When it comes to IoT gadgets, Aqara is one of the major brands among the popular Xiaomi‘s ecological chain companies. That is because the company has got a whole lot of smart home gadgets ranging from smart door locks, smart curtain motor, smart camera, smart motion sensor, flood sensor as well as several IoT kits and gateway hub.
Even though the products are officially sold in China, they are mostly sold via third-party retailers like AliExpress, GearBest etc outside China. These products are mostly very popular as a result of their build quality, vital functionality and extremely affordable pricing (despite the third-party price jack-up). We may soon stop buying these cool Aqara smart IoT gadgets at exorbitant prices as the brand will soon launch in the US.
An exclusive tip from a reliable source within the company indicates that the brand will launch its products for the US market in the coming days. The source also hinted that sales of the products in the US will be online via Amazon US and we believe the products can ship to other countries outside the US.
