Aqara S1 Smart Scene

The world of home automation is so broad that it is difficult to know each and every one of the solutions that many manufacturers offer. It is also true that just as it is broad it is also unknown to many. But leaving these details aside, if there is a brand you should know is Aqara.

We have already spoken about this brand on occasion, in particular its Xiaomi Mi Smart Sensor set (yes, it is a brand under the Xiaomi umbrella). This set of sensors allows you to get started in home automation and offers a highly recommended price, a good design and most importantly: integration with the most popular home automation systems, including Apple HomeKit.

Well, now they have launched a new product that is possibly what many users were looking for. And if you don’t believe us, take a look. This is the new Aqara S1 Smart Scene , a smart switch that integrates a full color touch IPS LCD screen.

Why do you want something like that? Well, to be able to control a large part of home automation from a single point and without having to resort to your smartphone, for example. Once you install it, which by the way is the size of a classic wall switch like the one that any of us already have at home, on the screen you can establish access to the different devices at home.

In the images that you can see the control for the lights is observed, both in terms of intensity such as color temperature or RGB. You can also view information related to the thermostat and other connected devices that you may have installed at home.

Easy to install as we can see, this Aqara S1 Smart Scene is undoubtedly a very striking product. It does not mean that you should replace each and every one of your switches with one of these, but for main rooms such as the living room or the entrance of your home, they could be very useful.

Regarding details, the screen is 3.95 inches, IPS and color. And along with that support for Apple HomeKit, this switch communicates with other devices through the Zigbee 3.0 standard, so you will need the Aqara HUB.
