With our homes gradually becoming smarter and gadgets for the home that increase day by day, we begin to pose the problem of how to control everything quickly and easily. Well, a truly elegant solution seems to have come from the Aqara brand, which as some of you may know is one of the most active in the field of home automation with products such as motion sensors, smart switches, smart locks and more released in recent years.
Aqara Smart Switch Panel S1 presented: the control panel that manages all the home automation
The device presented today is in fact a central control panel to better manage all smart gadgets at home. The new product is called Aqara Smart Switch Panel S1 and is now on sale on the Xiaomi Youpin platform at the price of 799 yuan, about 100 euros at the current exchange rate.
Thanks to the Aqara Smart Switch Panel S1 it will be possible to control the lighting system, air conditioning, temperature, stage lights, curtain motors and other smart equipment. One can also customize various smart scenes such as theater mode and good night mode. So it is a panel that can solve multiple needs and at the same time reduce the surface of the wall occupied by the individual switches, so as to enhance the design of the entire house.
From a specification point of view, Aqara's Smart Switch Panel S1 features a large 3,95-inch color IPS screen, with a very fast responsive capacitive touch to bring a truly smooth user experience.
The control panel also integrates a secondary two-in-one infrared light-sensing sensor, so that when a person is detected approaching the panel, the screen will automatically activate. At the same time, the screen brightness can be automatically adjusted according to the brightness of the environment.
In addition to allowing us to control smart products in the home, the Aqara Smart Switch Panel S1 allows us to view information such as date and time, weather, air quality, temperature, etc. There is even gesture support thanks to AI so you can move from one screen to another by moving your hands.
