Aqara is a smart home brand based in China that offers sensors, switches, and sockets that can be controlled via a mobile app. Aqara devices use Zigbee technology to communicate with each other and with the Aqara Hub, which is the central device that allows users to control all the other Aqara devices in their home. Aqara is owned by Lumi United, a smart home company that received funding from Xiaomi in 2014 and has since joined Xiaomi's smart home ecosystem. The Aqara Hub is capable of supporting up to 32 child devices and uses an older version of the Zigbee protocol. SmartThings recently announced that it is working with Aqara, among other brands.
