Aqara Home
What it is
Aqara Home is an Android and iOS app for adding Aqara devices and viewing or controlling them. It supports remote control, device grouping, scheduling, real-time notifications, automations and scenes. Automations can use device triggers and conditions followed by actions, while a scene can collect multiple automations or serve as an automation result. Users can upgrade devices, add sub-devices and adjust settings that Apple Home does not provide for the documented HomeKit devices. Aqara lists compatibility with Matter, Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, Clova, Alice, IFTTT and Home Connect Plus, though compatibility varies by product. A hub may be required for certain ecosystems or functions. Advanced Matter Bridging can expose certain Aqara features to third-party Matter platforms and integrate third-party devices into Aqara Home, but it requires a compatible Aqara hub. After adding devices through Aqara Home, OAuth 2.0 or interface authorization can be used to obtain viewing and control permissions. The app is free.
