Device Binding & Initialization
1 Select an installation method Based on the actual application scenario, determine the appropriate installation method and required detection range for the FP2. For zone detection, the wall-mounted method is recommended: it offers a horizontal detection angle of 120 degrees, with blind spots appearing beyond 120 degrees; the radial detection distance is 8 meters and the detection width is 6 meters. For fall detection, the ceiling-mounted method is advised: at an installation height of 2.8 meters, it can cover a fall detection area with a radius of 2 meters.
2 Device installation and power-on Choose between wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted positions for the FP2 based on the detection range. For heights under 2 meters, use metal plate and sticker; for heights over 2 meters, use screws. Connect the FP2 with the Type-C sensor power cord, then insert the sensor cord into the USB-A port of an adapter, outlet or other power supplying device. Long press the reset button for 10 seconds to reset FP2. Click 10 times to restore the factory settings, which shall clear all settings and network data.

5 Device Card and Homepage
Once bounded, you can view the current status of the device on the FP2 device card, including presence, absence, falling, and offline states. Illuminance is displayed through separate cards.
On the Presence Sensor FP2 device homepage, you can access the floorplan, coordinate information, logs, zone management, and installation mode.
The floorplan is divided into 16×20=320 cells. Each cell represents a detection space of 0.5m x 0.5m = 0.25 square meters.

6 Installation Guidance After bounded, you can follow the installation guide to configure important settings, including modes, edges, and interference sources.
FP2 supports presence detection, zone dectection (Personnel positioning), falling detection. Default mode is always on by default, regardless of selecting any two other modes.

Step 2: Edge Setting
The edge setting is primarily used to reduce false targets caused by signal reflections from walls or other objects. It is recommended to set the area beyond the wall as the edge.

Step 3: Interference Source Configuring
Living and office spaces often have moving targets such as curtains, fans, green plants moved by wind, and clothes hanging. If the sensor faces these objects, a false alarm may easily occur, so it needs to be marked as an interference source.
Note: Make sure to configure the interference source only after ensuring that humans and pets have left the area.

7 Zone Management
Click the FP2 device homepage edit area to access settings for templates, stickers, monitoring and other areas. Long press a set area to edit it directly. Click Sticker to edit them, and click Template to access the template page.

8 Zone Detection FP2 supports up to 30 detection zones. FP2 allows up to 30 detection zones. Select cells with one finger slide. Use two fingers to zoom and drag during editing.
For each zone, you can edit the name, choose colors, and select the type.
Type selection allows FP2 to optimize monitoring parameters for better recognition.
Once the monitoring zone is set, zone automation options are generated. If FP2 is added to Apple Home, the area syncs automatically, creating occupancy sensors. By enabling zone name sync in the app settings, the name also syncs to Apple Home.

9 Sticker
We offer 16 sticker types, with a limit of 20 per user. Stickers can be selected, enlarged, shrunk or deleted. To rotate a sticker, drag or click the rotate button in its lower-left corner.

10 Edges, Interference Sources, and Entrances/Exits These areas don’t generate automation but impact device accuracy. Entrances/exits are where people appear or disappear, like hallways or doors.
Set more cells than actual doors to ensure accurate entry and exit. Target creation and deletion will be faster in these areas, with stricter conditions.
Configuring edges and interference sources is crucial. No targets are created in edge areas, and valid targets won’t enter.
Targets aren’t created in interference sources, but valid targets can move into them.

11 Template
Templates save layout configurations, allowing users to experiment in different home spaces without repetitive setups. Save the current area configuration by clicking the button in the top right corner as a personal template, including monitoring areas, other areas, and stickers.

Click to enter the template page, where you can import recommended and personal templates. Templates support previewing and importing. Personal templates can be managed, renamed, and deleted.
There are currently 11 recommended templates to choose from, which users can edit based on their actual layout, including a blank template that clears all area content.
* Note that applying a template will delete existing area configurations, so save accordingly. Zone automations needs to be adjusted after applying a template. Personal templates are shared within an account, not only for this device but for all FP2s within the user’s account.

12 More Settings
FP2 supports the following More Settings:
(1) Anti-light pollution mode When activated, all indicator lights, including protection and offline reminders, are turned off during specified periods. Note: Reset and network access indicators still function normally during network access.
(2) Detection modes FP2 supports presence detection, zone dectection (Personnel positioning), falling detection. Default mode is always on by default, regardless of selecting any two other modes. Note: Future FP2 OTA will support more modes. Zone detection includes detection direction and coordinate direction reversal configuration options. Coordinate direction reversal supports enabling, disabling, and auto modes. In auto mode, FP2 system automatically recognizes the installation method of the device and decides whether to enable coordinate direction reversal. When the detection direction function is set to left-right monitoring, the entry and exit directions will have distinct attributes, and will be divided into left-entry, right-entry, left-exit, and right-exit.
(3) Presence Detection Sensitivity Sensitivity levels impact FP2’s response speed and accuracy. Higher sensitivity offers quicker responses but may cause false alarms. Use high sensitivity in static areas like bedrooms, and low sensitivity in dynamic areas like hallways.
(4) Proximity Sensing Distance This setting influences proximity sensing for both radar and surrounding area. With low, medium, and high settings, the distance thresholds are 1m, 2m, and 3m. For example, at medium, events are reported when a person is within 2m (approaching) or more than 2m (departing) from the radar or area.
(5) Fall Detection Sensitivity Different fall detection sensitivities affect the recognition range and false alarm rate. Higher sensitivity detects more fall types but may cause some false alarms, such as a slow sitting action being misinterpreted as a fall.
(6) Reset to Absence Status If the device has false alarms, you can click “Reset to Absence Status” to clear all targets in the entire space.
(7) Name Synchronization With this feature, you can synchronize the set zone names with Apple Home.
