The Aqara Display Switch V1 has been launched in Europe. This new smart wall switch is one of the brand’s latest releases, arriving alongside the Touchscreen Dial V1 EU and the Panel Hub S1 Plus.
The Display Switch V1 is a two-channel neutral wall switch featuring four buttons, two wired switches and two wireless switches. These can be used to control individual devices or wider scenes. They sit below a thin LCD screen that is 2.08 inches (~53 mm) wide and customizable; it can show button functions, the time and the indoor temperature. Plus, users can choose to adjust the text size, color and icons to suit their preferences.
Another feature is power consumption reports for connected devices, which are viewable in the Aqara Home app. On top of this, thanks to a built-in presence sensor, the screen can be switched on automatically. The device supports Bluetooth, Zigbee and Matter over Bridge, meaning it works with Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant.
The smart switch is only available in white, and measures 3.39 x 3.39 x 1.66 inches (86 x 86 x 42.2 mm). The Aqara Display Switch V1 EU is now available in Europe for £109.99/€109.99. It is unclear when the Display Switch V1 will launch in the US.
