Which Smart Sensor is Right For Your Home?
It’s time to make your home adaptable to you, ensuring safety, convenience, and comfort. Choosing the right smart sensor is the first step and we are here to support this choice with our collection of smart sensors. Discover the benefits of smart homes and find which smart sensor is right for you.
How Smart Sensors Work
Smart sensors use wireless systems, including Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Ecobee, and Z-wave, to effortlessly connect with other smart home devices. These modernized protocols enable easy and seamless integration with smart hubs, smart speakers, and platforms like the Apple HomeKit, ensuring a cohesive smart home experience.
The center of this smart system is the home hub, controlling and coordinating all communication among devices. To get the most out of your smart home, ensuring compatibility among your sensors and devices is crucial.
Be aware that sensors that rely solely on Wi-Fi may have limitations in interacting with devices outside their specific system, potentially reducing the full potential of your smart home set-up.
What Is A Motion Sensor?
Motion sensors are a key smart accessory that suits any smart home, best suited for areas where there is high-traffic such as corridors and kitchens. Each motion sensor can easily be set up to automatically turn on lights and other devices once motion has been detected in an area - and turn them off when it’s not.
Why Choose Aqara for Motion Sensors
Timeout adjustments
The timeout can now be configured to be between 1 second to 200 seconds, referring to the time the motion sensor shuts itself off after detecting motion.
Sensitivity and detection range
The sensitivity of the motion sensor can be adjusted between Low, Medium, and High - referring to the distance it will be triggered from, which reduces false positives.
If you choose the High-sensitivity option, the motion sensor can detect motion as far away as 7 metres (with a 150-degree angle. To only trigger the motion sensor for nearby movements.)
If you choose the Low-sensitivity option, the motion sensor can detect motion from 2 meters away (with a 170-degree angle).
Smart home notifications
The Aqara Motion Sensor can send you notifications upon detection of motion, which increases your home security and lets you keep an eye on your pets.
All-round compatibility
Compatible with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, IFTTT, and the Aqara App. The motion sensor is highly compatible with smart devices from other brands to create the perfect smart home lifestyle.
What Is A Home Gas Sensor?
Home gas sensors can be easily and reliably integrated into your smart home. Each gas sensor has a built-in 85 dB alarm*, which is loud enough to alert those in the home that a gas leak has been detected, and further action needs to be taken.
Why Choose Aqara For Home Gas Sensors
Remote alerts and push notifications
Due to its support with the latest Zigbee 3.0 wireless technology, Aqara Smart Gas Detectors can be easily installed into your home - but this also enables other reliable functions such as remote alerts and push notifications. Supported by the Apple HomeKit device, any detected gas leaks can trigger Apple’s Critical Alert, which adds urgency to notifications and ensures home safety.
*Gas sensors only work for methane (CH4)m, which is the main component of CNG and piped gas (town gas). The Aqara Smart Gas Detector does NOT detect Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG), which is commonly used for homes without piped gas in Singapore.
What Is A Temperature Sensor?
Temperature sensors are a smart home accessory that is used to monitor and adjust your home’s temperature, humidity, and air pressure over the course of the day.
Why Choose Aqara For Temperature Sensors?
Digestible quantitative information
Thanks to the Aqara smart sensors, you can also see historical data of temperature, humidity, and air pressure values over the day - or week - in an easy-to-read graph.
Adjustable temperature
Due to these graphs and further information, you can easily make small adjustments to read which need sensitive climate control, such as:
- Wine cellars to ensure you preserve wine quality and cork management
- Wardrobes that contain leather bags and shoes
Small compact size
- Utilizing its Zigbee technology, its CR2032 battery can last up to 2 years.
- An adhesive pad on the smart sensor means that it can be attached anywhere, including a table or counter.
Benefits of Smart Sensors
Increased convenience
Smart sensors enhance convenience by automating every task in the home. They can automatically turn on lights when you enter a room, increase or decrease the temperature, or regulate humidity levels in the home.
This technology increases efficiency and creates a more comfortable, and convenient living space.
Energy savings
Each smart sensor plays an important role in home lighting, gas, and humidity control. They help to reduce electricity consumption by monitoring movement and switching off after a period of inactivity.
This not only saves energy but also enhances convenience in managing home devices.
