NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 16, 2026--
Aqara, a global leader and pioneer in IoT, today announced the release of the Spatial Multi-Sensor FP400. The FP400 is designed to bring precise, spatial intelligence to homes without sacrificing the privacy typically compromised by smart cameras. Rather than simply detecting motion or presence, the FP400 enables homes to better understand occupancy, movement, and context for more granular and personalized automations and insight.

The Spatial Multi-Sensor FP400 redefines how smart homes perceive and interact with living spaces by combining high-precision spatial sensing with AI-powered environmental understanding. Powered by a next-generation high-precision 60GHz mmWave radar, the FP400 delivers industry-leading multi-person sensing, precise real-time tracking, and occupant counting for up to 10 people simultaneously. Combined with Aqara's AI Spatial Learning software, it provides a smarter and more reliable foundation for advanced spatial intelligence.
One FP400 can cover a space up to 10m x 8m or approximately 860 sq ft with a wide 120° field of view. Users can also define up to 8 zones for highly accurate, localized automation. This enables automation to respond not only to whether someone is present, but also to exactly where people are within a space and how they move through it. For example, the ambient lights can turn on and off based on your movement from the couch to the dining room table, all with just one device.
Its intelligent AI sensing algorithm drastically improves reliability by reducing false triggers caused by environmental factors like pets, airflow, and robotic vacuums. A built-in ambient light sensor also helps trigger smart home scenes based on both human activity and lighting conditions. Unlike the FP2, this sensor is designed for even more versatility, offering native support for both Thread and Zigbee connectivity. As a Matter-enabled device, it ensures seamless, future-proof interoperability across major smart home ecosystems, including Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, Home Assistant, Homey, and SmartThings. What's more, FP400 can be added and configured in the Aqara Home app without an Aqara hub by using an existing third-party Thread Border Router. The FP400 can also be installed on the ceiling, the wall, or in the corner, while AI-assisted mapping automatically detects room boundaries and entrances to make setup effortless.
The Spatial Multi-Sensor FP400 is now officially available worldwide. The product lineup launches in two versions to address different user needs: the Spatial Multi-Sensor FP400 for advanced residential smart home automation, and the Spatial Multi-Sensor FP400 Pro for assisted living and specialized elder care solutions.
Availability
For more information on the Spatial Multi-Sensor FP400, please visit the Aqara website.
The Aqara Spatial Multi-Sensor FP400 is now available globally and can be purchased through Aqara’s official website, authorized retailers, and major e-commerce platforms such as Amazon ( Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, UK, US ).
*An Aqara hub is essential when users integrate the FP400 into third-party Matter-enabled platforms in Zigbee mode.
**When integrated with third-party platforms with Thread, FP400 exposes only 1 overall presence sensor and 1 illuminance sensor.
***A pre-configured third-party Thread Border Router is necessary. Availability may vary by device or platform.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Candidates from parties associated with a former rebel group appeared to be leading the first elections in a predominately Muslim region in the southern Philippines, official results showed Wednesday.
The election was a significant step forward for self-rule in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, which was rocked by deadly uprisings for decades until a 2014 peace deal in which Muslim rebels agreed to lay down their arms in exchange for a promise of autonomy.
Parties descended from the former Moro Islamic Liberation Front led the polls, but with none taking a majority it remains unclear who will be able to form a government in the regional parliament.
Commission on Elections Chairman Erwin Garcia said the final voter turnout was 84% of nearly 2.4 million voters. The region covers five provinces, three cities and 63 additional villages.
The Bangsamoro Federalist Party, led by the region's transitional Chief Minister Abdulraof Macacua, came first in the party list vote with nearly 36%, winning 16 of the regional parliament's 80 seats. The party has likely won more seats in district elections, but the commission has so far only released the names of the district winners without identifying their party affiliations.
The BFP was followed by the United Bangsamoro Justice Party, led by Moro Front chairman and former Interim Chief Minister Ahod “Al Haj Murad” Ebrahim, with more than 32% of votes and 15 seats.
The members of parliament will assume office on Oct. 30 and elect the region’s chief minister, who also serves as head of the executive department. A simple majority of 41 votes is needed.
The autonomous region was established under a 2014 peace deal, replacing an older autonomous region with a larger, better-funded and more powerful area. In exchange, the Moro Front’s 40,000 fighters would to be “demobilized” and given livelihoods and other help to resume normal life.
Since the 1970s, about 150,000 combatants and civilians have died in the southern Philippines, while development was stunted in the country’s poorest region. With bombing attacks and kidnappings, Mindanao was viewed as a haven for al-Qaida and the Islamic State group until a U.S.-backed Philippine offensive weakened the militants.
In May 2017, IS-linked militants laid siege to the city of Marawi, triggering five months of ground assaults and airstrikes that left more than 1,100 people, mostly militants, dead and destroyed the mosque-studded city’s commercial and residential districts.
Murad, in a statement posted on his Facebook page on Monday, said with the region’s first election, “we begin a new chapter towards a government with stronger leadership, true service, and focused on every community and village in our homeland.”
He said the government "comes after a long struggle that is now being lived through democracy.”
