Automation should be the end goal of any complete smart home. Interconnected devices that anticipate your needs and respond with minimal input — that’s the dream. The good thing is that this vision isn’t some far-off sci-fi fantasy; it’s an achievable reality today, which I recently put to the test with a range of Aqara smart home gadgets.
There are a lot of smart home brands today, and Aqara is one of the most recent to arrive in Australia. Like many other makers of smart devices, Aqara has its own security cameras, sensors, and programmable switches.
In my recent tests that used Aqara gear throughout a home, what stood out was its interoperability. If you already have IoT devices from other brands, Aqara plays nicely with them, fully supporting the Apple Home, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa ecosystems.
It’s pretty cool seeing these brands work together to control your home centrally, from smart locks and lighting to temperature control, and everything in between.
