Review: It’s ok very small - I guess it’s okay, the Aqara smart lock works well I’ve only purchased this because of it. Seems like it’s okay I guess the USB port I use is faulty and this sometimes disconnects?
Review: Cheap but also break fast - Does the job as a hub, breaks after about a little over 1 year, tho, just won't be able to reconnect, but considering how cheap the device is, I will just buy a new one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s ok very small
*by L***R on May 25, 2025*

I guess it’s okay, the Aqara smart lock works well I’ve only purchased this because of it. Seems like it’s okay I guess the USB port I use is faulty and this sometimes disconnects?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap but also break fast
*by S***N on November 4, 2025*

Does the job as a hub, breaks after about a little over 1 year, tho, just won't be able to reconnect, but considering how cheap the device is, I will just buy a new one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glad I heard about Aqara!
*by E***W on February 17, 2022*

I never thought setting up a motion detector could be that easy. But this inexpensive Aqara hub hooked my Aqara motion detector to my Apple HomeKit home automations. It works with Google and Alexa too. For the price you can't beat this thing. It supports thread, so it's using a much better protocol than Bluetooth, which has proven to be pretty unreliable in home automation. Thread is the future, and Aqara is supporting it. The motion sensor activates instantly and it turns the room light on instantly. Meanwhile the Aquar hub is downstairs plugged into an old USB power source in a wall plug by the front door. (I plan to put a motion sensor on the back of the mailbox door so I know when the mail arrives. If you've been hesitation putting in door and window sensors, light controls, motion and water leak detectors (and more) because of price. This is for you! Inexpensive, and it just works.
