Aqara Showcases Five New Products for CES 2026
Aqara has today outlined a range of new products and platform updates at CES 2026, focusing on what it describes as “intelligent space” technology. The announcements cover climate control, cameras, sensors, smart locks, and a new management platform, with an emphasis on Matter compatibility, local automation, and Apple ecosystem integration.
Among the headline products are the Thermostat Hub W200 and the Camera Hub G350, both of which act as central controllers for Aqara’s wider system. Each supports Matter and includes Wi-Fi, Thread, and Zigbee connectivity, allowing them to manage Aqara devices alongside compatible third-party Matter accessories within a single automation setup.
The Thermostat Hub W200 integrates with Apple’s Adaptive Temperature and Clean Energy Guidance features in iOS 26. Adaptive Temperature uses information from the Apple Home app and iPhone location data to adjust heating or cooling based on whether occupants are at home, asleep, away, or expected to return. Clean Energy Guidance adjusts temperature settings slightly to take advantage of periods when electricity generation is cleaner or potentially cheaper, while aiming to maintain comfort. The W200 also functions as a wall-mounted control panel, with a 4-inch colour touchscreen that can display Aqara doorbell feeds and provide door lock control.
The Camera Hub G350 is Aqara’s first Matter-certified camera and supports the Matter 1.5 specification. It is an indoor pan-and-tilt model with a dual-lens system, combining a 4K wide-angle camera with a 2.5K telephoto lens for up to 9x hybrid zoom. The camera supports local AI features such as person and pet detection, facial recognition, and sound alerts, and includes automatic subject tracking to keep detected movement within the frame. Aqara says Matter support is intended to allow broader interoperability with third-party platforms that support Matter cameras.
Aqara also introduced two new sensing products aimed at more advanced presence and activity detection. The Spatial Multi-Sensor FP400 uses mmWave radar and on-device processing to track multiple occupants within a space, including their position and posture, such as standing, sitting, or lying down. The sensor supports both Thread and Zigbee and can provide additional metrics such as headcount and dwell information. When mounted on its side, it also supports fall detection, making it suitable for use in environments such as assisted living or healthcare settings.
The Multi-State Sensor P100 is a smaller, Matter-enabled sensor designed to detect a wide range of physical events. Using a 9-axis sensor and onboard processing, it can detect motion, vibration, taps or knocks, drops, and tilt. In addition to standard door and window monitoring, it can be used to track object movement, detect glass break events, or monitor the handling of valuable items, depending on placement and configuration.
Completing the hardware announcements is the Smart Lock U400. This deadbolt lock uses Ultra Wideband for proximity detection and supports Apple HomeKey in Apple Wallet on iPhone and Apple Watch. When enabled, the lock can unlock automatically as the user approaches the door, at a distance of roughly two metres. The U400 is Matter-certified and described by Aqara as Aliro-ready, with the intention of supporting future digital key standards and additional wallet platforms.

Alongside new devices, Aqara also presented Aqara Builder, a cloud-based platform designed for configuring and managing smart spaces across one or more locations. Aqara Builder is intended for both residential and commercial use and provides tools for remote access, project configuration, monitoring, and ongoing support, with a focus on simplifying deployment and maintenance of Aqara-based systems.
