Great deal! It craters the second hand market though. My Galaxy Watch 4 is a paperweight but less valuable.

Shon commented on Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 $167 (Was $197, 15% off) Delivered @ Amazon AU
I have the FP1, was ~$60. It's useful for the rooms where PIR sensors time out (browsing ozB on the toilet etc). Negative is it's wired.
