Aqara Launches 'LED Strip T1' Smart Lightstrip [Video]

Aqara has announced the launch of 'LED Strip T1', its first smart lightstrip with global availability. The lightstrip displays up to 16 million colors and provides tunable white accent lighting. With an Aqara hub, the LED Strip T1 is compatible with a variety of mainstream ecosystems, including Matter, Apple HomeKit, Alexa, IFTTT as well as the Aqara Home app.

Built upon the Zigbee protocol, the LED Strip T1 has a lower idle power consumption than the Wi-Fi based lightstrips, making it eco-friendly and cost-efficient. It also serves as a repeater of the Zigbee network, which further strengthens network reliability and responsiveness. With a compatible Aqara hub such as the Hub M2, the LED Strip T1 supports the new IoT standard Matter as well as popular systems like Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT, and can be controlled by major voice assistants.




Highlights:
The LED Strip T1 is 2 meters (ca. 6.6 ft) in length, and can be extended using the Company's 1-meter Extension Kit. It supports a maximum length of 10 meters (ca. 33 ft). The lightstrip can be cut at 20 centimeter (ca. 7.9 in) intervals, making it highly customizable. The cut or unused part of the lightstrip can also be reattached to a separate Aqara LED lightstrip using extra standard 5-core ribbon cables and 5-pin connectors.

The RGB effects of the LED Strip T1 are independently addressable with a 20-centimeter interval, which means that it can display up to 10 different colors with dimming and other effects. The Aqara Home app provides various built-in effects for the LED strip - both static and dynamic- and allows users to customize the lighting effects as they prefer. All these built-in and customized effects can be used for home automations and scenes so that users can integrate smart lighting into the holistic smart home experience.



Additional Features:
● Manual controller for easy access: a physical controller allows users to turn on/off, switch lighting modes and activate the music sync mode without using any mobile apps.
● Local music sync mode: the LED Strip T1 can sync to the music locally without relying on the mobile device.
● Circadian lighting: the LED Strip T1 supports Adaptive Lighting in Apple Home and allows user to customize the circadian lighting schemes in Aqara Home with automations.
● Outdoor friendly: the LED Strip has an IP44 rating and can withstand dust and moisture, making it suitable for some outdoor user cases.
