Aqara has unveiled the Cube T1 Pro Controller with HomeKit and Alexa support. The new product comes on the heels of the release of the Smart Feeder for Pets. It retains the features of the previous model as well as additional actions like push, shake, rotate and tap. The new upgrade features a scene mode for seamless controlling of the scenes. The new Aqara controller’s versatility is the major highlight of the product.

The Aqara Cube T1 Pro controller supports HomeKit, Alexa, and Matter via the Aqara hub. The Aqara Hub M2 will subsequently receive an OTA update to accommodate support for Matter. The new product enables a more elegant way of controlling the HomeKit environment. Because the Scene Mode allows you to use each side to control various devices, flipping to side 1 or side 2 enables an activity like the Cinema scene or the morning routine. It can also control multiple sets of curtains or roller shades by rotating the Aqara Cube T1 Pro in the Aqara Home app. A flip+rotation in Side 3 will adjust the open percentage of the curtains while turning it around will dim your Aqara lights.

The Aqara Cube T1 Pro architecture is based on the Zigbee 3.0 protocol and can be used for up to two years on a single battery. New features and bug fixes are provided as OTA updates and the Aqara Cube T1 Pro with HomeKit support is available from Amazon.
