@ server is linked to my Apple TV 4k 3rdgen and I assume default Aqara servers and I bought it directly from Aqara yesterday, with their Black Friday sale.
You say the valve and smoke detector is Matter compatible, but the water sensors aren’t. Whenever I try to setup my aqara as Matter, the leak sensors won’t appear. (Unless this has changed in the past year)
@@Wolfsbane1974 correct, I never said the water leak sensors were matter compatible, however. In the Aqara ecosystem, both the leak sensor and valve controller can still work together, in Apple Home you would have to have the leak sensor connected via a hub using the Apple Home integration, then even if the Valve controller is added via a hub using Matter, you can still use the two together in automations.
@@razor-4eg it’s all down to certification. Europe will have a different certification body that the smoke detector has to pass in order for it to be sold in Europe. The US has its own certification standard too, which is why it’s not for sale there yet.
No jokes with Aqara, they are the best.
If you have multiple smoke detectors can they be linked to all sound if only one detects smoke?
@@mikeward1701 yes, they can indeed.
yes, smoke and gas detectors can do it via aqara app
Strange that it doesn’t show up as a valve in HomeKit. I would prefer that.
Can you create an automatization to turn on the siren when your aqara door sensor is open?
No, there isn’t an option for that.
@ ok thanks for the info!
@ you can, however, trigger the siren on the Aqara hubs, when the Smoker sensor goes off.
I've just got this smoke detection today but it does not show in Homekit. Any idea? Did you have to do anything else with it?
@@AdieAdie17 did you add it to an Aqara hub?
@ yes. It's bound to my G2H Pro.
@AdieAdie17 what server is your G2H Pro on, and where did you buy the smoke detector from?

Can the smoke alarm act as a Zigbee repeater?
@@simon.m17 battery operated devices cannot act as repeaters.
Hello, are you based in the UK?
No I am not. I am English though.
Smoke Detector not new, I have 3 of those in my house for 2 years already 😂
@@razor-4eg it’s new for European users, but yes it came out a while ago in China, which I mention in the video.
@@homekitnewsshould added South East Asia too. Kinda weird how slow it came into EU market but assume that because law and regulation
@@kanzai12 yes, regulations are quite strict for smoke sensors, compared to a valve controller, for example.
@@homekitnewswow, didn’t know that. We have that detector in russia almost from start. Strange.
