Your Smart Home, Right on Desktop

Its 6.9-inch IPS touchscreen serves as a command center for Aqara and Matter devices, with built-in Siri for hands-free voice control of Apple Home accessories. Stream live Aqara camera feeds and unlock doorbells directly from the panel—doorbell rings trigger an automatic pop-up so you can verify and unlock without reaching for your phone. Customizable dashboards with editable card sizes, one-tap auto-generated layouts, and proximity wake deliver a fluid daily experience. Zero wall-wiring USB-C power and a desktop-optimized tilt make installation effortless. As a Zigbee 3.0 hub and Matter bridge, it connects Aqara Zigbee devices into broader Matter ecosystems, with Wi-Fi 5 dual-band for stable whole-home performance. Up to 60 devices per dashboard, 10 customisable dashboards, and compatibility with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant make it the centrepiece for premium smart home households.

Aqara Panel Hub S1 Plus EU (Desktop Version) Features:

  • Centralised Smart Home Control: All-in-One Desktop Command Center

Turns the panel into a central control point for Aqara and Matter devices on one shared screen, so everything can be managed without flipping through multiple phone pages. Supports broad device coverage across curtains, RGB/CCT lights, HVAC, locks, and more. Thorough scene management groups repeated actions into quick one-tap routines—heading out means one tap handles lights, curtains, and your exit routine. Up to 60 device/scene cards per dashboard and 10 customizable dashboards. One-tap auto-generated dashboards speed up setup, while editable card sizes and custom icons make the interface personal and intuitive. Multiple themes and screensavers help the panel blend into any desk or room decor.

  • Native Siri, Voice-Activated Smart Home: Hands-Free Control at Your Desk

Built-in Siri on the device itself for Apple Home—connect lights, locks, scenes, and more by voice, turning the panel into a shared voice control system instead of only a touchscreen. Control the home hands-free while typing, on a call, or away from your phone. Make Apple Home routines easier for family members who rarely open the Aqara app. Adjust brightness, climate, or scenes during calls or screen-heavy work without reaching for a phone. Requires a HomePod or HomePod mini configured as a home hub. Delivering hands‑free Apple Home voice control right on the panel. 

  • Zero Installation with Tabletop Placement: USB-C Power, No Wall Wiring

Standardised USB-C power for straightforward setup and flexible desk or tabletop placement. Engineered tilt for a natural viewing angle and smooth touch interaction—the panel behaves like a modern desktop device, not a wall fixture. Wi-Fi 5 dual-band (2.4/5 GHz) for fast pairing, stable linking, and dependable all-day control. No electrician needed—simply plug in and go. Easier to move when your space changes. Place smart home control where it is genuinely useful, not only where wiring allows.

  • Camera Streaming & Doorbell Unlock: See and Respond from One Screen

Stream Aqara camera and doorbell feeds directly on the panel with automatic doorbell pop-up—live video appears without touching anything. Multi-camera view supports monitoring Aqara camera feeds (one at a time, with easy switching between cameras), and lock control from the live view lets users unlock after visual confirmation. Reduce dependence on the phone for daily door and camera interactions. Add a layer of security—see who is at the door before granting access. A major differentiator vs. Shelly and budget panels which lack any camera streaming capability.

  • Matter Ready for the Present and Future: Bridge Aqara Devices Across Ecosystems

Acts as a Matter bridge for Aqara Zigbee devices, helping move Aqara accessories into broader Matter ecosystems without replacing existing gear.(Control of non-Aqara Matter-over-Thread devices requires an additional Matter Controller.) Supports up to 6 wireless switches in Matter platforms, adding single-press triggers to favorite commands. Control more third-party devices from one panel, keep cross-platform homes manageable, and expand into new ecosystems as your setup grows. Compatible with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, and Home Assistant as a Matter Bridge.

  • Dashboards Customised for the Way You Live: Editable Cards, Auto-Generated Layouts, Full Personalisation

Adjustable card sizes make it easy to prioritise frequently used controls—if lighting is your main daily interaction, make those cards prominent while keeping lower-priority items compact. Dashboards can be auto-generated with a single tap or copied directly from the Aqara app, lowering the setup barrier for less technical users. Up to 10 dashboard with editable card sizes, custom icons, and device renaming, so the panel speaks your household’s language, not generic device names. Multiple themes and screensavers help the panel fit naturally into any home décor—on a desk or shelf, it looks intentional rather than like tech clutter.

  • Activates on Approach: Proximity Wake with Adjustable Range

Screen activates automatically within 1.5m as you approach, reducing friction between noticing the panel and using it—controls are ready before you touch. Adjustable screen wake range prevents false triggering in busy spaces. Auto-brightness via ambient light sensor keeps the display comfortable in any lighting. Auto-off when idle saves energy and reduces screen wear. Reach controls faster because the screen is already activated; everyday interaction feels smoother and more responsive.

*To add Matter devices to the Aqara Home app, an Aqara Matter controller is required.
