Smart Heating Made Simple — 3 steps
Heat the Rooms You Use
Comfort Where You Need It. Less Heating Where You Don’t.
Instead of heating every room in exactly the same way, Aqara lets you build heating routines around how your home is actually used.
For example:
Morning
Warm the kitchen and bathroom before you get up.
Daytime
Reduce heating in unused rooms while you're out.
Evening
Bring the living room to a comfortable temperature before you settle down.
Night
Lower temperatures automatically while you sleep.
Smarter Automations
Heating That Responds to Your Home
Aqara smart heating can work together with compatible sensors and devices to create more intelligent automations.
For example:
Window opened
→ Pause heating to help avoid unnecessary energy use.
Nobody home
→ Reduce heating automatically.
You arrive home
→ Restore a comfortable temperature.
Bedtime routine activated
→ Adjust selected rooms automatically.
Temperature changes
→ Trigger heating routines based on your preferences.
Your heating becomes part of your smart home — rather than another standalone device.
