The Xiaomi subsidiary Aqara is putting a lot of effort into HomeKit products. We have already been able to provide you with a first look at the extensive product portfolio of the Chinese manufacturer; now, for the first time, detailed English-language information on the Aqara Hub, the central HomeKit component of the system, is available.
We were already able to inform you about the sales launch of the device at the China shippers. But it's still a bit late until the EU version starts, if everything works out, Aqara wants to start selling the device in October.
Once connected to the HomeKit setup, the hub can manage up to 32 Zigbee-connected Smart home components from the manufacturer. The devices will then be available in Apple's Home App and any other HomeKit compatible app. Aqara attaches importance to the fact that the system is fully integrated into HomeKit and thus also bound to Apple's Honey security standards.
On the new website, the manufacturer also gives an insight into the technical details. The hub is equipped with a loudspeaker and an LED night light module. The connection to HomeKit is realized via 2.4 GHz WLAN. In addition, the CE certification has already been granted and therefore nothing should stand in the way of a sales launch in this country, at least in terms of approval.
The Aqara system is particularly interesting because of its versatile components, which are already available at extremely low prices not only in China, but also in Germany. Of course, it remains to be seen to what extent this will change with the official market launch of the devices in Europe.
