The @AqaraSmarthouse FP400 reads presence, not motion, so the lights stay on while you sit still. No camera, up to ten people, Matter over Thread. https://t.co/fKD42FodJs #smarthome #aqara

[Smart Home Compared @shcompared]

Matter tip: the Matter logo doesn't say how a device connects. Matter over Wi-Fi just needs your router, but Matter over Thread needs a Thread border router, like a HomePod mini, Nest Hub (2nd gen) or Echo (4th gen). Check you have one before buying.

Security camera tip: avoid pointing a camera out through a window. At night its IR LEDs bounce off the glass and wash out the image, and PIR motion sensors can't sense body heat through glass. Mount it outdoors, or disable IR and rely on porch lighting.
