New Aqara Smart Home Devices Include Panel Hub, Dial, and More

Aqara has introduced three new touchscreen controllers and other smart home devices at CES 2025, aimed at enhancing home automation without relying on phones or voice commands.

Panel Hub S1 Plus

The Panel Hub S1 Plus is a 7-inch touchscreen device that can replace a standard light switch.

It controls wired circuits and wirelessly manages Aqara smart devices, including lights, thermostats, and blinds.

It supports Matter for seamless integration with third-party smart devices and doubles as a Zigbee hub.

The screen is customizable with widgets and can display live feeds from Aqara cameras or act as a video intercom for Aqara doorbells.

Touchscreen Dial V1

This compact device features a rotary dial with a 1.32-inch touchscreen for fine-tuned control of lights, thermostats, and shades.

It includes sensors for temperature, humidity, and presence detection but does not support Matter.

Touchscreen Switch S100

The S100 combines two physical switches with a 1.3-inch touchscreen, supporting Thread and Matter over Wi-Fi.

It functions as a Thread border router, enabling broader smart home connectivity.

Other Smart Home Innovations

Presence Multi-Sensor FP300: A battery-operated sensor with mmWave technology for precise presence detection, ensuring lights stay on even during minimal activity.

Climate Sensor W100: Features a display for temperature and humidity and programmable buttons for controlling connected devices.

Hub M100: A compact hub supporting Zigbee, Thread, and Matter for seamless smart home integration.

These devices aim to simplify smart home control, offering a mix of touch, physical controls, and automation.

Availability in Europe and the US is expected throughout 2025.
