Aqara ML-S03E Motion and Light Sensor: Native Matter support over Thread for broad compatibility
For the smart home enthusiast who wants to automate lighting or security without constant app checks, the Aqara Motion and Light Sensor P2 is your discreet assistant. It's perfect for setting lights to turn on when you walk into a dark hallway at night or adjusting curtains based on morning brightness.
This sensor goes beyond basic detection by offering a unique angle: it's a tool for energy efficiency and privacy. The light sensor works independently, so you can create automations like dimming lights at sunset for a cozy ambiance. One specific detail: the motion alerts trigger instantly via Thread, often faster than your phone notifications, ensuring you never miss activity. With a 170° wide viewing angle and up to 2 years of battery life, it provides reliable, low-maintenance monitoring. It supports Matter over Thread for seamless integration with Apple Home, Alexa, and other platforms, but remember, a separate 2-in-1 Matter Controller & Thread Border Router is required.
