- Does Aqara run sales?
- Aqara discounts most often around Prime Day, Black Friday and its own anniversary promotions. Outside those windows, list prices hold fairly steady, so a price-history check is the fastest way to see if a current price is actually low.
- Where is Aqara cheapest?
- Amazon and Aqara's own store usually match on list price, and third-party sellers on AliExpress can undercut both on older models. Compare the shipped total, since import sellers often add shipping and lack US warranty support.
- What is the difference between the FP2, FP1E and FP300?
- The FP2 is the flagship: it splits a room into zones, tracks multiple people and detects falls, and needs mains power. The FP1E is a single-zone radar sensor for one area, and the FP300 is a battery-friendly multi-sensor that combines radar presence with light and temperature.
- Do Aqara sensors need a hub?
- Yes for most models. The FP2 works over Wi-Fi on its own, but the FP1E and FP300 use Zigbee and need an Aqara hub or a compatible Matter bridge to reach HomeKit, Alexa or Google Home.
- What is Aqara's return policy?
- Returns depend on the retailer, not Aqara. Buying from Aqara's own store gives a limited return window, while Amazon purchases follow Amazon's standard 30-day policy.
