Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 gives error

I have an Aqara FP2 Presence sensor which I used to import into indigo from HomeKit as a variable but since I now have Home Assistant running natively on my 2014
MacBook I decided to try Home Assistant Agent.

This works great as the Presence and Lux values are correct but the GUI state shows ‘off’ and I get an error each time the lux changes

Code: Select all

  Error                           device "Aqara FP2 Lux Sensor Via Home Assistant" state key sensorValue not defined (ignoring update request)

I have modified the code to ignore the error but I would need to change it every time you update the plugin.

The diagnostics from HA for this device shows.

Try configuring the light sensor as a Home Assistant Value Sensor.

I've set mine up this way. The GUI accurately displays the lux value, and no errors are logged when the lux changes.

I have set it up like this

but still get the error unless I modify the plugin to ignore 'illumination'

Try deleting the device named "HA Living Room FP2 Lux Sensor" and then recreate it as a "Home Assistant Value Sensor".

I believe I have replicated the same errors you're encountering by not creating the Light sensor directly. Instead, I modified an existing Binary Sensor, changing it to a Value Sensor, and updated the Entity to the light sensor. That lead to the issue.

Code: Select all

 Error                           device "Carriage House LIght Sensor Testing" state key sensorValue not defined (ignoring update request)

I've run into this before. Changing the type of an existing device doesn't always work right. Probably something I'm doing wrong in my code.

Thank you for digging into this so much, that was the answer and it is now showing '9lx' instead of 'off',
I suppose I was making a Frankenstein device, with the 'states' being correct but the GUI State was getting the current occupancy of off or on.
So much better having a 'device' compared to the shortcuts method giving 'variables'.
Until (if) Aqara update it to Matter I have now used Glenn's HK plugin to get the values back into the Home app, long way round but works perfectly.

Once again, Thanks

Joe, the code works fine, it's definitely me not thinking it through is the problem.
And as I write this the lights turn on as the light level gets below the threshold thanks to the plugin!
Thanks.

Just wanted to say thanks for posting about this - I installed the Aqara FP2 Presence sensor and it works like magic, so much better than anything else I have tried.

It solved a 7 year problem I had with the lights turning off in my laundry room if I was standing at the sink washing something - every other sensor would not detect with out any motion — this one works perfect and the zone control is like something from the future.

In case anyone else wants to try one, the process is

1. Install the Aqara app
2. Power up the Aqara FP2 Presence sensor and add it to the Aqara application
3. Find the Aqara FP2 Presence sensor in your apple home application
4. Delete Aqara FP2 Presence sensor from the apple home application (this makes it visible for Home Assistant to see)
5. Verify it is in your Home Assistant
6. Add it to Home Assistant Agent (note — add the Aqara Presence sensor and luminance sensor as separate devices in Indigo)

Let me know if I missed anything…

Here's a concise guide on setting up the Aqara FP2 Presence Sensor with Home Assistant.

Also check out FlyingDiver's Occupatum Plugin, which integrates well with FP2 sensors allowing you to add delays for occupancy/presence based triggers.

Thanks!!!
