High-resolution displayA color LCD display offers a clear overview and intuitive control. Customize the display and choose between different icons, text sizes, and colors.
Versatile control optionsThe switch can be used not only as a classic light switch, but also to control smart home devices such as heating, blinds, or scenes in your home. The device features four configurable buttons that allow you to directly control various functions.
Compatibility with other smart home platformsThanks to support for Zigbee 3.0 and Matter (via bridge support), the switch is compatible with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Homey, thus supporting many common smart home systems.
Activation through proximity: Thanks to a built-in proximity sensor, the Aqara display switch detects nearby movement and automatically activates the display as soon as a person approaches. This feature not only improves the user experience by enabling instant and intuitive operation, but also serves as Trigger for smart home automations. In conjunction with other Aqara devices, the switch can, for example, turn on the lights, control blinds, or activate a custom scene as soon as an approach is detected.
Performance monitoring: The accompanying Aqara Home app allows for detailed monitoring of the energy consumption of directly connected devices. The app presents the consumption data in clear charts, enabling transparent energy analysis. Based on this data, users can create energy-saving plans and configure smart automations to reduce electricity costs. For example, a rule can be created that puts devices into energy-saving mode or automatically switches them off if they have not been used for a certain period of time.
