    The FP1e is a revised version of the FP1 that has been available in most of Asia for a while. I imported a few. That one (FP1) does work with HA out if the box and it has a reset function to tell it when a room is empty. It also has settings for sensitivity and distance inside HA.

    Great Video this week. Compare it now with Sonoff's SNZB-06P. Zigbee, detachable cable, under $20 and did I mention it's compatible with other Zigbee border routers and bridges? I used mine with ZHA and HomeAssistant, but best with Third Reality's Smart Bridge MZ1.

    • @ON8AD
      @ON8AD 3 місяці тому +1

      SNZB-06P is indeed a very good one, with detachable cable. A bit less range maybe compared to this, but has an ambient light sensor (bright/dark). The latest firmware (1.0.6) is great: no ghosting, fast response. Works as router as well.

  • @ALaModePi

    The FP1e: I'm really pleased to see this device in particular. I've got an FP2 running automations in my living room (turning on the TV when someone sits down at the couch, turning on desk lamps when people are sitting at the desk, and even one for motion in the living room when no one's at home.) It's a gem and I've been thinking about picking up another one but the price has been pushing it down on the "acquire" list.
    "should only trigger when there are humans in the room.": This is quite important, because we have cats and, as you might be aware, even some devices that advertise as "pet-friendly," can't always distinguish between a cat presenting it's butt and a human. There's probably a self-depreciating joke in there somewhere, but I'll leave that to your imagination (knowing full well it's probably already gone there.)
    "I have the high ground" with clown music: I'll confess, I've never thought of that, but now I see what I was missing. Music really does add so much to scenes (or, in this case, change the tone radically.)
    The comparison of FP2 and FP1e was really helpful. As usual, knowing what something can and can't do before I get it is a real boon for that planning thing that I rarely do anyway, but at least I could.
    Hardwiring: Agreed. I'd much prefer a cable that I can replace. ZigBee, but you might still need the Aqara hub: I'm kind of used to this really. There seem to be a lot of devices that you have to set up using the app/hub and then you can use without it. The FP2 is an example. Still, it would be nice to have a work-around.
    50 quid: I'm still surprised that 50 quid translated through the manufacturer becomes $50 US, but it seems to be the case quite often. You're right, dropping that to $40 for a device that won't turn off the lights when you stop moving is worth it. I'm hitting that link right now.
    Thanks again for a great review on a product that I am picking up after I get done typing this.
    Well done. I'm excited to see what's next, even if it has a "It just works" gag with it.

    Two potential answers to your AI latency challenges:
    1. HA 2024.12 brings some nice improvements to use LLMs combined with the inbuilt sentence parsing which should make the simple stuff much faster.
    2. Instead of OpenAI, try the extended openai conversation integration that allows custom endpoints. With some fiddling around you can get it pointed at the Cerebras endpoint for absolutely insane performance with Llama 3.1 instead. That's what I've been messing around with and I'm starting to see some good results.

  • @TerraMagnus
    @TerraMagnus 3 місяці тому

    My favorite presence sensor right now is from Athom but it’s running ESPhome so it’s really opinionated in favor of Home Assistant. The Aqara is better looking but demerits for the cord design and need for a hub.
    I know this video isn’t about the FP2, but I do have some envy for that products ability to establish different zones in your room with presence automations for each.
    Like imagine you’ve got automations that run just by virtue of you being in the room, but others just because you’re sitting in a specific seat. Most presence sensors can’t do this. Kudos to the FP2 for that level of ambition.

    I wish my FP1E was as reliable as yours. It's in the bathroom to just control the lights and at least twice a day it continues to recognize presence after I've left the room. Unfortunately, no other way to reset it besides running the "Spatial AI Learning" which evidently has a learning disability... 🙄 Going to try a factory reset, but if that doesn't change things I may just return it in favor of the Everything Presence Lite I impulse bought after a lot of annoyance with the FP1E. I'm kinda limited on placement because of power outlets and the inability to use another USB cable. Any other ideas? Firmware up-to-date. Automations are running in HA through the Aqara M3 hub, but obviously it's a device problem and not the automation...

    While the FP2 also works with Home Assistant through the Homekit Bridge, it only exposes the light sensor and the zone binary sensors. You can't do the AI learning thing in Home Assistant with the FP2 either, so unless, like you said, someone develops a ZHA or Z2M 'driver' for it, I think we'll be stuck with using the Aqara app for most of the settings. Personally, I can live with that.

    • @JoshFisher567

      Someone will get it working using Z2M, it will just be a while. The FP1 works with zones but I think it was added way after its release. Below is from the Z2M site. It's just a matter of waiting 6+ months or more probably. I doubt it will ever work with ZHA though.
      Device allows to add up to 10 detection regions, each composed of any number of zones in a 4x7 detection grid, visualized below:

    • @JoshFisher567
      @JoshFisher567 3 місяці тому +1

      If you're already running HA then no, but those features you mentioned that come with it may not be for everyone if they need longer range. I imagine the 5-8 meters that the HLK mmwave sensor that's shipped by default is good enough for 95 percent of people but the DFRobot one in the original did 25 meters, which is overkill for most and doesn't support zones, which is why I quit using the espresense one. Zones are a must for these to be useful .
      The good thing is it supports 5 different mmwave sensors so you have options. The downside is finding one as they are always sold out. It's also 38 now (US) as they switched to injection molding plastic for the case instead of 3D printing them.
      They did get the FP1 to work in zigbee2mqtt with support for 10 zones, so pretty sure they will with this, it will just take time (like 6 months plus probably). Buying the FP2 is still the better option if you had to use aqara though.

    Aww its Saturday and another great video, hope you and family are well. Wow £50 is still a lot, I've gone for the Everything Presence Lite at a bargain £28, which can do 4 zones, track 3 targets and has a light sensor, oh and works in Home Assistant :) It is however tricky to configure, some more detailed documentation would help there (Lewis). Have a great weekend

    I wish they could have made this battery operated given they put it on Zigbee instead of WiFi. A lot of my PIR style motion sensors are in positions where it would look kind of ugly with a cable running down the wall. I love the idea of these millimeter wave devices, but just would be nice if they could do a battery operated version.

      Built an mmwave sensor using DFRobot mmwave sensor, it lasted half a day on a 2000Mah battery. These are just too power hungry, or they would need a huge battery to last more than a day or two.
      I wouldn't have high hopes for a battery powered one regardless of its Zigbee or WiFi. Maybe if it needed to only be on an hour or two a day, then you could use the RTC of an ESP32 to turn it on and off at specific times.

    I have a Alexa echo dot 4 with zigbee hub, but what really annoyes me, is that I cannot just by any zigbee push button and control lights that are attached to Alexa. What is that all about? It sees the button as a switch and makes it useless to control a lamp with. Cant be to difficult to fix that.

      @JoshFisher567 3 місяці тому

      Is it PIR or mmwave? Mmwave can detect a human heartbeat and extremely small movements like breathing (60Gh one can read a person's heartbeat).
      PIR sensors are faster but mmwave (with zones) is way better. I bought one of the first ones without zones and they are almost worthless as they will detect any moving object like fans, even minor motion.
      An mmwave sensor is perfect for detecting someone being lazy in a couch, a PIR sensor will trigger something but won't detect continuous small movements.
      It's pretty crazy how accurate the FO2 app is at mapping rooms and telling where people are, and telling it to ignore areas like ceiling fans, ect.....

    Only problem is you HAVE to have an Aqara HUB at ADDED cost with either sensor and I have too many hubs already and do NOT want another one to make room for, maintain, power, and all that. It becomes TOO costly when I can buy a simple PIR sensor for $18 USA and it turns my lights on and actually pair it to Alexa to do basic routines which is all I really need. I have a Link-N-Link radar/temp/IR hub and get MANY false triggers from it and is disappointing to say the least.

    • @paulhibbert
      @paulhibbert  3 місяці тому

      A PIR will turn your lights on, but either not turn them off, or turn them off whenever you stop moving. Neither is acceptable to me personally.
      As I said in the video, I agree it’s a shame you need an aqara hub, but they do a camera that is a Zigbee hub, so you could combine those two things and have a security camera AND a hub in one

      @@johnszatkowski6898 it’s not looking for movements, it stays on if there is a body in the room and goes off if there isn’t. That said there is an AI mode that is doing other checks as the radar can be confused by mirrors and stuff so it may also be watching for movement to determine if an object is human.
      Difficult to comment on the BroadLink sensor as my experience had been good (at least in close quarters) I think a lot of people had issues with it due to its relatively short range.
