Aqara's Zigbee Homekit Devices Are INSANE

I said Apple had knocked themselves out of the Smart Home Race, well Aqara's official UK release just dragged them back in again!!

Aqara have FINALLY completed their official UK release of their Zigbee devices, and the line up is epic! Homekit has been crying out for a cheap zigbee compatible hub and it's here and it's ace.

This video is sponsored by Aqara, all opinions are my own.

Whether you're after Homekit Light switches, Homekit compatible door sensors, or Homekit enabled motion sensors, flood sensors, or even random smart home cubes then Aqara have it covered. Their light switch doesn't require a neutral wire, and can be paired to a Zigbee remote switch. All Aqara Zigbee devices work with Apple Homekit but there's no ties, and they will also with Alexa and Google Home.

Also, don't forget to check out Plum. I've actually been using it and found it really good for putting a bit away each month! Links in the description.

great, the first review I've seen of the two wire wall switches. Thank you!

[ausguy]

Can you add tuya devices to the other without needing alexa for example as a middle man?

[martynhill]

Hi Paul love your show by the way! Just to clarify can I control all these devices by my Samsung smart hub? Thanks

[pdmark]

wait... wait... wait... I recall you saying how horrible HUE was for making a battery-powered light switch? and NOW you are installing one!
