Aqara, a global leader and pioneer in IoT, rounds out its home safety solutions today with the release of its Smoke Detector across the European market. This new sensor is packed with smart features and broad compatibility across smart home platforms, ensuring comprehensive protection by alerting homeowners to the first sign of smoke and enabling swift action to mitigate potential damage.

Equipped with a powerful siren, the Aqara Smoke Detector triggers an alarm of up to 85 decibels and a LED indicator that flashes red at the first detection of smoke. In addition, it triggers all siren-equipped Aqara hubs and other grouped Aqara smoke detectors throughout the home, alerting family members in every room.

Even when away from home, homeowners receive real-time alerts directly to their smartphones, allowing prompt action from any location. With Aqara’s indoor cameras, users can verify the alarm remotely, reducing the chance of false alarms. The Aqara Smoke Detector gives homeowners peace of mind knowing their properties and families are safeguarded, no matter where they are. Users with multiple properties or elderly family members who live in a separate home can monitor multiple locations with ease.

In the event of a false alarm, users can quickly silence loud sirens through the Aqara Home app, offering immediate relief without disarming the fire alarm. For added flexibility and convenience, users can also mute the alarm by pressing a connected Wireless Mini Switch or even showing a preset gesture to the Camera Hub G3. Full disarmament requires pressing the reset button on the device.

The Smoke Detector integrates seamlessly with major platforms including Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, and Google Home, and supports Matter-over-Bridge for future-proofed interoperability*. This allows the sensor to work with smart devices from Aqara and other brands, enhancing the home safety system’s functionality. For example, in case of smoke detection, RGB smart lights can flash red to visually alert home residents, or the HVAC system can shut down to prevent smoke from spreading.

Built upon the Zigbee protocol, the Aqara Smoke Detector minimizes maintenance with an ultra-long battery life of up to 10 years. Its sleek, compact design blends into any home decor while allowing rapid response in emergencies. Low-battery notifications ensure the uninterrupted protection, and users can perform self-tests through the Aqara Home app to maintain optimal functionality.

The Aqara Smoke Detector underscores the company’s dedication to innovative, user-centered designs that redefine home safety and automation. Aqara remains at the forefront of smart home technology that blends seamlessly into modern lifestyles while enhancing safety, convenience and overall quality of life.

The Aqara Smoke Detector is now available in Europe through select Aqara retailers. Availability at Amazon brand stores is expected in the coming weeks.

* An Aqara hub is required for use of the Smoke Detector. A Matter-compatible Aqara hub is required for Matter compatibility, though some smart home platforms may not support smoke detectors via Matter by the time of launch.
