Touchscreen dial v1 - please add more device support

Aqara Team -

The Touchscreen dial v1 is really neat. What would make it even more neat is Matter thermostat compatibility.

I have controllers in my mini splits that are Home Assistant compatible, thus I’ve exposed them to my M3 hub as Matter climate devices using the Matter Hub plugin. It would be amazing if Aqara would add support for this, and perhaps other select Matter devices.

I totally understand why compatibility with Aqara products is priority, but the touchscreen dial would be perfect for this use case and would boost sales. Using the M3’s IR blaster for AC control is not ideal.

Support for Matter LED controllers would also be welcome. I would use the higher wattage controller available, but they seem to be limited to the China market.

I can’t be the only one out there who wants to see this happen.

Thank you.

Thank you. Really, it would be great if it can control any Matter device that can be bound to the Aqara hub. I mentioned thermostat specifically because of the dial’s temp/humidity readouts.

If the full device functionality can be exposed in other platforms, like Home Assistant for example, there would be lots of buyers as it has the most premium feel of any dial controller.
