## Description

desertcart.com: Aqara Smart Hub E1 for Home Automation, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Required, Features Aqara Zigbee (Not Third-Party), Powered by USB-A, Small Size, Supports HomeKit, Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT : Electronics

Review: Works great with support from Reddit - I bought this to give me remote control access to my U100 Smart Lock. I had trouble trying to add the unit in the app. Helpful things I learned on Reddit forums: Wifi: I have an Eero mesh system ( 6E-Pro units) So I unplugged all of the units except my main router and put the network in 2.4ghz mode during setup. This allowed the unit to connect to my wifi. I have had no issues with the unit staying on the network with the other Eero units plugged back in and 5ghz turned back on. Homekit: I could not get the unit to add to the Aqara App. But once I added it to home kit it showed up in the app after about an hour. It also allowed me to bind my smart lock to the Hub. This unit great cost-effective unit that just adds more functionality to my U100 smart lock which I am very happy with.
Review: Cheap but also break fast - Does the job as a hub, breaks after about a little over 1 year, tho, just won't be able to reconnect, but considering how cheap the device is, I will just buy a new one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Flawless Setup on Deco Mesh via Android 15 (Feb 2025), 100+ft of Range
*by J***W on February 14, 2025*

I have three Deco X55s running a dual-band mesh, so to install this Aqara Hub I told the Deco app to put my phone onto the 2.4GHz during setup since this inexpensive hub does not have a 5GHz radio (and why would it need one... it would just increase cost and reduce range). Then I downloaded the Aqara app and paired as normal. Once the Aqara Hub was connected to my WiFi, I used the Deco app to set the hub's connection preference to 2.4GHz, on the closest Deco satellite, and disable "mesh technology" since other reviews said it wouldn't work with a mesh (and the hub won't be moving around anyway). It has only been a couple of days, but the hub has worked flawlessly with Aqara's "wireless mini switch" (a little wireless button) tested outdoors up to 100' from the hub. I bought the Aqara Hub and button to control a group of Ring "smart lights" in our back yard since Ring requires you to use a slow, buggy app to turn on lights, or it relies on motion detectors which don't always see our dog. I was reluctant to add yet another hub to our home just to fill the gap in Ring's functionality, but aside from turning the lights on, being able to turn them off means saving batteries and reducing recharge time. By installing the Alexa App, then the Aqara Home "skill" and setting a "routine", I can now turn on the Ring smart light group in my back yard with a real life physical button at the door instead of "get phone->unlock screen->nav to app shortcut->enter lighting screen->wait for lights to load->turn on lights". Voice commands would probably have worked work from the Alexa app, but I refuse to live in a world where I run around yelling at apps and hubs while people try to work, sleep, and listen to music/tv/games/conversations. This is one of the least expensive hubs we have (especially compared to Ring and Hue, though the X-Sense and Diivoo hubs we have came in kits and could be considered less expensive), plus it's very small and does not need a mount as long as you have an extra USB adapter. It solved my problem, set up quickly, installed even faster, has great range, and was (relatively) inexpensive. I'm sure their other hubs have more features, but I don't need them and I'm glad Aqara has this base model smart hub!
