Requires a secure 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network connection (does not support Wi-Fi 6 connectivity). For a stable connection, ensure that the Aqara Hub E1 is within 393 inches of the Wi-Fi router. Additionally, make sure your phone and the router are on the same local area network (LAN) when connecting the Aqara Hub E1.
Smart Home Control Center: Aqara Hub E1 can connect up to 128 Aqara devices, (*use of repeaters such as the Aqara Smart Plug or Aqara Smart Wall Switch(With Neutral) is required), and it does not support child devices from other brands. Zigbee 3.0 Support allows you to enjoy the benefits of the fastest, most stable, and energy-efficient smart home technology. (Please update the firmware version to the latest for optimal use.)
All-Round Compatibility: Makes Aqara child devices connected to it compatible with most popular ecosystems and voice assistants such as HomeKit, Alexa, Google, and IFTTT. (*The Hub E1 is not an end device, and it cannot be controlled by third-party ecosystems. In contrast, it exposes the supported Aqara child devices to such ecosystems and/or makes them controllable by voice.) Note: Not all Aqara child devices are compatible with all platforms. Please see details for each device.
Flexible and Small Size & Powered by USB-A: The Hub E1 shaft angle can be changed within 210 degrees, which makes its placing extremely flexible. The Smart Hub E1 is compact and very easy to carry, size: 4.25” x 1.18” x 0.3”, weight: 58 grams. Occupies less space and can be placed almost anywhere. Additionally, a regular USB-A port is integrated into the Hub’s housing so that it can be powered from almost any USB-equipped device such as a power bank, power strip, outlet, PC, or even a router.
Wi-Fi Repeater Function: The Hub E1 not only expands your Zigbee network but also acts as a Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz repeater and makes the coverage of other Aqara hubs and other Wi-Fi devices more stable. Please note: Only 2 devices are supported.
