Aqara has expanded its home safety lineup with two smart devices that promise to revolutionize home protection. The company’s latest offerings showcase its commitment to blending technology with practical safety solutions.
The new Smoke Detector, exclusively available in Europe, packs a powerful punch with its 85-decibel siren that springs into action at the first sign of smoke. You’ll receive instant smartphone notifications, and if you’ve got Aqara cameras installed, you can quickly check what’s happening at home from wherever you are. The device boasts an impressive 10-year battery life, thanks to its efficient Zigbee protocol.
Moreover, businesswire also reports that the Valve Controller T1, available globally, serves as your first line of defense against water damage. This smart device fits onto your existing household water valves and can automatically cut off water flow when it detects a leak. Compatible with pipe sizes from 1/2″ to 1″, it runs on four AA batteries that’ll keep it going for about two years.
Both devices play nice with major smart home platforms like Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home through Matter-over-Bridge support. This means you can set up clever automation – imagine your smart lights flashing red during a smoke alert or your HVAC system shutting down to prevent smoke from spreading throughout your home.
The Valve Controller T1 is now up for grabs through Aqara’s Amazon stores in both the US and Europe. If you’re in Europe and interested in the Smoke Detector, you can snag one from Aqara’s European Amazon stores and select retailers.
