The two gang version, for the double rocker plates common in Dubai bedrooms.

A battery scene button that sticks anywhere, with no wiring and no landlord permission.

The budget anchor for large switch counts, in Wi-Fi or Zigbee, one to three gang.

The colour bulb system to buy where scenes matter more than switch count.

A colour bulb for a handful of lamps where the Hue price cannot be justified.

A neutral-wire Zigbee switch with the H1 form factor and a stronger load rating.

The current generation Aqara rocker switch, for boxes that have a neutral.

Real dimming on the circuit rather than in the bulb, in the EU plate format.

The long-running Aqara switch, still the value pick where a neutral exists.

The 20A rated switch for water heater circuits, where an ordinary smart switch has no business.

Hides in the back box and makes the existing switch plate smart without replacing it.

Two circuits from one module behind a double rocker plate, with the plate left alone.

A battery button that sticks anywhere and triggers scenes, with nothing wired.

A wall-mounted scene controller with a screen, for majlis walls where one panel runs the room.

A battery cube that runs a different scene for each way you turn it.

The cheapest honest way to put a lamp or an appliance on a schedule, with no hub.

A low cost Wi-Fi module that hides behind the existing plate, with no hub to buy.

Puts an existing motorised shutter or blind on a schedule without changing the motor.

Four independently switched sockets and surge protection behind a television or a desk.

A small robot finger that presses your existing switch, with nothing wired at all.

One screen remote that replaces the pile of infrared handsets and reaches smart devices too.

A segmented colour strip for a media wall or a headboard, with no hub needed.

Dimming hidden in the back box, so the existing plate stays and every fitting on the circuit dims.

A Zigbee E27 bulb for homes already running an Aqara hub, with tunable white as the daily setting.

The GU10 version, for a handful of spots you want individually controlled rather than a whole ceiling grid.

A Zigbee cove strip that joins the same hub as your Aqara switches and spots, rather than living in its own app.

A recessed downlight specified during a fit-out, where the ceiling is open and the lamp is part of the design.

The surface mounted version, for concrete soffits and finished ceilings where cutting a recess is not an option.

One supply point feeding several aimable heads, and the layout can change after the ceiling is closed.

A no-hub downlight for a retrofit, where the point is colour and tunable white without a Zigbee system behind it.

A one-for-one replacement for the flush ceiling fitting in a bedroom or a corridor, with no ceiling work.

The large format version, sized to be the main light in a living room rather than an accent in a bedroom.

Aimable flood heads for washing a villa facade or lighting a driveway, with the IP rating as the first number to read.

Staked garden heads for planting beds and path edges, best run in during landscaping rather than after.

A fixed line of addressable points along a roofline or parapet, so seasonal lighting stops being an annual ladder job.

A wall mounted fitting for an entrance, a terrace or a garden wall, on the point that is already there.

Hung string lighting for a terrace or a pergola, the cheapest honest way to make an outdoor space usable at night.

The upper end of the no-hub strips, bright and segmented enough for a cove where the budget will not stretch to Hue.

A strip and camera that match the light behind the screen to what is on it, sized for 55 to 65 inch televisions.

Brings LED strip that is already installed into a Matter system, without pulling the cove apart.
