Aqara

Aqara History and What They Do

Aqara was founded in 2016. They aim to deliver comprehensive smart home solutions easy-to-use with chic designs at affordable prices; that's why we stock them!

Energy Efficiency

You can't have a smart home that guzzles electricity as that just isn't smart, is it? Aqara makes it their purpose to ensure all their products consume very little energy in the home.

Their design is contemporary and falls under the 'less is more' philosophy which helps on the energy consumption side.

Aqara on the Move

Making sure they cover as many households as possible; their products support all the primary platforms, such as:

• Google Assistant
• Apple Homekit
• Amazon Alexa
• Mi home, plus others...

Aqara exploded in 2016, and in just 6 years, they have opened over 400 4S 'Aqara Home' stores around the globe. They also entered the US market in 2019. So far, their stats show they have covered 192 countries and have devices in over 2 million homes.

They are not taking their foot off the pedal either. They are looking at a greater market share in The US, EU, Russia and China, so Aqara will be a household name in a few years.

Easy Installation

Their DIY method works perfectly. You don't even need a toolkit to do either, BONUS! The follow-on effect is that each unit is easy to maintain and customise to how you want it to work and what you want it to do.
