Aqara Multi-State Sensor P100

Product Introduction

The Multi-State Sensor P100 is a comprehensive device that enhances a nine-axis sensor with AI algorithms. It is suitable for various applications such as door and window opening/closing detection, valuable item protection, daily event recording, and notifying its user of appliance status changes. Through advanced sensing technology and Aqara AI algorithms, it can be attached to common types of doors and windows to detect their opening/closing status and real-time status updates. Compared to traditional dual-body magnetic door and window sensors, it can be flexibly attached to any position on the surface of doors and windows, making installation more convenient. It can also detect composite windows, detecting both outward-opening and tilting ventilation states.

In Zigbee mode, it supports switching to “Object Status Monitoring” mode, suitable for special events and status perception of stationary items. It can be attached to everyday stationary objects to detect events such as vibration, movement, falling, opening/closing, tilting, and triple-tapping. It can determine vertical/horizontal posture and vibration/static state, meeting various daily use scenarios, such as: knowing when mail is delivered through mailbox hinge tilt, determining drawer opening time and recording frequency through drawer movement, recording and providing delayed reminders for taking medicine/feeding through the tilting or movement of medicine boxes/milk powder cans, etc.

Note:

• When joining the Matter ecosystem, this device needs to be used with a hub/gateway that supports the Matter protocol.
• When joining the Aqara ecosystem, this device needs to be used with the Aqara Home App and the Aqara hub. The “Item Protection” mode is only supported in Zigbee protocol mode and in Aqara Home. “Door and Window Monitoring” mode determines the open/close status through changes in rotation angle, suitable for doors and windows that rotate on horizontal or vertical axes. It is not suitable for detecting sliding doors, sliding windows, roller shutters, 360-degree revolving doors, drawers, etc. To detect such devices, it is recommended to switch to “Object Status Monitoring Mode”, which can indirectly determine status and events by detecting movement, vibration, and flipping.

Device Installation and Calibration

“Door and Window Monitoring” mode

Function Description:

In door and window monitoring mode, the device can detect angle changes using a nine-axis sensor (three-axis accelerometer, three-axis gyroscope, three-axis geomagnetic sensor), and determine if the door/window is opening or closing. It is suitable for doors or windows that are fixed on horizontal or vertical axes and rotate around a pivot axis, typically including the following types of doors and windows:

1. Swing door: A door fixed on a vertical axis that can rotate horizontally to open and close
2. Casement window: A window fixed on a vertical axis that can rotate horizontally to open and close
3. Awning window: A window fixed on a horizontal axis that can rotate vertically to open and close
4. Combination window: A window fixed on a vertical axis that can rotate horizontally to open, and when closed, can tilt on a horizontal axis for ventilation.

Installation methods:

1. Please peel off the adhesive backing of the device and vertically attach it to the surface of the door or window that needs to be monitored for opening and closing. There are no strict requirements for the installation position of doors and windows. It can be installed near the rotating axis, in the middle of the door/window, or on the opening side of the door/window.
   • If a smart lock is installed on the door, please avoid installing it near the lock to prevent the current from the motor operation affecting the device’s sensor.
2. After installation, please click the button on top of the device 3 times when the door/window is completely closed to complete the device posture calibration. The device indicator will flash quickly and then stay on for 2 seconds to indicate that the calibration is complete.
3. The device’s default sensitivity is set to medium. For first-time use, please conduct a performance test. If you find that the Door and Window Monitoring status detection is inaccurate, or if frequent false triggers occur, you can adjust the sensitivity to different levels through the app to achieve proper adaptation.
4. During use, if the posture has shifted or been affected by magnetic fields, it may cause an incorrect display of open/close status. Please follow the steps in step 2 to recalibrate the device.

“Object Status Monitoring” mode

Function Description:

In Object Status Monitoring mode, the device detects movement and vibration to monitor the status of stationary objects, providing alerts for events such as changes in position or unusual activity. Detectable events and postures include:

1. Vibration: Detects vibration events, suitable for monitoring slight vibrations of everyday stationary items and tracking the duration of continuous stillness of the device.
2. Movement: Detects movement events, suitable for scenarios such as item theft prevention and drawer detection, can trigger alarm notifications or automations in conjunction with other devices.
3. Falling: Detects falling events, suitable for protecting valuable items and monitoring the safety of the elderly and children, triggers alarm notifications in conjunction with other devices.
4. Tap three times: Detects triple tap events, suitable for attaching to stationary surfaces such as desktops, and triggers automation in conjunction with other devices.
5. Posture: Detects horizontal, vertical, and tilted postures of the device, which can trigger automation through related posture linkage. To achieve longer device battery life and reduce power consumption caused by unnecessary event reporting, please select the events that need to be monitored according to your actual needs during the configuration process.

Installation methods:

1. Peel off the adhesive backing of the device and attach it vertically or horizontally to the surface of the item that needs to be monitored.
2. To detect the posture of an object, please attach the device to the surface of the object in the desired horizontal or vertical orientation, then click the button on top of the device 3 times to complete the device posture calibration. The device indicator will flash quickly and then stay on for 2 seconds to indicate that the calibration is complete. The device will calibrate the current posture as the standard horizontal or vertical posture.

4. During use, if the posture has shifted or been affected by magnetic fields, it may cause an abnormal display of open/close status. Please follow the steps in step 2 to recalibrate the device.

Precautions:

1. The “Door and Window Monitoring Mode” determines the open/close status through the built-in geomagnetic sensor detecting rotation angles, suitable for doors and windows that rotate on horizontal or vertical axes. It is not suitable for detecting sliding doors, sliding windows, roller shutters, 360-degree revolving doors, drawers, etc. To detect such devices, it is recommended to switch to “Object Status Monitoring Mode”, which can indirectly determine status and events by detecting movement, vibration, and flipping. (“Object Status Monitoring Mode” is only supported by the Zigbee protocol.)
2. Based on the sensor detection principle, electric current and magnetic fields can affect detection accuracy. When installing, please be careful to avoid the influence of motors and magnetic fields. Please avoid installing near microwave ovens, curtain motors, or smart door locks.
3. The device normally remains in a low-power sleep state and is awakened by vibration to activate its sensors for detection. Frequent vibrations will cause the device to be activated repeatedly, reducing battery life. Therefore, the device is suitable for installation on fixed and stationary doors, windows, and object surfaces in daily use. Please avoid installing it on surfaces that vibrate frequently.
4. The “Object Status Monitoring” mode is not suitable for installation on frequently vibrating appliances such as washing machines, dryers, etc., or for detecting their continuous vibration state. It cannot be used in application scenarios where vibration is used to detect when appliances stop operating.
5. In “Object Status Monitoring” mode, to achieve longer device battery life and reduce power consumption caused by unnecessary event reporting, please select the events that need to be monitored according to the actual needs of your scenario during the configuration process.
6. During use, if you need to change the installation location, the device’s posture has unexpectedly shifted, or it has been affected by changes in the surrounding magnetic field, please click the reset button 3 times when the device is stationary, and the installed door/window is completely closed to recalibrate the device’s posture and ensure detection accuracy.
7. To avoid the long-term effects of high temperature and direct sunlight on the adhesive’s stickiness, please avoid installing on glass or metal surfaces exposed to direct sunlight.
8. The device is installed using adhesive. For safety, please ensure that the device’s height does not exceed 2 meters.

Device Calibration Method

During use, if the posture has shifted or been affected by magnetic fields, it may cause an abnormal display of open/closed status. When the device is stationary, please keep the device vertical or horizontal according to the use scenario, with the door/window closed (in Door and Window Monitoring mode), and calibrate the device by clicking the device button three times.

Device Removal and Adhesive Removal

After installing the device, if you need to change the installation location or remove it to replace the battery, please carefully peel off the adhesive backing on the device and remove it from the door/window or object.
