Hooray, I'm in a reaction video! Fame at last! 🤣 Thanks man!

[Wonderbox]

I have been revisiting your videos while doing my house Reno now. I have got the s1 plus already and will be setting it up when the Reno is down. Thank you for the awesome knowledge sharing as always

[benzeeyap]

Nice review. Do you know whether the mechanical switch work as 2way switch?

[sarpedious]

Informative as always. Now that I'm doing my home reno I'm rewatching all your smart home tips again😂

[hjkaye]

Not all American light switches have a neutral line in them. There was a (fairly) recent update to the NEC to require one for new construction and renovations. I don't have info on the date it changed, but I think was less than ten years.

This means that Canada and Mexico followed suit since they both adopted the US code almost verbatim.

Thanks for the video.
Also thanks for showing that back of the panel - now I'm more interested as it looks like the brick on the back can be removed.
How did you wall mount it when using USB-power? Is there a bracket?

[ThemisThng]

Always like how Paul Hibbert does his smart home tech review. Forever goofy, forever exploding heads. Haha. Love your react as well.

[savitr]

Does this device proximity sensor? Like does it turn on the display when a person approaches

[Jerryhze]

Thank you for showing us what the S1+ looks like with HA. I live in China but no one has put this kind of detailed info online. Also from my search, it IS a zigbee hub and I've seen people posting screenshots of adding a 子设备 to this panel.

About Siri. Did I understand correctly, the panel would act as a gateway to Siri on HomePods, like the ecobee?

[ikku]

Control paneles are usually mounted 145 cm from the floor and light switches 95 cm in the EU. I hope the global version will address the issue, there're hardly any lightswitches on that hight to drain the power from, so you would be forced to use the unhidden USB-C port.

How does it compare with the Aqara S1E magic switch? It appears to have similar functionality but on a smaller screen and doesn't cost as much.

Hello Alex, if everything I buy is from taobao, I suppose I need a China hub too and set account to China region? Any shortcomings to that? Thanks for all your videos!

[jonlp]

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Does it have a web browser we could show Homeassistant dashboards on

[gchungyew]

Does the Aqara only works and configurable from an iPhone/iPad? Is it Android friendly?

[kahfaii]

Thanks for the review. Not for me as it’s a hassle to walk to a specific location to trigger scenes/automation. Looking forwards to your next video!

[mtnmx]

Hello! nice video :) Does the chinese version now have Matter support??

[sandasoo]

Can you please advice Zigbee wall switch with demission 120 * 72 *34mm ?

[intersomemao]

Aqara switches cannot integrate to Google Home? I thought the Global version switches can?

[stanleyseahfengyuan]

Alex I'd sponsor you if I was Aqara dude! My cousin and I are both watching your videos while planning for our house Reno. Keep up the good work :D
