Aqara Wireless Remote Switch H1, Requires Aqara Hub, Zigbee 3.0, Configurable Remote Control with 7 Functions without Installation for Smart Homes, Compatible with Apple HomeKit, IFTTT

its' the double rocker version Perfect — that actually makes it even more useful. Let’s tweak it properly. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Double rocker, double the control Picked up the Aqara Wireless Remote Switch H1 (double rocker version) and it’s become one of the most useful little additions to my smart home setup. First things first — you do need an Aqara hub (Zigbee 3.0), so it’s not a standalone device. But once it’s connected, it’s incredibly flexible. The double rocker design is the real highlight. You’ve effectively got two separate buttons, and each one can handle single press, double press, and long press actions. That’s a surprising amount of control from something that just looks like a simple wall switch. The build quality is solid — nice tactile clicks, clean design, and it can be wall-mounted or used as a portable remote. It’s brilliant for: ✔️ Controlling multiple lights or rooms ✔️ Triggering scenes (movie mode, bedtime, etc.) ✔️ Giving quick physical control without opening apps ✔️ Making smart homes usable for everyone (not just the techy ones) Response time is quick and reliable, and once set up properly, it just works without any fuss. Honestly, once you start using it, you realise how useful having physical smart buttons around the house is — and you’ll probably end up wanting more. Five stars. Simple on the outside, surprisingly powerful on the inside — and the double rocker makes it even better.

Expensive and you'll need an Aqara hub or a custom built Home Assistant setup. That said, I have an Aqara hub and was frustrated with IKEA Matter over Thread buttons. There is a reason this button is expensive. It's perfect. Nice click and instant response over ZigBee. It would be nice to pay less, of course, but hey... I picked mine up on discount here on Amazon and got another 2 switches before the deal ended. Also to add, be careful of eBay or AliExpress as the listing could be a Chinese market switch that will probably refuse to work with a EU/UK Aqara hub and app.

I really like the Aqara ecosystem but the one thing that lets them down is the reliability of their Hub - I have the M2. It frequently disconnects from the network, resulting in all of the connected devices, of which I have around a dozen, complaining loudly through the app and just not working. This switch is reliable, however, just let down by the hub.

No Alexa Integration, it does not get seen through the Alexa Skill (the product does not state it does though) There are different guides to try and set this up through different regions, they don’t work and will just cause frustration. (I’m EU). If you have Aqara bulbs I’m sure it works much easier as no need to link to everything else. I’ve been able to setup IFTTT commands between my Bulbs (Lumiman, but it seems most other third party bulbs) and the App Smart Life (in some way related to Plus Minus). Using this link it is possible to trigger scenes to turn on/off bulbs. Not easy to setup, IFTTT does have a cost too for Pro or Pro+ to have more options. Product as with the other Aqara items are amazing for the price in my opinion.

This is just what I needed! For years I’ve been running on routines through sensors, but those of you who do this will know the issue of guests turning off the actual light switch in confusion if you didn’t quite adjust your routine times enough by winter or on an unexpectedly dark day. This solves it! Provided your light itself is already smart (online). This switch can be drilled out in premarked holes and mounted in place of your conventional UK wall switch (you can then link the l1 and l together behind the switch) and never have the worry again (rec sparky if not familiar with electrics). The one point I would make is this device does not play well with Alexa but you can routine it through the Apple home app or the Aqara app to turn on particular lights in your house. I mainly rely on an Apple eco system and this works ideal.

So the idea behind these is great, especially when hooked up to HomeAssistant and (e.g.) used in multi-way switching scenarios/scene setters. My gripe is with the build quality of this device, which is dreadful. To pry the back of these off (in order to attach to existing back-box or to change the battery) is so fiddly, and in my case even causes one to damage the device due to the force required with prying open via multiple screwdrivers. I don't understand why they couldn't think of a better design than this, maybe something magnetic or that slides out. Anything but this.

Switch works great , installation is very simple, you just pair it your hub and assign the switch to the device you would like to switch on . I am using this with the aqara t1m ceiling light and it can switch it on and off . I would like to see an aqara switch in future that can control the light hue and colour and also to be a dimmer . Right now the switch works great and can also be used in most aqara devices to close curtains or set scenes ect . This does not cost a fortune and is well worth the money. Suitable for renters as there is no cables to be attached and runs on batteries which are included.

So, the problem: you have smart lights and a dumb switch. You flick the switch and your lights are dead now. Not cool! So you go and buy a smart switch and you wire it in. And the problem persists! Because wired in smart switches still kill the power. Sounds familiar? Well, this wireless switch is the answer. It works as a smart button (two buttons actually) so instead of killing power you can send a signal to your lights to turn on and off, change scenes, etc. You can also clamp lights wiring from dumb switch days so they always stay on and then replace your dumb switch with H1. H1 can be installed on standard UK switch sockets. You just need to drill two holes in its backplate (hole locations are marked, no need to guess). H1 switch is a ZigBee device, but as we all know not all ZigBee hubs support all devices. My advice is to use Zigbee2MQTT with Sonoff ZigBee dongle running on Raspberry Pi - that will make ALL ZigBee devices compatible with each other. And then use Home Assistant to control and automate everything instead of using a multitude of silly proprietary apps. All in all - great switch which solves an actual problem. It also looks good. I only wish it would come in more colours. My dumb switches and outlets are grey and I would love to see Aqara devices in grey as well.

Très bon interrupteur sans fil, comme souvent avec Aqara. Installation ultra simple et excellente réactivité en Zigbee avec un hub Aqara. Parfait pour piloter des lumières ou déclencher des automatisations dans Home Assistant. Très polyvalent : simple clic, double clic, appui long… idéal pour créer des scénarios personnalisés. Bonne qualité de fabrication, boutons agréables à utiliser. À savoir : nécessite un hub Aqara. Globalement, une valeur sûre. Aqara reste une marque très fiable en domotique.

Funciona genial como mando para escenas. Es el H1 de doble tecla y va por Zigbee 3.0, así que es estable y consume poca batería. Sin cables: lo pegas donde quieras y, con un hub Aqara, lo usas en Apple Home, Alexa o Google. Cada tecla admite pulsación simple, doble y prolongada, así que tienes hasta 7 acciones en un solo dispositivo. Buen tacto y respuesta inmediata. Importante: requiere hub Aqara (no es Wi-Fi) y no corta la corriente directamente; es un controlador para automatizaciones. Si ya usas Aqara, es una compra redonda para añadir control sin hacer obra. Muy recomendable.

I am enjoying the aqara ecosystem, these switches work well. I've had another working for at least a year and a half without issues. I think setting up the automation required a bit of thinking though. When you first enter the world of aqara what's missing though is instruction on extending the network. It's not clear or apparent that this is done with more hubs. I'm not sure if any of the powered devices act as relays.

Ottimo, non mi ha mai tradito e ha sempre funzionato in maniera stabile con aqara hub. Compatibile con home-assitant e configurazione facile. Utile per tutti coloro che non possono cambiare l'interruttore originale o hanno un impianto elettrico datato.
