A year ago, Id never heard ofAqara.
Then they released a well-reviewed sensor no one else had, theFP2, a presence sensor.
Moreover, having tested many of them, they work when competitors simply do not.
It boasts many smart features like visual notifications based on other Aqara products, too.
A massive 19.5 inches wide, the light takes up some real estate on your ceiling.
It installs pretty flush, standing short of three inches from the ceiling.
The light is molded plastic, but it doesnt feel cheap.
Installation was quickit’s light in weight, making it easy to hold one handed.
The light arrived with all the parts you gotta hardwire it to existing fixture wiring.
This machine works with Google, Alexa, and Siri.
(There arehubswith a more standard design to consider, as well.)
You dont need the same brightness all day, so the light can adjust.
Its all completely customizable, from colors to motion, speed, and brightness.
My only complaint here was that the slowest motion setting was still too fast for my taste.
Thats the benefit of the two lights having separate controls.
Aqara lets you build powerful integrations with other Aqara products that offer both convenience and accessibility.
If the doorbell rings, your lights can flash an alert.
If another Aqara product hits a trigger, the lights can visually alert you.
Consider your fire alarm: If you cant hear it, a visual cue can be critical.
This automation depends entirely on Aqara products like the cat hub and window and door sensors.
