And it is that there is even smart devices for your pet. It is also true that in the same way that it is broad it is also unknown to many. But leaving these details aside, if there is a brand that you should know about, it is Aqara.
We have already talked about this brand on occasion, particularly its set Xiaomi Mi SmartSensor (yes, it is a brand under the umbrella of Xiaomi). This set of sensors allows you to get started in home automation and offers a highly recommended price, a good design and most importantly: integration with the most popular home automation systems, including Apple HomeKit.
Well, now they have launched a new product that is possibly what many users were looking for. And if you don't believe us, take a look. This is the new Aqara S1 Smart Scene, an intelligent switch that integrates a full color touch IPS LCD screen.
Why do you want something like that? Well, to be able to control a large part of the home automation from a single point and without having to resort to your smartphone, for example.
