In reply to Bjorn. It's not meant to be ceiling mounted. That would be the fp2. this is meant to be wall mounted.

The fixed power cable is show stopper. How can you ceiling mount something with a 2 meter cable… And it also says on the pictures max height is 2.8 m, which gives max coverage. Which is great, FP2 have max height only 1.8, which is nothing. But it’s hard draw a 2meter cable to something 2.8 meter up… And as mention, they use USB-A to avoid the extra chip needed for USB-C. Which complicates things even more, it’s just ridiculous. For this reason it’s simply not possible to buy it.

I was excited for the zigbee connectivity of this but then read it comes with a non removable cable that’s only 6 ft long. That’s definitely too short and really precludes ceiling mounting imo. And it’s not even USB C 🙁
