Aqara, let’s get rid of USB chargers!

Aqara already offers a fantastic range of devices, even though we don’t yet get as much in Europe as in China. Still, I keep my hopes up that one day most of these devices will find their way to Europe and the US.

But here’s the device I personally wish for the most: smart wall sockets with built-in USB ports.

When we renovated our house, I originally planned to make every socket smart. In the end, though, I chose a few USB sockets instead, because in those spots charging was simply more important than smartness. For now, I went with Gira’s solution: https://www.gira.com/at/de/produkte/steckdosen/gira-steckdosen-fuer-innen/usb-steckdose

And since I’m already dreaming: how cool would it be if Aqara combined smart sockets, USB ports, AND a small LED night light in one device? Example here: https://www.gira.com/at/de/produkte/sicherheit/gira-orientierungsleuchte

If you’d like to see something like this too, hit the heart and leave a like!

Always remember: “If your car is smarter than your home… you’re driving into the future while living in the past” :red_car::house:

Hi @RudyK I totaly agree with you! An option to make your Gira socket smart is the option you instal a T1 or T2 relay behind the socket … if there’s enough space of course - but this makes only the socket smart and not additional the USB

I also asked at Aqara for a smart socket with a smart USB C charger
