Description
====================

In this video, I compare the FP300 vs SwitchBot Presence Sensor after two weeks of real-world testing to see which mmWave presence sensor actually makes sense for a smart home setup.

We break down installation, connectivity, configuration options, performance, and battery life to see how these wireless presence sensors really compare.

The FP300 offers Zigbee and Thread support with many configuration options, while the SwitchBot Presence Sensor focuses on simplicity and price by using Bluetooth.

I also test how both sensors integrate with Home Assistant and discuss common issues like false positives, placement, and Bluetooth vs mesh networks.

If you’re looking for an honest presence sensor comparison to decide which smart home sensor is the better value, this review should help!
