The Aqara Forum is a real treasure chest full of smart tips, tutorials, ideas, and inspiration for all Smart Home enthusiasts — and those who are about to become one.
But let’s be honest: many great posts get buried as new ones roll in.
That’s why I’ve started saving the most valuable ones in a personal list — and then I thought: why keep it to myself?
So here it is: feel free to bookmark this post and check back from time to time. I’ll keep adding links to posts that are not only relevant today, but will stay relevant in the future.
And of course, if you have suggestions for posts that belong on this list — I’d love to hear them! This list will never be finished, it’s work in progress.
Always remember: “If your car is smarter than your home… you’re driving into the future while living in the past”
