- Extra Features in Aqara Home app***: The customisable settings through the Aqara Home app will be expanded with the launch of the Hub M3 in the near future. Users can fine-tune the sensitivity of the sensor within a range of 1-3 cm and adjust the sleep time based on specific scenarios and also utilize the programmable button to trigger various smart home automations. Additionally, the Tamper Alarm feature will send immediate alerts to your smartphone if the sensor is tampered with.
* To use the Sensor P2 with a particular ecosystem, a compatible Thread Border Router and/or Matter controller are required.
** The battery life may vary depending on the border router and Matter app the sensor is connected to. For best results, an Aqara border router is advised.
*** To support Matter over Thread devices in the Aqara Home app, the Hub M3 is required. And the Aqara M3 Hub is estimated to launch in Q4, 2023.
What is Required:
To add the P2 to a particular Matter-enabled app, your device or devices will need to have both functionalities, therefore a 2-in-1 Matter Controller & Thread Border Router is needed as a minimum requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install the Aqara Door and Window Sensor P2? Can the main unit and the accessory unit be swapped?
1)Align the mounting mark lines of the main unit and the accessory unit as shown in the user manual, mounting one on the fixed side of the door or window and the other on the opening and closing side (it is recommended that the main unit be mounted on the fixed side);
2)The distance between the main unit and the accessory unit should be less than 22 mm;
3)They can be swapped, but please ensure that the mounting marks of the main and the accessory are aligned;
4)Due to the complex indoor environment, adjusting the relative positions of the border router and the door and window sensors allows for a better communication environment;
5)The door and window sensor should not be mounted on the metal part of the door or window due to the attenuating effect of metal on the wireless signal.
How do I install the Door and Window Sensor P2 if door and frame are not on the same level?
Rotate the accessory unit by 90 degrees. Ideally, the main unit should be mounted on a stationary door frame, and the accessory unit on the door itself, to better safeguard the sensor. The distance between the main unit and the accessory unit should be less than 22 mm. However, ensure they are not installed too close to each other to prevent contact and damage from collisions.
What is the ideal distance between the Aqara Door and Window Sensor P2 and the border router for proper communication?
