I’m installing the G410 to replace the faulty G4. In doing that I was puzzled by the selection among At Home, Out of Home, Night and not active when selecting the widget on HomeKit. What are their purpose and how to use them?

Hi. It looks like you’ve found the security system!
All details can be found directly in the Aqara Home App:
Profile > Help & Feedback > Alert System

A similar thread can be found here:
Hope this helps you quickly!

Thanks for the video, it was very interesting. Yet I’m still not clear why I should change those settings, rather than the app set that by geofencing. Also it is quite inconvenient to see that menu each time the Aqara settings is selected.

On the one hand, geofencing may not always work perfectly.
We are currently discussing this topic here:
On the other hand, you want to be able to quickly deactivate the night alarm if, for example, you get up too early and want to fetch the newspaper from outside. Geofencing cannot recognize you at your front door after you get up, which might trigger an alarm with a door contact.
What exactly do you mean? The card in the Aqara app or as a widget in iOS?

Yet I do not see why that menu is shown upfront as if it were a decisive setting to set, when probably it is the geofencing to select if one is at home or not.

Can you make Screenshot?
That’s just the view of the security system in the Apple Home app when you tap on the security system.
If you don’t need it, just tap and hold it, then remove it from the Home view, and it will be gone.
Or have I misunderstood something?
