About this item

  • [Native Matter Support over Thread] As one of the first sensors to support Matter, the P2 supports access to Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Samsung SmartThings. (*NOTE: The P2 currently DOESN’T SUPPORT the Aqara Home app but will support it and add more features in the future through the Matter-compatible Aqara border router.) Meanwhile, as a sensor based on the Thread protocol, the P2 provides enhanced connectivity, low-power consumption, more stability and low latency.
  • [Open/Closed Status Monitoring] With a built-in high-precision Hall sensor, the Aqara Door and Window Sensor P2 can detect the opening and closing status of doors, windows, and drawers precisely. Once the sensor is triggered, it will send real-time alert notifications to your smartphone whether you're at home or away, ensuring you're always aware of any potential security concerns. (*Note: the functionality such as automation conditions may vary throughout the different ecosystems.)
  • [Local Home Automations] You can integrate the Door and Window Sensor P2 with your smart home ecosystem to enable advanced automations like adjusting thermostat settings or activating security cameras when a door or window is opened. Moreover, the automations are executed without the cloud, which can protect the user’s privacy and will keep working even if there is no internet connection.
  • [Voice Alerts and Status Notifications] The Aqara Door and Window Sensor P2 supports Apple Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant. With these voice assistants, you can receive alerts about events such as door entries, or ask whether a door is open, allowing you to effortlessly monitor your home.
  • [Matter Compatibility] A Matter Controller & Thread Border Router 2-in-1 is required to enjoy seamless integration with a Matter-enabled smart home ecosystem. Currently, the following hubs are tested, but new hubs will be added over time. Apple: Apple TV 4K (3rd gen, 128 GB), Apple TV 4K (2nd gen), HomePod (2nd gen), HomePod mini | Samsung: SmartThings Hub v3, Aeotec Hub v3, SmartThings Station | Amazon: Echo (4th gen) | Google: Nest Hub (2nd gen), Nest Hub Max, Nest Wi-Fi Pro.
  • [Easy Installation & Long Battery Life] With its compact design and adhesive back, the sensor is easily integrated into any interior. Additionally, equipped with a powerful CR123A battery, it provides uninterrupted protection with infrequent replacements.* The battery life may vary depending on the border router and Matter app the sensor is connected to. For best results, the future Aqara border router is advised.

    A great HomeKit contact sensor
    4 out of 5 stars
    A great HomeKit contact sensor
    The new matter supported Aqara door/window sensor works seamlessly with HomeKit right out of the box. This one has thread so if you don’t have an Aqara hub, it will still work as long as you have a border router (HomePod, etc). If you do have an Aqara hub and other Aqara devices, this one cannot be used in the Aqara app for automations, etc.A couple of things that I didn’t enjoy — getting the unit to open to reveal the battery is extremely difficult. Also, the sticky tape provided for the larger piece did not stick well enough to my door frame and fell off after a couple of hours. I had to use a thin layer of 3M double sided tape to get it back on.Otherwise, great buy and addition to a HomeKit smart home.

    These are wonderful, but you have to do a few things if you're having issues. I tried connecting one and it was not working at all. So I tried to set up another and the same thing happened.

    Since both were not working I figured it was something with my network. Turns out my mesh router (Google Nest Wifi Pro) was conflicting with my router (whatever ATT gave me). The ATT router had its WiFi signals enabled for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz so when the set up was happening, it was picking up both WiFi connections from my phone. I disabled the signals from the ATT router, and they still weren't working, but I wanted to try a third just in case, and it magically connected easily.

    Since that started working, I wanted to troubleshoot the other two that were still having issues. I figured hat during the setup, the devices remembered the settings so I needed a way to reset them and start fresh. I saw a video from their YouTube account that you can factory reset if you press the button 10 times.

    Once I did that, both connected easily.

    I bought 13 of these and never had an issue setting up the other 11 after the network issue / factory reset took place. They are easy to set up and don't get in the way.

    Finally I used the extra magnets that came with each device on my fridge, lol.

    a disclaimer: I actually use this as a way to tell if my deadbolt is locked or not rather than the door being closed. But for everything else my impressions are the same.
    This is a pretty good product! I pull it out of the box. Set up a new device in google home. Scan the QR code. Wait a minute for google to finish the set up. Stick it where it needs to be stuck. Reapply it with some duck tape after the sensor fell off a few minutes after I set it. Yeah, the adhesion is great... after the glue has had time to set properly. So far that first time was the only time it's fallen off in the month that I've had it. So you just need to make sure that it is supported in some way for at least a few hours to a full day and it should be good after that.
    The software experience was almost dumb in how simple it was, which is exactly how a smart home device should be. It should be as close to plug-and-play as possible. The Matter standard makes this semi-feasible. I needed it to have matter for a different reason though. The long and short of it is that I don't have access to 2.4 ghz wifi, only 5ghz. So any smart device I get has to be able to connect to my nest hub in some way. Previously this meant scrouring for the rare smart devices that could connect to it with Bluetooth. But now that Matter is getting into the swing of things I actually have some options. And through matter its actually faster to respond than my old wifi and bluetooth devices! The bad news with that is that Matter is still a very new standard. With that come a few trade offs:
    1. you need a matter hub
    2. The new tech tax is certainly in effect here.

    While I'll take having an expensive option over having none at all. 30 dollars for a door sensor is pretty steep. (I got it on a black friday sale for around 20 though so keep checking if you want to save some money) But thats just something that comes with the territory I guess. So far all of the matter devices I'v bought have been more expensive than non matter counterparts. I'm sure as time goes on Matter will get support accross the spectrum of smart devices and prices will go down as the tech matures. But for right now we are still in the early adopter phase and you'll be expected to pay a little more..

    As far as the sensing part of things. It works. That's about it. It actually comes with 2 magnets which is nice. A pretty, white pill-looking one. As well as a flat, plain metal one that you can use instead of the pill if your situation demands a smaller profile. I do wish they would have put some way of knowing where the sensor needs to line up with the magnet to get it to work so that I didn't have to experiment with alignment as much. But that's a more minor gripe.

    I love the Aqara P2 Door Sensors. They've given me peace of mind that my home is safe when I'm on the go!

    Even non-techies will find the setup of the P2 Sensor easy to accomplish. A warning to the wise, do not remove the sticky tabs until you understand exactly where on the doors the sensor is to be placed. I thought I had them positioned correctly until I realized I would pull the sensor off if I opened the door. I had to pull both parts of the sensor off my door to reposition them, but since the adhesive side is so sticky, I had to pull hard! They grip so well, that I can see them lasting for a lifetime of use.

    I've added the Aqara P2 Sensors and a Kasa Switch garage light switch to the home Apple ecosystem. With the two, I was able to create an automation that instantly turned the Kasa switch on when my Aqara P2 door sensor was triggered and turned off the lights 10 minutes later. I was amazed at how fast the Aqara P2 was able to turn on the Kasa light switch! I had to slowly open the door to see if the lights were actually off, otherwise, it looked like the lights were on before I opened the door it was so fast.

    This and the ability to ask "Siri, turn off the garage lights" is a huge win!

    tl;dr: I have 5 of these connected to HomeAssistant. 3 work flawlessly - the other 2 constantly fall off.

    In theory, these are great. I really like the idea of Matter and Thread as a manufacturer independent standard. Sure, commissioning devices is laughably slow and complicated compared to ZWave or (blech) Zigbee, and sometimes randomly fails... I have a degree in networking and can handle that.

    But where it all falls apart is reliability. For no reason, after a few days or weeks, 2 of my sensors (one of which is in spitting distance to the router) routinely disappear. Sometimes they reconnect on their own, sometimes I have to push the button to get them to reconnect, sometimes they won't reconnect unless I take the battery out and replace it.

    The 3 others work fine, as do Thread devices from Eve, so presumably this is a hardware QC issue and not a design issue with this sensor or Matter/Thread in general.

    Can't recommend them for anything that needs to be reliable, like an alarm system.

    I bought this Aqara Door and Window Sensor P2 to help run some simple lighting automations in my room when the door is opened and closed, and I couldn't be happier with the results. This door sensor exceeded my expectations in every way.

    First, the integration with HomeKit was seamless and incredibly easy. Within minutes, I had it up and running, effortlessly syncing with my existing smart home setup. The sensor is highly responsive, providing instant feedback and ensuring my lights respond the moment I open or close the door.

    Installation was a breeze too. The compact design and clear instructions made it simple to set up, for anyone regardless of skill level. The quality and reliability of this sensor are outstanding, making it a perfect addition to any smart home.

    Overall, I highly recommend the Aqara Door and Window Sensor P2 for anyone looking to enhance their home automation system. It delivers on its promises and adds a level of convenience and efficiency that's hard to beat!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Por fin, un sensor Matter over Thread de precio razonable
    Reviewed in Spain on July 7, 2023
    The media could not be loaded.
     Ya era hora de que salieran sensores que no necesitan el típico hub del fabricante o su app y que no cuestan 40€ o 50€. Es de Aqara pero no necesitas instalar apps de Aqara, ni dar datos personales a Aqara ni comprar hubs de Aqara.

    Es un sensor de contacto, uso típico en puertas, que funciona con Matter over Thread. Aunque no necesita hub de Aqara sí necesitas el hub Matter y Thread de tu plataforma domótica (un Echo 4, un Nest Hub 2, Homepod mini, etc.).

    Al grano: es muy recomendable, yo lo compré con la promo de lanzamiento del 20% de descuento (26 euros). Ha sido una compra casi a ciegas porque casi no hay reviews (salió el 6 de julio), pero está genial.

    Yo lo he probado con Google Home y el Nest Hub 2 que hace de controlador Matter y Thread border router. La instalación es básicamente darle a añadir dispositivo en la app de la plataforma domótica y escanear un QR que viene en el manual impreso. A la primera funcionando, parece que Matter ya empieza a funcionar como se espera.

    Si bien ya había un sensor de puerta Matter over Thread de la marca Eve, ese cuesta bastante más y usa unas pilas rarísimas difíciles de encontrar y que pocas marcas fabrican. El Aqara usa CR123A que, no siendo la más habitual del mundo, la venden hasta en el hipermercado de mi barrio.

    Evidentemente no sé cuánto dura la pila porque acaba de salir y Aqara no da una cifra porque depende del uso que tenga. Me acordaré de actualizar esto cuando se acabe. En teoría Thread no consume mucho, pero Matter lleva encima toda la capa de seguridad, cifrado, etc. que puede que gaste algo más.

    Incluyo una foto para que se vea el tamaño. Es grande, o más bien largo, para ser un sensor de contacto pero tampoco es inmenso y no queda mal en la puerta como se ve en otra de las fotos.

    El vídeo creo que es lo que más va a interesar. Es una rutina hecha en Google Home con el nuevo editor de automatizaciones. El starter es device.state.OpenClose, porcentaje 0 cuando está cerrado, 100 cuando está abierto. En acciones estoy controlando una bombilla Matter de la marca WiZ, así que es el caso mejor en cuanto retardo porque no hay nubes de terceros involucradas.

    De momento las pruebas que he hecho funciona bien, me he ido lejos del Thread border router (hasta cuatro habitaciones más allá) y también ha ido bien. Si noto algo raro actualizaré por aquí, pero de momento merece 5 estrellas y en dos días de pruebas varias no ha fallado ni una sola vez y ya he decidido pegarlo a la puerta. Antes no quería pegarlo por si acaso tocaba devolverlo :)

    Actualización (1 de agosto 2023): Anoche hubo un apagón eléctrico que duró unos segundos. Al Nest Hub que hace de Thread border router no debió sentarle bien (tampoco a un enchufe inteligente que se desconfiguró) y perdió conexión con el sensor. Con apagar y encender el Nest Hub la recuperó. Por lo demás en este mes no ha fallado ninguna vez la detección de apertura así que sigo recomendándolo.

    Actualización (1 de septiembre 2023): Sigue yendo perfectamente, ahora en Google Home se puede automatizar directamente desde la app también, no hace falta el editor de scripts como al principio. Por cierto, veo alguna mala puntuación de gente diciendo que no le funciona con un Echo Dot, ¡claro que no!, es necesario un router Thread y el Dot no sirve para eso, el Echo 4 (no dot) por ejemplo sí.

Por cierto, veo alguna mala puntuación de gente diciendo que no le funciona con un Echo Dot, ¡claro que no!, es necesario un router Thread y el Dot no sirve para eso, el Echo 4 (no dot) por ejemplo sí.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great

    Easy to pair with my google home nest hub. Had to restart the device to get the paring to work, but after that it was simple. Open/Close status works great and I was able to add automation to auto-lock my door (using Schlage encode plus) when door status changes to closed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Schick, klein und schnell montiert

    Der neue Fensterkontakt von Aqara ist schick, klein, unauffällig und schnell montiert. Endlich auch Matter-kompatibel, so dass er in alle modernen, gängigen Smarthome-Systeme wie z.B. Apple Homekit eingebunden werden kann, ohne das man einen separaten Aquara-Hub dafür braucht.

    Was mir gut gefällt ist, dass neben dem kleineren runden Magnet-Teil auch noch ein separates, dünnes Magnetplättchen dabei ist, was die Montage an einem Fensterrahmen deutlich einfacher macht. Aber dieses Magnetplättchen hätte auf einer Seite dann gerne werksseitig auch doppelseitiges Klebeband haben dürfen, so wie es bei den beiden anderen Teilen der Fall ist. Aber es ist stattdessen "nackt", sodass man dann selbst doppelseitigen Klebeband zurecht schnippeln und drauf pappen muss. Das klappt aber auch.

    Wie lange die Batterie hält, kann ich derzeit noch nicht sagen, habe den Fenstersensor ja erst vor kurzem In Betrieb genommen, was sehr einfach und schnell geklappt hat. Er funktioniert zuverlässig und erlaubt entsprechende Smarthome-Automationen.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Failed to work
    Reviewed in Canada on July 8, 2024
    I bought the "door and window sensor P2" and the M3 hub understanding that they should work together. After multiple attempts scanning codes in the instructions and scanning other codes in the app I was unable to to get the P2 sensor working with the M3 hub, I have up and purchased the old sensors instead. They worked flawlessly, don't waste your time with the new P2 sensors.
