Sensors & Detectors
Aqara’s sensor range includes motion detectors, door/window contacts, temperature & humidity sensors and vibration sensors. Designed for simple battery-powered installation, these devices feed precise triggers into automations via an Aqara hub. Use them to switch lights, arm scenes, or log climate changes — many expose data to HomeKit and other assistants for local, privacy-focused control.
Cameras & Monitoring
Aqara’s indoor and outdoor cameras target home monitoring and integration rather than premium imaging. Selected cameras support on-device storage and HomeKit Secure Video; others offer cloud options and motion/occupancy alerts. They’re aimed at homeowners wanting straightforward surveillance that links into scenes and automations rather than a full enterprise security solution.
Hubs, Switches & Automation
The Aqara hub is the backbone for remote control and Zigbee device coordination — it enables HomeKit bridging, scenes and reliable local automations. The site also sells wired and wireless wall switches, smart plugs and curtain motors that let you automate lighting and window coverings. Professional-style installs and DIY setups are both supported, though some features require the hub.
