Aqara is to add support for over 50 new Matter device types, making it one of the most comprehensive smart home platforms in terms of Matter support, alongside Samsung SmartThings and Home Assistant.
It is also bringing advanced bridging to all its Matter controllers, allowing users to integrate Aqara’s advanced automation features into any Matter-compatible smart home platform via scenes and triggers, including Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home.
The new Matter device types that can now connect to Aqara Matter controllers include robotic vacuums, dimmable plugs, smoke and CO alarms, air quality sensors, and more.
This new update will be rolled out on Aqara Home version 5.1.9 and Matter Controller firmware version 4.3.5 later this month.
