Aqara Hub E1 – Compact USB Smart Controller (Zigbee 3.0)

Forget about bulky, expensive plastic boxes cluttered with cables. The Aqara Hub E1 is the most affordable and space-saving way to jumpstart your smart home. This microscopic control unit is disguised as a standard USB stick. To power it up, simply plug it into any available USB-A port (such as the back of your TV, a PC, a Wi-Fi router, or a standard wall power adapter).

Control Up to 128 Devices

Despite its thumb-drive size, this hub packs a massive punch. Operating on the fast and secure Zigbee 3.0 protocol, you can pair up to 128 different Aqara devices to it (including motion sensors, door contacts, temperature gauges, and smart plugs). It bridges all these components into the Aqara app, allowing you to monitor and control your home remotely from anywhere in the world.

Apple HomeKit and Voice Assistants

One of the greatest strengths of the Aqara ecosystem is its seamless integration with major third-party platforms. Any Zigbee sensor you connect to the Hub E1 is automatically exported and exposed to Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. This means you can control your entire setup effortlessly using voice commands via Siri or Google Assistant.

Bonus: Wi-Fi Extender Functionality

This hub is not just a Zigbee antenna. It also features a built-in Wi-Fi repeater (Extender). It helps boost your local 2.4 GHz network coverage, extending the signal to dead zones in your house (supports passing through connections for up to two other Wi-Fi devices).
