Imagine a living room equipped with Aqara smart lights, a thermostat, and a camera. With the Aqara Advanced Matter Bridging, you can create a virtual plug and a virtual occupancy sensor. By integrating these into the Matter ecosystem, you can set up automations such as:
A scheduled “Good Morning” routine that turns on the lights and adjusts the thermostat, all from Apple Home.
Using Google Home routines, trigger the “Away Mode” scene that turns off lights and lowers the thermostat when the occupancy sensor detects no movement.
Amazon Alexa voice commands to activate specific scenes, even if some devices in the scene don’t support Matter directly.
This example illustrates the bridge’s ability to harmonize various devices and platforms, creating a unified and intuitive smart home experience.
This feature is indeed a game-changer in the realm of smart homes, allowing seamless integration of Aqara-specific scenes and signals with the Matter protocol. By creating virtual devices like plugs and occupancy sensors, Aqara users can effortlessly harmonize their smart home devices across platforms like Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings.
