The Aqara Panel Hub S1 Plus has made its way to Europe, where it is marketed as the Aqara Panel Hub S1 Plus EU. This innovative smart home device was introduced at CES earlier this year, after its first appearance at IFA in September 2024.
Premium Smart Home Control
According to Aqara, the Panel Hub S1 Plus is a “premium smart home control panel.” It features two relay switches and six wireless switches, and it supports both Matter and Zigbee 3.0 protocols. This means the hub can connect to a broad array of smart home devices. Users have the ability to manage these connected devices through a 6.9-inch touch panel, which also allows them to keep track of their energy consumption through detailed reports. You can also create ten personalized dashboards using function-related cards to suit your specific requirements.
Video Streams and Communication
In addition, the panel lets you watch video feeds from compatible cameras or video doorbells on the display, while built-in microphones enable two-way chats with visitors. The device is equipped with a proximity sensor that turns on the screen when it detects motion from up to 2.5 m (~8.2 ft) away. Besides using the touch panel, you can also manage smart home devices linked to the hub through a smartphone app or popular voice assistants such as Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant.
Availability and Pricing
You can purchase the Aqara Panel Hub S1 Plus in several European nations, including the UK, the Netherlands, France, and Germany. The price is set at £289.99/€289.99, and it is available from the company’s online store or on Amazon. As for the US version of this product, which includes a speaker, there is no information yet on when it will be released in the United States.
