Best mmWave presence sensors for smart homes
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 2, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: Aqara Presence Sensor FP2. It's the one most people should start with: a 60GHz radar sensor that tracks presence across a whole room (not just motion), handles multiple zones so lights can follow you around, and it's the best-supported option for HomeKit, Alexa, Google and Home Assistant setups.
Who the others suit:
- Aqara FP300 — if you want a battery-friendly PIR + mmWave hybrid that's easy to place anywhere, with Alexa and Siri support.
- SwitchBot mmWave Presence Sensor — if you're already in the SwitchBot ecosystem and want a simple, cheap room sensor.
- Aqara FP1 — if you're on Zigbee with a hub and want a wall-mounted radar sensor for a single area.
- LD2450 module — for DIYers building their own sensor with ESPHome or Home Assistant; it's a bare radar board, not a finished product.
- Toyanc / Tuya-based sensors — budget picks for a single room, but expect fiddlier setup and less polish.
Avoid the unbranded Tuya listings if reliability matters; they're the cheapest way in but the least predictable.
