Aqara’s first smart lighting device, the LED Strip T1 multipurpose RGBCCT lightstrip, displays up to 16 million vibrant colors and also provides tunable white accent lighting. It also supports a wide range of third-party smart home platforms and can be integrated into various smart home setups.

The new light strip is now available on the company’s Amazon brand stores in North America (US, Canada) and Europe (France, Italy, Spain, UK) as well as via selected Aqara retailers worldwide.

Built upon the Zigbee protocol, the LED Strip T1 has a lower idle power consumption than Wi-Fi-based lightstrips, making it more eco-friendly and cost-efficient. It also serves as a repeater of the Zigbee network, which further strengthens network reliability and responsiveness.

With a compatible Aqara hub, such as the Hub M2, the LED Strip T1 supports the new IoT standard Matter as well as popular systems like Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT, and can be controlled by major voice assistants.

The LED Strip T1 is 2 meters (ca. 6.6 ft) in length and can be extended using the company’s 1-meter Extension Kit. It supports a maximum length of 10 meters (ca. 33 ft). The lightstrip can be cut at 20 centimeter (ca. 7.9 in) intervals, making it highly customizable. The cut or unused part of the lightstrip can also be reattached to a separate Aqara LED lightstrip using extra standard 5-core ribbon cables and 5-pin connectors.  

More importantly, the RGB effects of the LED Strip T1 are independently addressable with a 20-centimeter interval, which means that it can display up to 10 different colors with dimming and other effects.

The Aqara Home app provides various built-in effects for the LED strip — both static and dynamic — and allows users to customize the lighting effects as they prefer. All these built-in and customized effects can be used for home automations and scenes so that users can integrate smart lighting into the holistic smart home experience. For example, users can amplify the home alert system with the LED strip, using different colors or effects to indicate whether the security system is armed or not and if there is a potential threat. It’s also possible to create customized home scenes, such as an evening scene with warm lighting or an entertainment scene that dims the lighting for a better movie watching experience.

The Aqara Home app recently introduced a new feature allowing users to sync the scenes to HomeKit7. This means that users can set up specific scenes that were previously only available via Aqara app and be able to control these scenes with third-party apps such as Apple Home, Alexa, and Google Home.

The LED Strip T1 also includes a manual controller for easy access. This physical controller allows users to turn on/off, switch lighting modes and activate the music sync mode without using any mobile apps.

With local music sync mode, the LED Strip T1 can sync to the music locally without relying on the mobile device.

In addition, the LED Strip T1 supports Adaptive Lighting in Apple Home and allows user to customize the circadian lighting schemes in Aqara Home with automations.

Finally, the LED Strip T1 has an IP44 rating and can withstand dust and moisture, making it suitable for some outdoor user cases.
