Turning your home into a smart home is one of the best ideas for your household. Equipped with devices and sensors that do their jobs automatically, your home can become more secure, efficient, and comfortable.

That’s where Aqara comes in as a rising star in smart home technologies. The brand can be your one-stop-shop for almost everything you need to start living in the future right now. Even better, there’s an excellent opportunity to get some of Aqara’s flagship products at a considerable discount this October.

All you need to do is take advantage of Aqara’s deals for Amazon’s Prime Day 2.0. Let’s look at the products available and the amazing deals on offer.

What Is Prime Day?

Amazon’s Prime Day happens once a year. During a short promotional period, the company provides Amazon Prime members with discounts to rival Black Friday. The deals for Prime Day include early access sales at unprecedented prices.

However, this year has a special place in the history of Prime Day.

A similar event took place in July. Fortunately, if you missed that one, Amazon has decided to do it all over again – hence the 2.0 designation. This bonus festival of great deals will happen on October 11-12.

You can get your hands on premium Aqara products within that time slot. Here’s a review of select smart home devices that will be available for special prices on Prime Day.

Aqara Camera Hub G3

If you need a powerful home security solution with plenty of additional functionality, the Aqara Camera Hub G3 is the best choice.

The G3 is a 2K camera with perfect image quality. It features a wide lens that covers 110 degrees and a pan-and-tilt motor which allows the camera to rotate fully, giving you complete 360-degree coverage. It can track humans and pets, so that you have no problem keeping an eye on the family members and fur babies even when you’re away from home. But that’s only the beginning of what the G3 can do.

As the name says, this product is a camera hub. In other words, it’s not meant merely to record, but to serve as the central point of your smart home system. To fulfill this purpose, the G3 is built for seamless connectivity.

The device has the capacity to connect with nearly 130 other Aqara devices for ideal remote control and home automation. The G3 does all this using a combination of technologies.

Firstly, the camera output is handled by a low-latency USB Type-C connection. Secondly, the G3 has both 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi options, enabling it to connect to any type of network. Finally, there’s the infrared controller, and it’s more than your standard TV IRC.

Using the infrared technology, the G3 can take any available device with IR capabilities and make it smart. Of course, the infrared automation will function without issues even if your internet is down.

This hub is also exceptional in terms of the support for various assistants. The G3 can connect to Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, and Amazon Alexa. It’s also compatible with IFTTT.

As a camera, the G3 is downright impressive. It has excellent facial recognition for personalized automated actions. For instance, once the camera recognizes your young kid, it can send a message to you so that you will know for sure he or she has arrived home from school.

There are even more great features, but listing them all would take an entire dedicated article. We’ll only mention that the G3 features cutting-edge data encryption, hand gesture recognition, sensor integration, and event timeline recording.

Aqara Camera Hub G2H Pro

The G2H Pro is an absolute smash hit among Aqara customers. This camera hub has similar features to the G3 with some powerful additional options.

The camera functionality is expanded to impressive levels. Besides the Full HD 1080p resolution and a wide 110-degree angle, the G2H Pro can also record in the so-called “fish-eye” mode that covers 146 degrees. In other words, one camera can cover an entire room without rotating.

But this device isn’t meant to function perfectly only in daytime or ideal lighting conditions. The camera has advanced night vision that can capture crisp image even in dark rooms.

Once it starts recording, the G2H Pro may store data in several ways. For example, you can insert a MicroSD card for local storage, configure the camera to stream the recorded content directly to network attached storage (NAS), or upload the recordings to a cloud service.

You can even customize what’s being recorded. The camera can be adjusted to include or exclude particular zones and employ privacy masking so that no sensitive data stays on file. Additionally, it is a HomeKit Secure Video video, which means HomeKit users can enjoy face recognition that makes the device tailored for your home.

The G2H Pro can do all this as a camera. As a smart home hub, it becomes an essential component of your setup.

With connectivity options for 128 Aqara devices, the camera is at the heart of your smart home system. The hub can control other devices, communicate with controllers and sensors, and issue automation commands.

Other impressive features of the G2H Pro include a two-way audio, full integration with the HomeKit system, customized greeting ringtones, and much more.

Aqara Curtain Driver E1 (Track and Rod Versions)

There’s something cool and futuristic about commanding objects to move using only your voice. You can do just that with your curtains with the Aqara Curtain Driver E1.

This versatile smart home gadget can accommodate most curtain setup. If you have I- or U-rails, you can go for the E1 Track Version. On the other hand, the E1 Rod Version supports the rod curtains.

You can control the E1 manually or through various voice assistants and smart home systems. The device has support for IFTTT, Alexa, HomeKit, and Google Assistant, with more options coming. This means that you only need to say what you want, and the curtains will move accordingly. But you don’t even have to speak to make the E1 work.

The curtain driver can be scheduled to open or close the curtains depending on the weather, sunset or sunrise, and many other automation factors. For example, the E1 has a built-in light sensor, and you can set it to close the curtains automatically when it’s too bright. Use this option and the curtains will do their job in the background once the specified conditions are met.

Besides the automation, the E1 offers more freedom in terms of battery recharges. With a massive 6,000 mAh battery, the device will work for up to an entire year before it needs recharging. And if you don’t want to recharge it even once a year, there’s the option to keep it powered constantly via USB-C.

The E1 installs in minutes. All you’ll need to do is mount the device onto your tracks or rod and set it up using the Aqara Home app. Once everything’s in place, the curtain drivers will be able to move your curtains back and forth, supporting up to 12 kg (26.45 pounds).
