Aqara Teams Up With LG Uplus For Smart Home Security Solution

Oğuz Çakır — Thu, 24 Nov 2022 10:57:38 +0000

Aqara, has teamed up with LG Uplus (LG U+), one of the top telecom operators in South Korea, and upgraded the co-branded smart home security solution for local users. This solution, named My Home Guard, includes both hardware devices and home security services jointly developed by both parties. Built on the previous generation, the updated solution features a more advanced home security camera with higher resolution, a pan-and-tilt motor, as well as AI-enabled human tracking and pet tracking. The original solution was first introduced to the market in September 2020 under the Aqara – LG U+ partnership.

What does Aqara and LG U+ partnership offer?

For years, telecommunication operators have been exploring new growth opportunities outside cellular and fixed broadband services, and the smart home market shows high potential. Operators are increasingly looking to smart home services for additional revenues, higher customer stickiness and brand differentiation.

They are uniquely positioned within the smart home ecosystem thanks to their already well-developed relationship and trust with their vast subscriber base. Aqara has been collaborating with global operators such as LG U+ to offer seamless connected home experiences to users while boosting smart home adoption.

The My Home Guard solution is one of the smart home services provided by LG U+ in South Korea. With a monthly subscription, LG U+ users receive a home security kit, which includes an indoor surveillance camera, two door and window sensors and a motion sensor. Like all Aqara products, the devices in this kit are easy to install and set up, and require no tool. Moreover, the devices are pre-paired, which means subscribers only need to connect the camera to the app, and other accessories will connect automatically.

Compared to the original version, the updated home security solution features a more advanced home security camera with new functionalities and upgrades, including:

2K High Resolution: the 2304*1296 pixel sensor enables crystal-clear image quality;
Local AI: thanks to a powerful NPU, the cameras distinguishes human and pets, so that pet owners can set the security system to be triggered only when human shade is detected, which significantly reduces false alarms caused by pet movements;
360° Viewing Angle: the combo of the 110° wide-angle lens and a pan-and-tilt motor provides 360° viewing angle, which leaves no blind spot in the room and enables advanced features like automatic cruising, human tracking and pet tracking;
Privacy Protection: the camera is equipped with a privacy shutter that physically covers the camera lens when the camera is deactivated, so that users are reassured that their privacy is well protected;
Dual-band Wi-Fi Support: both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi networks are supported, which allows better bandwidth for the camera.

The solution also includes the 24/7 home security monitor service. Once armed, the home security system will push mobile notifications to the subscribed user and automatically activate the home camera to record if an intrusion is detected, whether it is an unexpected motion at home or the opening of the front door.

The mobile app has the one-click-to-police button, so that users can check the real-time camera feeds and simply push one button to contact the police (112) if an intrusion is confirmed. Home accident insurance is also part of this solution, where the subscribers can receive up to 10 million won in the case of theft and break-in, and up to 20 million won in the case of fire damage.

The co-branded home security solution has gained increasing popularity among local users, attracting hundreds of thousands of subscribers. LG U+ and Aqara are looking to extend the partnership to more smart home services such as home automation.

Aqara E1 USB Stick Hub with MIJIA and HomeKit compatibility launched in China

Jed John Ikoba — Wed, 19 May 2021 16:49:04 +0000

Xiaomi eco-chain company Lumi technology has launched the Aqara E1 USB Stick hub for the Chinese market. The device comes with compatibility with Apple Homekit and Xiaomi’s Mi Home. The launch comes not too long after the device was listed on the Mi Home app.

Aqara E1 USB Stick Hub

The Aqara E1 USB Stick Hub is a portable device that does not require a power supply input for its operations, and a built-in plug is absent, unlike its predecessor and a few other similar hubs. This design will come in handy in areas where there is no constant power supply. It can be plugged into a power bank or any other USB port and it will not only function as a hub but can also serve as a Wi-Fi extender to help far-off devices connect seamlessly to an internet router.

However, it is not clear whether the possible devices that can connect via the hub would be outside the Mi Home architecture. A more comprehensive connectivity profile would mean that the device is more versatile. The E1 also features Zigbee 3.0 for enhanced overall performance and power efficiency. The Aqara app also provides connectivity support for the device.

Some functionality is absent in the E1, like the alarm, speaker, buzzer, and Bluetooth connectivity. The Bluetooth drawback is not much of a severe flaw as some of the devices on the Mi Home ecosystem take care of such. The USB Stick hub is compatible with Aqara and MIJIA sensors, buttons, outlets, and switches.

The Aqara E1 is now on sale in China at an affordable price of 119 yuan (~$18). There is no word yet as to when it will be launched for the global market.

Just like its predecessor, the T1 Pro utilizes gyroscope technology to sense which of the six sides of the Cube is up. This will then determine the automation or scene that will be triggered.

Further, the company has promised to push a firmware update that will deliver HomeKit compatibility to the Cube T1 Pro. The device is presently compatible with the Mi Home app and Aqara Home app only. It also uses Zigbee 3.0 protocol which means it may only work with Zigbee 3.0 hubs.

There is no word yet on when the product will be available but it carries a price tag of 179 yuan (~$28). Aqara also unveiled a set of smart switches. The switches are dubbed Aqara E1 Smart Wall Switches and come in both wired and wireless versions.

Aqara Hub E1 with a USB stick design listed on the Mi Home app

Jed John Ikoba — Fri, 07 May 2021 03:43:42 +0000

Xiaomi‘s ecological chain company Aqara has over the years carved a niche for itself as a dependable brand for smart home gadgets. The company has grown to become one of the major players in the industry and its products can be found in millions of homes in different regions of the world including the US, China, and Europe among others. The tech company continues to expand its product catalog and seems to be working on launching a new smart home hub.

A device that looks like a new Aqara hub has been spotted on the Mi Home app. The device is listed as Aqara Hub E1 and is basically a Zigbee 3.0 hub that also arrives with HomeKit compatibility. In terms of the design, the Aqara Hub E1 adopts a USB stick design reminiscent of the Mi TV Stick, Amazon Fire TV Stick, and other such products. It has a USB-A plug on one end which can be plugged into any USB port.

Why this sounds interesting is that previous models get their power supply from a regular power supply but this model seems to use any USB port as a power source. We can’t confirm this since the entire specs are yet to be revealed.

The product is only listed on the Mi Home app Mainland China server and isn’t listed on the Aqara app. That is suggestive of the device getting launched in China soon. It may be launched under crowdfunding on Xiaomi Youpin in the coming days. We’ll keep you posted if more details emerge.
