Media Quotes About Aqara
“The Aqara Motion Sensor works reliably, is very small, easy to install, and yet costs just $20. [...] The Aqara Door and Window Sensor is the smallest contact sensor we tested, as well as the cheapest, and we found it easy to mount unobtrusively on a drawer or a door. [...] it was very responsive, turning on a smart bulb in a closet in less than a second, then off again when we closed the door.
“The best smart home device at CES is a small white sensor, one of the most boring devices in the smart home — but also the most crucial. [...] the Aqara FP2 uses mmWave radar tech, enabling one device to detect multiple people and monitor multiple areas within a single room simultaneously. This type of intelligent motion detection will help provide the smart home the context it sorely needs.”
Aqara delivers the cheapest solution with the best price/performance ratio in comparison. [...] The extensive automatic options of the Aqara app contrast with the very limited interaction with other smart home platforms. Aqara's own range is largely compatible with the platforms from Apple, Amazon, Google and IFTTT. ”
