Aqara's New Door and Window Sensor P2: A Native Matter Device. Thank you The Ambient for featuring us in your recent article!
This cutting-edge sensor represents a significant milestone for Aqara as our first native Matter device! With the Aqara Door and Window Sensor P2, we have embraced the new Matter smart home standard, delivering a seamless and hassle-free experience to our users.
Unlike our previous products, the Aqara Door and Window Sensor P2 does not require an Aqara Zigbee hub. It is Matter out of the box, eliminating the need for additional hardware and simplifying your smart home setup. As a Thread-based device, it seamlessly integrates with any Matter controller, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of popular platforms.
While the Aqara Door and Window Sensor P2 cannot be integrated into an existing Aqara system, it paves the way for future expansion. To complement this device, we are developing our own Matter controller and Thread border router, the M3 Hub, which is scheduled for release early next year. The M3 Hub will be the ideal solution for Aqara users who wish to transition to a Matter system while retaining their current array of Aqara Zigbee sensors.
The Aqara Door and Window Sensor P2 is a versatile and reliable smart home sensor, employing a magnet-based design to detect the status of doors and windows accurately. You can effortlessly set up automations and receive real-time alerts based on its open or closed status. Furthermore, once paired with the upcoming M3 Hub, this sensor will unlock even more advanced functionalities.
At Aqara, we understand the importance of creating a seamless and intuitive smart home experience. Our introduction of the Aqara Door and Window Sensor P2 represents our commitment to providing our users with a cleaner Matter experience. Together with our expanding range of Matter-compatible devices, including the M2 Hub and the Smart Lock U100, the Aqara Door and Window Sensor P2 further solidifies our dedication to seamless interoperability and user-centric innovation.
