Home alarm keypad

Will we ever see a a keypad to disarm/ alarm Aqara security system? I feel this is a massive missed opportunity here as I see so many people turn down the Aqara system just for this reason. I even fitted a different branded system because the lack of keypad and wireless key fobs.

I think you can provide some pictures or videos of competitors, which can more intuitively tell everyone its value.


Here is just a few I have installed. I find it so much more secure that having a button added to a automation that anyone can press

Looks goodThis device allows users to enter a passcode and then select either the HOME or AWAY arming mode, or disarm the system. It enables quick and convenient operation, and using a passcode helps ensure secure identity verification.
So, based on what you know, is this how such devices are typically used? Are there any other features you think are essential?

Yes I think this provides security having a pin to disarm the security system when entering and is typically how it is used . I have seen some keypads have a motion sensor to light up the keys when in the dark but I feel as a keypad would mostly be placed near the entrance having the motion sensor on the keypad as an additional motion sensor for the security system would be a benefit.

Voici la traduction en anglais :

I also think this is a real shortcoming in the range.
It could also have a passcode system on the panel — that would be a nice to have.
Since Aqara doesn’t offer this, I’ll have to turn to other systems, which puts the whole setup I currently have with the sensors and detectors into question.

I believe that Aqara showed an alarm system keypad at Winter CES. It is a gap in the Aqara system but is it enough to send me to Abode? Nope. But I am still hoping to see it from them.

I think having an alarm keypad that links to the M2 and M3 hubs is a great new product idea. I would love to have the flexibility to grant a temporary keypad code for visitors and guests to use when coming and going vs. me having to set the alarm via my phone app every time.

these look pretty sick, actually

@aqara we need these, proper security system and option to add outdoor siren as well. this what is lacking in aqara.

didn’t see any news about it .

This device would be a really nice addition to the Aqara family.
