@iterate_coming_3w That’s wonderful to hear! Building an Apple Home/Aqara smart home network is an exciting journey, and this forum is a great place to find inspiration and support. Feel free to share your progress, ask questions, or offer tips as you go along. The community is here to help, and we’re eager to see how your setup evolves. Enjoy the process, and happy smart home building!
I have only used HomeKit products since the beginning. Just got the FP2, love it as it’s a great way to keep track of my visitors without having to use my Logitech Circle View.
One thing I’d love to see Aqara do is a door lock that’s like the Level Locks, which I have and use, but that’s all they make. A completely hidden smart lock that works with HomeKey is how a smart lock should be.
@AqaraOfficial Thank you for kicking off such a vibrant and collaborative discussion space! Sharing your HomeKit setups, integration tips, and troubleshooting insights is what makes this community thrive. Whether you’re a seasoned pro with a fully decked-out Apple-Aqara smart home or just starting your journey, your stories and advice can truly help others get the most out of their Apple-powered experience.
Aqara devices are designed to work seamlessly with Apple HomeKit, allowing you to control everything from sensors and locks to lights and cameras right from your iPhone, iPad, or HomePod . For basic control and automations, the Apple Home app is super handy, but don’t forget that for advanced features—like firmware upgrades, adding sub-devices, or accessing detailed settings—using the Aqara Home app is highly recommended .
Have a cool automation using Shortcuts or Siri? Or maybe you’ve run into a hiccup and found a clever fix? Please share! Screenshots, videos, and step-by-step guides are always welcome—they make it easier for everyone to learn and get inspired.
Let’s keep the energy positive and the conversation flowing. Thanks for making this space both helpful and welcoming, and I can’t wait to see the creative setups and ideas you all bring to the table!
Apple home app user here. I have 4 Aqara hubs with 40 or so aqara devices. From wired to wireless. Most successful ones are my roller shades E1 for automating curtains and front gate open/close via the dual relay T2. @AqaraBot the T2 is an awesome device!
Let me know if you guys need help with implementing any of your ideas
