How did you get the FP2 to show up as a matter device in aqara home app? Mine only allows Homekit

[@MarksTechVlogs]

Did you add it in Aqara home app? Is it in your accessories tab?

[@andrew-anderson]

@@MarksTechVlogs Yep but it does not have the matter logo like my other devices do

[@MarksTechVlogs]

If you can see it in the Aqara app to tweak settings and zones and can see it in Apple Home then that probably doesn’t matter

[@georgesfodjo]

Apart from the Zone detection, how much is it different from the sonoff snzb 06P?

[@MarksTechVlogs]

The main difference is that this is a presence sensor not a motion sensor which means it can detect you even if you’re not moving

[@georgesfodjo]

@@MarksTechVlogs the motion sensor you’re talking about is the sonoff snzb 03 (I guess). The snzb 06P is a presence sensor too

[@MarksTechVlogs]

Ah sorry, so it looks like the Sonoff presence offers a lot of the same features but isn’t Apple home/matter compatible and doesn’t have the zones feature. If you want one without zones that is Apple compatible Meross have one

[@georgesfodjo]

@@MarksTechVlogs I actually use home assistant and thank I never knew meross had one too 👍🏿

The Snub06p is also not recommended for wet areas - so my bathroom automation was ruled out. The angle was also more restricted as I recall, and it has no multi person detection, or masking of disturbances. Fine for a simple presence detection but not as sophisticated as Aqara.
