This facilitates a range of\u00a0use scenarios\u00a0from\u00a0automated lighting\u00a0and\u00a0security enhancement to climate control. The sensor also measures light intensity independently of motion detection3, enabling sophisticated lighting\u00a0and window covering\u00a0control\u00a0for optimal comfort and energy efficiency. Engineered for longevity, the Motion and Light Sensor P2 boasts a robust battery life of up to two years, ensuring dependable\u00a0operation\u00a0with minimal maintenance.<\/p><p>As a Thread-enabled device, the Motion and Light Sensor P2 connects to any Matter controller with Thread Border Router functionality, and allows use across multiple compatible platforms thanks to Matter&#8217;s multi-admin feature. Furthermore, the sensor offers a few Aqara Home exclusive features such as customizable sensitivity and detection timeout settings for tailored performance4. Users can fine-tune both parameters through the Aqara Home app, which requires Aqara&#8217;s own Thread-enabled Matter controller, for example the upcoming Hub M3.<br \/><br \/>As part of Aqara\u2019s expanding Thread-enabled product line, the Motion and Light Sensor P2 exemplifies the Company\u2019s dedication to elevating smart home experiences through enhanced interoperability and simplicity. Additional Thread devices from Aqara are expected in the coming months, including the aforementioned Hub M3 and the retrofit home access solution Smart Lock U200.<br \/><br \/>The Motion and Light Sensor P2 is now available in\u00a0Aqara\u2019s Amazon brand stores in North America (US, Canada), Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, UK) and Asia (Japan), as well as through select Aqara retailers worldwide5.<br \/><br \/>For more information on this sensor, please visit our website.<br \/><br \/><br \/>1. A Matter controller with Thread Border Router functionality is required for the connection to the corresponding Matter-enabled system. <br \/>2. Based on the internal lab test, measured under the ambient temperature of 25 \u00b0C (ca. 77 \u00b0F)\u00a0and high sensitivity level.<br \/>3. Illumination sensing functionality is not available on Alexa at\u00a0the time of launch.<br \/>4. By default, the sensor is set to medium sensitivity and a 30-second detection timeout.<br \/>5. Product availability may vary by\u00a0retail channel. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(New York) April 9, 2024 &#8211; Aqara, a leading provider of smart home solutions, today announced the availability of the Motion and Light Sensor P2, its new generation motion sensor built upon the Thread protocol\u00a0and the industry-unifying Matter standard.\u00a0The native Matter connectivity offers\u00a0unparalleled compatibility across smart home platforms including\u00a0Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, and &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/kinsta-demo.aqara.com\/us\/news-us-2\/aqara-expands-thread-product-portfolio-with-a-new-motion-sensor\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Aqara Expands Thread Product Portfolio with a New Motion Sensor<\/span> Read More \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":73300,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","footnotes":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"categories":[116],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-us-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kinsta-demo.aqara.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73306"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kinsta-demo.aqara.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kinsta-demo.aqara.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kinsta-demo.aqara.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kinsta-demo.aqara.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73306"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kinsta-demo.aqara.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73306\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":73309,"href":"https:\/\/kinsta-demo.aqara.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73306\/revisions\/73309"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kinsta-demo.aqara.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kinsta-demo.aqara.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kinsta-demo.aqara.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kinsta-demo.aqara.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
