I’d love to win the AirPods Pro 3

I’m upgrading from the iPhone 14 Pro and while I’m going to lose the third camera, the regular 17 is my choice. I’m interested in the thread radio and how that could eventually get used somewhere in the Aqara ecosystem. Maybe as a more accurate way to identify people in the cameras instead of facial recognition. Have the outdoor Aqara app and it’s hit and miss with that.

I’ve been using the lock U200 for a while now. I love the function of opening my door with Homekey on the Apple Watch.

Recently, the G410 doorbell was added. Which monitors my Door via HomeKit.

I’m curious what will happen in the future

Me too

I have been slowly migrating my whole setup to Aqara as I find it to be the best quality / price ratio.

I have about 40 lightbulbs piloted by FP1E sensors, H2 and V1 switches.

It all works well on its own but I added it all to Homekit as I often get guests and it helps me easily share the home with them.

I’m very excited about the homepod with s screen as all I need now is a central device per floor to pilot it all! Hopefully, Siri will get a smartness boost by then.

it’s worth keeping an eye on your new topics as part of this promotion. The Aqarabot is moving post off the AweDropping tag to other tags. You may need to edit it to add the tag back. Keep an eye out if you make a post.

Hello everyone

Here are a few impressions of my setup, in which Aqara and its devices play a major role.

Let’s start with the kitchen. An FP2 sensor provides the appropriate lighting. I work with different scenes here that depend on brightness and time. So, there’s a scene for daytime, evening, and night. The conditions are always time and brightness.

On the Climate sensor i have some scenes to turn lights manuell on/off or to controll the blinds.

In the office, there’s also an FP2 that controls the lighting on the PC. Here, too, the conditions of brightness and presence are set.

In the bathroom, there’s also an FP2 sensor that controls the ceiling lighting with different scenes. The bathroom ceiling lighting can also be switched on and off using an Aqara H2 EU light switch. This works as a wireless switch because the hallway lighting is controlled by the other two buttons. I’ll add pictures from the evening soon.

In the living room, an Aqara panel acts as a central unit that can control almost all devices in the apartment. Thanks to IKEA’s Matt integration, I can assign scenes and automations to almost anything.

The IKEA Donut also has an Aqara light strip running because the original color was too bright for me. I also use the Donut to display notifications (flashing colors), for example. Every window and the front door have an Aqara door sensor, which I can use to control the heating in winter.

Camera in the Office and the living room are also there.

In addition, each window has a sensor to better control the heating in winter. I implement this with appropriate rules in HomeKit and the HomeKit app controller.

So thats my small setup. Nothing special but i love it very much

I use the Aqara U200 together with my Apple devices, and it has completely changed how I access my home. With Apple Home and my Apple Watch, I can unlock the door with just a tap on my wrist – no more carrying keys, no more worries about being locked out.

What I love most is how seamless it feels: Aqara integrates smoothly with Apple’s ecosystem, so the U200 becomes part of a bigger smart home experience. I imagine that with Apple’s new updates this year, especially the improvements in automation and Apple Intelligence, the possibilities will grow even further. For example, having Siri suggest unlocking the door when I arrive home, or even smarter automations between Aqara sensors and Apple devices.

Aqara + Apple is already saving me time every day, and I’m excited about how the two will work together in the future!

FP300 is next on my hitlist. Gotta turn off that bathroom light when the grandkid leaves the light on.
I’m most excited about trying live translation. Epic possibility.

Apple’s New Launch & Aqara: Ideas for Smarter Living

[IMG_1469] Hey everyone — Apple’s fall event gave us a ton to get excited about. I thought I’d share a few ways these new features might connect with Aqara gear. Curious to hear what you all think too! ⸻ Apple Intelligence Everywhere With Apple Intelligence coming to iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPad Pro, Siri is about to get much smarter. • Imagine Siri not just executing Aqara scenes, but actually anticipating them: “Looks like you’re home later than usual — should I still run your Good N…

My Current Apple × Aqara Setup

[IMG_1472] Right now, I’ve got Apple gear (iPhone, Apple Watch, HomePod mini, and Apple TV as my Home Hub) paired up with Aqara devices (Hub M100, Hub M2, Presence Sensors, T1 Valve Controller, U400 Smart Lock, Mini Buttons, Smart Plugs, and Water Leak Sensors). Here’s how they work together: • Presence & Motion • Aqara Presence Sensors tie into Apple Home automations, so lights only come on when someone is actually in the room, not just when motion happens. • This helps cut down on wasted…

I can’t even add the tag to my post for some reason ?

[Caroline_Zzz]

Try again.

[DANEO214]

Sry to bother you I’m still having a hard time I believe I did everything right it took me a minute to find the page with the create a topic section but I did. I followed your picture instructions (ty vm) and put in the awe dropping in the second box but it’s not blue and there’s no tag it’s just like all the other letters.
I typed it in the correct box and chose the awe dropping 8x8 from the drop-down section but still no tag am I doing something wrong I even tried to copy and pasting the tag but no luck ?

Hello, I want to tell my story.
I use pure Aqara without other integrations. My wife has an iPhone 12 to which I connected Apple Home and added the M3 gateway.
How happy she is that from the start window she can start the security alarm, turn on the light when coming from work to a dark yard (a private house with a large territory). And what a pleasure it brings her to use the Apple key to the U200 lock, she simply does not believe that this is possible, she put the phone down and went into the house.
I organized all these commands from the iPhone (Fig. 2),

added the bridge from the M3 gateway (Fig. 1),

Apple Home->±>schemes (Fig. 3,4).

There I set the necessary conditions (Fig. 5).

After that, I attach widgets to the iPhone from where my wife controls the house (Fig. 6).

The key for the U200 lock is added from the Aqara home application to the phone’s wallet (Fig. 7,8).

Conclusion, it is not necessary to have Apple gateways, it is enough to have only one iPhone and controlling the smart home using direct commands will always be available to your family.

Apple's new product release

It’s very far that you can’t do this, training from @discobot in private messages and you will know how to do it. It is done very simply: can you refer to a category or tag in a message? For example, like this: category Developer Hub. Enter the # symbol in a sentence and select the necessary category or tag. developer Hub Please do not create identical topics just to check something, it is better to create one and ask for help from forum participants. Thank you for understanding
