Don't get the FP1E if you are getting into mmwave. It is just the FP1 (only released in China, but AliExpress exists). with updated software/firmware and the FP1 came out in late 2020/2021 so the hardware is old. The last update by Aqara was in 2021 for the FP1...... The FP2 is 16 dollars more US on Amazon, trust me, it's worth it for the software. Might have to setup an apple homekit (or whatever emulates Apple inside HA) because you can use the Aqara app to set everything up and it just works in HA. Setting up all the zones is a lot of trial and error but when you get it right it works …

In ReReHome

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
