- In this episode I review the similarities between the newly released Aqara Motion and Illuminance P2 sensor and the former Aqara P1 Motion sensor and provide you with four very compelling reasons why the former Aqara P1 sensor is a better buy for your smart home.

** Edge Driver Article Access Disclaimer
I've introduced a nominal $10 subscription fee for accessing Edge Driver articles on my Bud’s Smart Home website. These premium articles provide clear and easy instructions for installing SmartThings Edge Drivers. Your subscription grants access to over 30 articles, each with detailed steps for sourcing and installing both custom and stock Edge Drivers.
This decision was not made lightly. I incur significant costs for maintaining a website and domain, and this fee helps to offset these expenses. Additionally, a great deal of time and effort goes into researching, writing, and providing links to various SmartThings Edge Drivers.
If the $10 fee is a barrier, please note that you can source some drivers directly from the device manufacturer. Alternatively, you are welcome to conduct your own driver research on the SmartThings Community website at community.smartthings.com

How do I know the illuminance lux of my current room so that I can add an Automation to control the lighting with the lux factor.
Hi J Moey. The illuminance level is displayed in the Aqara device settings screen.
@@BudsSmartHome In my Motion Sensor P1 device settings has only a) Detection Interval b) Trigger Indicator c) Sensitivity Adjustment but no illuminance lux display.
@@jvmoey - You need to get Yakov's "Zigbee Sensors Edge Driver [YG] 1.8.16" . You can search the SmartThings Community forum for a link or if you have subscribed for my ST Edge Driver Package ($10) you can source this and many other device drivers on my website. Here is a link to the Aqara P1 Driver installation article on my website: tinyurl.com/42ze5rm6
Did you consider that the P1 requires an Aqara Hub to connect to another ECO system? It will not work unless you buy an Aqara hub to go along with your existing ECO system.
You don’t need the Aqara hub for SmartThings. It will install and work perfectly with the edge driver referenced in the video. Video here: Aqara P1 Motion Sensor Unleashed: Unlock Full Integration with SmartThings Without Aqara Hub!

@@BudsSmartHome Since you started talking about Homey I was referring to Homey. I have Homey because I don't want to buy hubs for every ECO system. As Matter and Thread start to be included in more products it should make things easier and less expensive to build out my smart home.
To my knowledge, you can connect the Aqara P1 sensor to Homey as well without having the Aqara hub. You need to use the Aqara app which can be found here: homey.app/en-us/app/com.xiaomi-mi/Aqara/
Matter was supposed to be the revolution of 2023, and here we are end of Q1 2024 with matter slowly but surely NOT being implemented NOWHERE ! I could laugh, but its very sad in fact.
Yeah, it’s been very disappointing to say the least. I had a power outage the other day and my Matter over Wi-Fi devices lost their connection and had to be deleted and re-added. I had to do this with five devices. The matter over thread devices were fine.
