Aqara has released 9 different Smart Home devices today in Europe. There are 4 different led bulbs, two lights switches, a display switch, touchscreen dial and a Smart Home Screen to control your devices. We’ve listed all nine devices in this overview of the latest Smart Home devices from Aqara. All items are now available on Amazon in the EU and UK.
Aqara Panel Hub S1 Plus
The Aqara Panel Hub S1 Plus has a 6.9 inch touchscreen (1440 * 720) and is able to control two wired lights and also has 6 wireless switches, exposed to e.g. HomeKit. It’s able to show multiple video streams from Aqara cameras and doorbells and control other Aqara devices. It also acts as a Zigbee hub for Aqara Zigbee devices. You can install the Panel Hub S1 Plus as a replacement of a single light switch. There’s also an option to power the screen with USB-C. You’re able to create several dashboards in the Aqara Home app to control your devices. When you have a Aqara G4 doorbell, the screen will show a video stream as soon as someone rings the bell. With the S1 plus, you’re able to communicate with your visitors and also remotely open the door if you have one of Aqara’s Smart Locks. It also has a light sensor, proximity sensor, two speakers and a microphone. It’s priced at €289,99, which makes it one of the most expensive Aqara devices available.
Aqara Touchscreen Dial V1
The Aqara Touchscreen Dial V1 is a light switch with a rotary dial including a 1.32 inch touchscreen. You can connect the Dial V1 to your current wiring to connect and control up to two lights. It also exposes six wireless switches which are exposed to other Smart Home platforms. The switch works over WiFi, so no Aqara hub is required. It’s also able to measure the temperature and humidity in the room, which you can show on the build-in screen. The Touchscreen Dial V1 is available for €149,99 on Amazon.
Aqara Display Switch V1
The Aqara Display Switch V1 is a switch which can replace your current light switch. You can wire it to two different lights, but also four wireless switches are exposed to e.g. Apple HomeKit. The horizontal screen in the middle can show text and icons, allowing you to indicate the purpose of each button. You can also adjust the text size and colour. A neutral wire is required for this device. You can connect the V1 to your Smart Home over Zigbee, with one of Aqara’s hubs, such as the Aqara Hub M3. A proximity sensor allows you to turn on the screen when you’re close to the switch. Energy monitoring is available in the Aqara app. The Aqara Display Switch V1 is available for €109,99 on Amazon.
Aqara Light Switch H2 EU
The Aqara Light Switch H2 EU is available in two versions. One with 1 wired switch and 1 wireless switch and a version with 2 wired switches and 2 wireless switches. The Switch H2 works both with Thread (over Matter) and Zigbee. This way, you’re able to choose your preferred connection method. To use Zigbee, you need a Aqara hub, which allows you to expose the Switch to Matter. Over Thread, you can directly connect the switch with your Smart Home hub, like the Apple HomePod mini, Apple TV, Google TV Streamer or Nest 2. A neutral wire is not required, but if you have a neutral wire, you’re able to monitor energy usage in the Aqara app. The 2-button version is available for €41,99, the 4-button version is priced at €44,99 and available on Amazon.
Aqara Led Bulb T2
The Aqara Led Bulb T2 has four different versions: E27 CCT, E27 CCT RGB, GU10 CCT and GU10 CCT RGB. This means you have both a E27 and GU10 version, either with white light (CCT) or 16 million colors (CCT RGB). Like the Ligth Switch H2, the Aqara Led Bulb T2 works with Matter over Thread and Zigbee. The lifespan of the bulbs is around 25000 hours, which is over 3 years without interruption. They are priced between €18,99 – €22,99.
