Aqara Light Switch H2 Review: Thread, Zigbee, and Brazilian Compatibility

I’m excited to share this insightful review of the Aqara Light Switch H2, a versatile smart switch supporting both Thread and Zigbee. This video is particularly relevant for our community as it explores the switch’s functionality in the Brazilian market, despite being designed for the US market. The reviewer delves into the product’s features, compatibility, and performance, making it a valuable resource for those considering integrating this device into their smart homes.

The Aqara Light Switch H2 comes in three configurations, each offering different numbers of buttons and channels. The review highlights its slim, metal construction, compatibility with both 120V and 220V networks, and its ability to function as a Thread or Zigbee device. It also discusses the switch’s role as a network repeater and its compatibility with various smart home platforms like Home Assistant and Apple Home.

However, the review points out some limitations, such as regional restrictions when using Zigbee without a global hub and the absence of neutral wire support affecting certain features. Despite these, the switch is praised for its robust build quality and comprehensive feature set.
