabled platforms using a compatible Thread Border Router and Matter Controller. Cross-platform connectivity is simplified, enabling smoother integration across different ecosystems.

Independent Ambient Light Sensor
A built-in light sensor monitors illumination levels, allowing lighting automations to be adjusted according to real-time brightness conditions throughout the day.

High-Precision PIR Motion Detection
Motion is detected using advanced PIR technology with a wide 170° field of view and up to 7 m range, extendable to 10 m within the Aqara Home app, ensuring reliable coverage of targeted areas.

Energy-Efficient Local Automations
Automations can be executed quickly and efficiently, such as switching lights or fans on when motion is detected and turning them off when the area becomes vacant, helping to reduce unnecessary energy usage.

Local and Remote Alarm Capabilities
Alerts can be triggered locally or remotely through connected apps and speakers, while integration with other smart devices enables expanded security scenarios.

Flexible Installation Options
Two adjustable holders are included, allowing wall, ceiling, or horizontal placement for precise sensor positioning in various environments.

Exclusive Aqara Home Enhancements
When paired with Aqara Hub M3 and the Aqara Home app, additional features such as customizable sensitivity, detection timeout, motion indication, and local alert configurations become available.
