Features:
- Two Protocols, No Compromise: Featuring dual-protocol support, this device lets you switch between modes based on your preference. Choose Thread mode for a hub-free connection to third-party Matter ecosystems, or Zigbee mode for exclusive Aqara features. It remains fully backward-compatible with classic Aqara Zigbee hubs without sacrificing Matter functionality.
- Color Coded Energy Feedback:Track everything from live power usage to monthly targets with a dynamic color spectrum that simplifies complex data into an instant visual glance. The built-in RGB LED also works as a fully adjustable smart light via Matter — though its full color-sensing feedback suite requires Zigbee mode and an Aqara hub.

- Never Waste an Outlet: Featuring a sleek, low-profile design, it won’t crowd neighboring outlets, allowing you to fully utilize every single wall socket. It’s the ideal space-saving solution for households with a shortage of plug options.
- Safety That Reacts: The built-in child lock keeps curious little hands safe by preventing accidental presses. Meanwhile, its automatic shut-off triggers instantly during overloads or overheating—protecting your home from electrical hazards completely hands-free.
- To use the device with a particular Matter ecosystem, a Thread-enabled Matter Controller of this ecosystem is required. For Zigbee mode, Aqara Zigbee hub is required.
- When charging protection is enabled, plug automatically shuts off after 30 minutes of power draw below 3W.
- For the child lock function, the button on outlet can still be used to trigger a network or factory reset. To completely disable all button triggering using Zigbee protocol, enable Accidental Removal Protection in the settings of the Aqara hub connected.
- Zigbee mode and Aqara hub are required to achieve the remote control, load limit setting, LED light in automation, subtle LED configuration functionalities.
Key Features at a Glance
Two Protocols, No Compromise
The device features dual protocol support: in Thread mode, no hub is required to connect to third-party Matter ecosystems*, while Zigbee mode** allows for exclusive Aqara functionalities. It also supports backward compatibility with the classic Aqara Zigbee hubs without compromising Matter support. You can switch between desired protocols based on preference.
Connect to all major platforms as long as you have a Matter controller and a Thread border router.
Keep your setup and expand your options: Zigbee works with existing Aqara hubs for easy, reliable integration, and you can bring this device into your preferred ecosystems via Matter Bridging (using the same Aqara Hub) for immediate cross-platform control.
Your smart home mesh shouldn't stop at walls. The plug never sleeps, so it never stops relaying. It serves as a Zigbee/Thread router node and automatically extends coverage without any user setup.
*To use the device with a particular Matter ecosystem, a Thread-enabled Matter Controller of this ecosystem is required.
**Aqara Zigbee hub required.
Smarter On/Off for your Everyday Appliances
Create a smarter, more efficient home. From brewing coffee as you wake, to making your dumb lights smart, these plugs automate chores and enhance your existing products through remotely controlling their on/off.

Press any button 10 times continuously until the blue indicator light starts flashing, indicating the device has entered network configuration mode.
What's the difference between factory reset and device reset?
Reset only clears the device’s network configuration information, while other configuration items are retained; Factory reset clears both network information and configuration information, restoring the device to its factory state.
Does Power Plug H2 UK have over-heating and overload protection functions?
Power Plug H2 UK supports over-heating and overload protection functions.
What security measures can ensure the safe use of the outlet ?
In Zigbee mode, the outlet supports maximum power setting; in Matter mode, the maximum power defaults to 3250W. When power exceeds the maximum set power, it will trigger overload protection and the device will automatically turn off the relay to ensure safety. (To avoid false triggering, the actual trigger value may increase by 5%).
Both Matter and Zigbee can trigger additional protection measures through power-related Automation configurations.
How to confirm if the connection between Aqara Power Plug H2 UK and the Aqara Hub is stable?
Triple-press any button three times. If the Hub gives a voice prompt “Connection normal, confirmed”, it means the connection between the smart outlet and the Hub is stable. If there is no voice prompt, move the smart outlet closer to the Hub and try again.
