Philips Hue Vs Aqara

A starter kit and four e14 candle bulbs.

Philips hue vs aqara. The aqara hub is actually slightly further away from the corner bedroom than my hue hub. Next to the aqara temp sensor is a lamp with a philips hue white and color ambiance bulb. Philips hue white colour next to aqara smart bulb the aqara led bulb is slightly larger than the philips hue.

I bought the xiaomi aqara bridge and implemented all the sensors into home assistant. After integrating home assistant i wanted to have some door window sensors and temperature sensors. If that would be changed in any future update aqara or homekit they are the perfect affordable eu format and good looking alternative for the philips dimmer switch.

Hi i am wondering if it is possible to connect a xiaomi aqara temperature humidity sensor without the xiaomi gateway. Philips have announced new partnerships with feller niko and vimar under the friends of hue switch these are lighting management control companies that reduce light switches. A brief overview of philips hue how i got started with smart lighting.

I ve gone done the route with a handful of hue lights and a couple of trådfri lights and as i understand it the trådfri bulbs should work but i haven t found a definitive answer regarding hue lights. Now preset 2 dimming levels 30 and 50 under the double press and hold. The smart socket needs the mijia gateway or aqara hub depending on what you ve gone for to work.

The acrylic diffuser and plastic body are much lighter than the philips hue with the glass shade but the acrylic is not as fragile as glass. The mijia smart socket is about 10 on aliexpress while the aqara smart plug costs about 23 on amazon. They will become new friends of hue partners making compatible light switches that will work seamlessly with philips hue.

I have an aqara hub and a hue hub. Philips hue are a range of smart lights originally produced by philips but now owned by signify who still use the philips hue brand name even though signify and philips are different companies. If you are looking to get set up with smart lighting in as many rooms as possible you can start with the hue white starter kit e26.
