@AqaraSmarthouse Definitely a robot vacuum! close second more smart light fixtures (floor lamps, table lamps etc).

If we launched one new device tomorrow, what gap should it fill in your home? 🤔

@AqaraSmarthouse Aqara FP300 replaced a motion, temperature, and humidity sensor for me.

What’s one product that ended up replacing multiple other devices for you? 🤔

@AqaraSmarthouse Aqara, Alexa, Switchbot, Homey, Phillips Hue, Govee (got a few air purifiers and lights scattered about)

How many different smart home ecosystems are you running right now? 🤔

@SwitchBot wanted to share something that I figured out recently. I was able to automate my K11+ robot with NFC tags to create scenes. Those scenes got imported into Amazon Alexa and I have now created routines that I can trigger with voice commands like Alexa Clean Hallway!

@AqaraSmarthouse The M200 hub. I'm on the fence with a couple of the other hubs. If the doorbell camera hubs come out with rechargeable battery packs or the future solar powered camera has a hub I'd be tempted to swap.

What’s your go-to hub right now, what are all your devices connected to? 🤔

@AqaraSmarthouse I'm surprised laundry alerts aren't crushing this category. Seems more beneficial that a refrigerator is left open.

ROUTINES 🧺 Laundry Done Alerts: Get notified when your laundry cycle is finished Refrigerator Door Alert: Receive alerts if your fridge door is left open

@AqaraSmarthouse Definitely! I was trying to automate a washer and a dryer when i learned Alexa doesn't sync well with vibration sensors or energy monitoring plugs. Got a Homey Pro mini and haven't looked back.

@RicardoBranch Knowing what works with what saves a lot of headaches down the road 😌

If you had to rebuild your smart home from scratch, what would you do differently? 🤔

@AqaraSmarthouse The feature from @BusinessWire mentions a floor lamp, outdoor string lights and T2 light strip ... 🧐 dun dun dun!!!

Smart buildings aren’t just about connected devices anymore, they’re about intelligent environments. At Light + Building 2026 in Frankfurt, Aqara showcased how unified infrastructure can connect lighting, security, and energy management into one scalable system. Highlights include: • Aqara Studio IoT operating system • DIN Rail Hub AX100M & GX400M for wired + wireless integration • Circadian-synced human-centric lighting (2000K–9000K) • Smart Lock U500 series & U600 with Matter / Apple Home Key • DIN Rail Module AW110K for advanced energy managementTogether, these innovations show how Aqara is moving beyond individual devices toward system-level intelligent infrastructure. Thanks to @BusinessWire for the feature! #Aqara #IoT #SmartBuildings #Matter businesswire.com/news/home/2026…

@AqaraSmarthouse Throughout the home. I have little ones in the home: 3 months, 4,6 & 9-years, so living room, hallway and front door are a must. I don't put cameras in rooms for privacy reasons but main areas are fair game for safety and security.

Do you prefer having security cameras throughout your home, or only placed outside? 🤔

@AqaraSmarthouse Any exciting reveals planned? 🧐

We’re incredibly excited to announce that we will be attending Light + Building 2026 🇩🇪 From March 8–13, Messe Frankfurt becomes the global hub for lighting, electrification, and intelligent building technology, and Aqara is proud to be part of the conversation shaping what’s next. As the industry moves toward smarter connectivity, sustainable electrification, and fully integrated systems, we’ll be showcasing how Aqara delivers scalable, Matter-ready solutions designed for real-world installations - from residential builds to large-scale developments. 📍 Messe Frankfurt 📅 March 8–13, 2026 📌 Hall 9.0 | Stand A50 If you’re an installer, integrator, or developer looking for reliable automation that integrates seamlessly and performs long term, let’s connect. The future of intelligent buildings is being built now. See you at 9.0 A50.

@hibberthometech That was a good live stream the other day! I hope you 3 do more of them in the near future.

I'm joining Shane and Reed on Shane's live stream tonight for the first time and possibly the last depending how big of a panic attack I have from being live 😂, 21:00 UK time, come hang out!! youtube.com/live/XoGmjKPOC…

@AqaraSmarthouse Matter here all the way!

Are you building your smart home around Matter… or still living that multi-hub life? 🤔

@AqaraSmarthouse Wow that's a tough question!

If you could only keep ONE smart device, what stays? 🤔

@hibberthometech Buy a revolution smart toaster! Problem solved!

What is the correct way to deal with a wife that keeps leaving the toaster on this setting?

@G_Langabeer George! Check this product out floz.com it's a smart showerhead launching on kickstarter in less than 1 week.

@AqaraSmarthouse The FP300 did it for me. I'm a renter so there's a limit what I can install but I setup an FP300 in my house and it's legit made me feel like the house is truly smart now. Definitely plan to buy more in the future once they return on Amazon.

How to trap us: A home that unlocks when we arrive, watches over things while we are away, and knows we are there without pressing a single button 😉 Basically… a home that works without you asking it to. Shop now on Amazon, our website, or authorized retailers. Link in bio🙌 #aqara #smarthome #homeautomation #smartsecurity

@ericwelander Eric, saw this on Kickstarter floz.com had me thinking about you and some of my favorite YouTubers out there. They have a $1 early donation before Kickstarter launch to lock in a $99 early purchase before launch.
