## Project ideas

- A desk-zone presence routine

- A room occupancy dashboard without camera images

## What you need

- FP2, constant USB power, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, Aqara app for configuration and Home Assistant.

- A laptop and coding agent for writing and reviewing your project

## Compatibility and cautions

- Pairing and zone setup require care; the device cannot be paired to two independent HomeKit controllers at once. Radar zones can mis-detect presence. Do not rely on a hobby automation for emergency fall detection.

- Documentation reviewed, not hands-on tested by Atoms for Agents. Generated code needs review before it controls real hardware.

## Creator projects and demos (source-reviewed; not independently hardware-tested)

- [Room-aware lighting in an old house](https://practicalhomekit.blogspot.com/2023/12/occupancy-revisited-aqara-fp2.html) — Practical HomeKit; Build story
  A firsthand FP2 installation across a kitchen, dining space, and living room, with placement experiments and occupancy-based lighting lessons.
  Compatibility (exact): Exact FP2 installation using Apple Home and the Aqara app, not a Home Assistant walkthrough. Expect room calibration, possible ghost detections, and mounting adjustments.

## Planning notes (not a replacement for the original technical instructions)

1. **Confirm the exact model**: Match the hardware label and bundle to the linked documentation. FP2, constant USB power, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, Aqara app for configuration and Home Assistant.

2. **Prove the documented connection**: Follow the original guide and run its smallest supported example before asking an agent to extend it. Pairing and zone setup require care; the device cannot be paired to two independent HomeKit controllers at once. Radar zones can mis-detect presence. Do not rely on a hobby automation for emergency fall detection.

3. **Build one useful behavior**: Start with a desk-zone presence routine. Add logging, sensible timeouts and a manual off switch. Your Home Assistant host uses the paired sensor entities.

## Coding-agent project brief

Help me plan a desk-zone presence routine using Aqara Presence Sensor FP2. Read https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/homekit_controller first. Confirm my operating system, exact model, firmware and required accessories. Use only documented capabilities. Start with the smallest reversible test and ask before moving hardware, flashing firmware or changing credentials. Pairing and zone setup require care; the device cannot be paired to two independent HomeKit controllers at once. Radar zones can mis-detect presence. Do not rely on a hobby automation for emergency fall detection. Keep secrets out of public code.
