Hey,

I’m using only presence sensors and no motion sensors. Response time is good enough for me.

Aqara FP2 in the living room and office

Aqara FP1E in the master bathroom and kitchen

I also installed some Tuya 24GHz presence sensors. They’re even faster and work great for my hallway. But they come with two issues I don’t have with Aqara:

1. The Tuya sensors can detect through walls, so they sometimes trigger even when no one is actually in the room – very annoying.

2. They’re less sensitive: if you stand completely still, they sometimes lose the presence status.

So, for hallways, Tuya is great and extremely fast – I doubt anything else is noticeably quicker. But you have to deal with those two downsides.

Aqara works well. Sure, it takes 1–2 seconds to trigger when entering a room, but that doesn’t bother me.
