The new Aqara FP2 Presence Sensor is an absolute game changer for your smart home automations. The FP2 is a mm wave presence sensor that can detect even the smallest movements. No more false triggers! Plus it features zone configurations, fall detection, a light sensor and so much more. **UPDATE** The Aqara FP2 sensor already sold out on Amazon stores. It is expected to be back in stock in early May. Once it’s available to purchase, I will update this description with a new discount code (check back and follow me on my other social channels for updates!) Thanks to Aqara for sponsoring this video.

Finished installing the SwitchBot Blind Tilt. I got mine into HomeKit using Homebridge. You do need the SwitchBot Hub mini to use these in Homebridge. There is a lot to like about this little device including an included solar panel, a light sensor, the fact that I don’t have to mount anything to the wall, and I can still use the tilt want and raise the blinds manually if I want. #homekit #applefan #applehome #shanecreares #smarthome #smarthometechnology
