Aqara Products Coming to Amazon.com Dec 17th
Aqara has announced via their official Twitter account that December 17th will see the official release of their products for the US market. If the promotional image is anything to go by, this will include the US version of the Aqara hub, the US smart plug, contact sensor, temperature/humidity sensor, motion sensor, water leak sensor, and the Aqara Mini Switch.
Aqara has already been ‘officially’ selling their products twice before on amazon.com, with many of the aforementioned products, however, on both occasions, they sold out very quickly and were seemingly not restocked for whatever reason. The Hub was the device that seemed to be the most in-demand generally.
The company will also be offering a Starter Kit that would include the basics to get your Aqara Smart Home setup running, which includes one of each of the following; Aqara Hub, Smart Plug, Mini Switch, Contact Sensor, Temperature/Humidity Sensor, and Motion Sensor. We presume the Starter Kit will be offered at a slightly lower price than if one were to buy them separately.
Notably absent at present, are the new US wired Aqara switches, which we’re told are still in beta testing, but hopefully will see the light of day early next year. These switches will be available in both ‘neutral’ and ‘no-neutral’ options, with one and two-button versions of each.
Until next week, you can check out our video review of the US Aqara Smart plug to get an idea of what to expect;

I’m really hoping it will be Aqara’s new ZigBee 3.0 products that are coming to Amazon next week.
what you get next week is pictured and detailed above. you need to read dude!
This dude did read, and there is no concrete information to say whether any of the pictured products are the new “T1” versions that are ZigBee 3.0 certified -or- the original non-T1 versions.
Based on screenshots from Aqara’s announcement of the M2 Gateway and T1 sensor / switches (see https://homekitnews.com/2019/07/08/aqara-unveils-new-m2-homekit-hub-switches-locks-cameras-and-more/) there is no discernible difference between the external shape and design of the T1 and original non-T1 versions of their Contact Sensor, Leak Sensor, Motion Sensor, and Temp/Humidity Sensor. So looking at the photo in Aqara’s twitter feed doesn’t tell me which version of those 4 sensors will be for sale on Amazon, and neither does the text of this article.
fair enough keith!
i think it’s going to be the “old” versions of aqara sensors.
I can confirm with 99.9% certainty that the sensors will not be the T1/zigbee 3.0 versions of the sensors.
