Wireless Human Presence Sensor LWR01 vs Presence Multi-Sensor FP300
Buy the Aqara FP300 if you want presence detection plus temperature, humidity and light readings, and you already run Zigbee or Thread with a hub. Buy the GL.iNet LWR01 if you want the simplest battery-powered mmWave sensor with a wider assistant list and a lower price. The LWR01 has been $38.99 to $39.90 since October 31, 2026, and the FP300 has been $46.75, so the gap is roughly $7 to $8.

Questions and answers
- Which is better for a bathroom?
- The LWR01. It is IPX3 spray-proof in battery mode, and the FP300 has no water-resistance rating.
- Which lasts longer on batteries?
- The FP300. Aqara rates it up to 3 years on Zigbee and 2 years on Thread, against over a year for the LWR01 on AA cells.
- Is the FP300 worth the extra money?
- Yes if you want temperature and humidity readings and a wider 120° view. If you only need presence triggers, the LWR01 saves about $7 to $8.
- Do either need a hub?
- The LWR01 needs a Thread border router for Matter. The FP300 works over Thread with a border router, or over Zigbee with an Aqara hub for advanced features.
- Which detects still people better?
- The FP300 combines PIR with 60GHz radar and AI learning, which Aqara says reduces missed detections. The LWR01 relies on radar alone.
- Which works with more assistants?
- The LWR01 lists Google Assistant, Alexa and Siri directly. The FP300 lists Alexa and Siri, with Google Home reached through Matter.
