Aqara Presence Sensors Compared: Which One Do You Have?
Five Aqara presence sensors, three integration paths. Find your model, see which run on Zigbee2MQTT or HomeKit Controller, and what each needs to stay local.

Home Assistant's Aqara integration has no setup flow of its own. What it is, how to add Aqara Matter devices locally, and what not to confuse it with.

Aqara's FP2, FP300 and FP310 all run local in Home Assistant, by three different routes. Which one fits a Zigbee2MQTT setup, and what each one costs you.

Aqara/Xiaomi Zigbee on Zigbee2MQTT: which firmware you can update locally without the app, which needs a one-time app step, and the FP300 exception.

Switch the Aqara FP300 from Thread to Zigbee, pair it in Zigbee2MQTT, and run it locally in Home Assistant with the full configuration entity set.

FP2 and FP300 are very different sensors with very different HA integration paths. The honest comparison for a local-first Home Assistant setup.
