    Thanks for the great video. So you also need an Aqara hub for this switch to work? I have seen some wireless switches that come in a pair and no hub is required. One will replace the traditional switch and the other can be placed anywhere to perform the same switching function like a 2 way switch.

    Heya MADS, thanks for the video. I've been doing some research on the xiaomi smart home systems and I'm confused by the xiao mi home vs xiao mi aqara variants. it seems like the new xiao mi devices are all under aqara now and will be controlled by the aqara app? I'm wondering if the aqara gateway ans app syncs with google home as i've seen some forums saying they dont. Thanks

    • @madsncakes

      Joel Soh aqara is part of the xiaomi eco system. So u could automate it with other devices in the xiaomi ecosystem. And few days back I managed to link from mihome to google home.
      Aqara itself has an app that you could link with google home too

      Joel Soh they have an ac plug but I don’t think it works for sg. But you could still control it with xiaomi universal ir. I have a video on it. (Now they updated to English)
      Heater switch shouldn’t be a prob, aqara single wall rocker.

    Hi Mads, pleased to see HomeKit products featured in a Singaporean’s context 😂 Great video btw! I wanted to ask whether you use these Aqara devices via Apple’s Home App. If so, is it possible to set them up only via the Home App or I have to use the Aqara App - similarly for the subsequent Aqara devices? Would the functionality of the smart home devices be the same on the Home App as with other HomeKit Enabled devices? My advanced apologies as I’m not sure if I’m explaining myself clearly, but perhaps you could make a video on using these Aqara devices with the Home App!

      Felix Kho the aqara switch itself no issues. It depends on the light. If u are referring to flickering, it could be resolved by adding a capacitor to the light. So far I’ve used COB LED, SMD LED, T5 and LED bulbs... SMD LED is the only light with minimal flickers
