Is this a good start into the presence detection?

The FP2 is wifi, xy zone support, powered with a wall wart, and needs to be setup via homekit integration. The initial connection via homekit can be a bit fiddly.
You could also look at devices from https://apolloautomation.com/ or https://shop.everythingsmart.io/

yeah that's one option they have.

Or this one?
I tend to have ZigBee devices and it would be awesome for zone controlled presence detection.
analog escarp
yes that is another option in the links I provided

Why is the aqara not so good?

Are these appoloautomation and everything smart also capable of having multiple zones?

I added a new presence zone in the Aqara app but it doesn't show up in HA. I've tried reloading the HomeKit device, disabling/enabling it, reloading YAML, resetting HA and finally rebooting the entire HA device. Nothing works. Any advice?
NVM I'm blind, it added it under an old name for a zone I used to use...

Oh okay
