For some weeks now we have been waiting for the new HomeKit products from Aqara, a private label of Xiaomi. Now things are getting moving.

As Cashys blog reports, the Aqara HomeKit hub will go on sale in October at Amazon Germany. We don't know the exact date or price yet. We are assuming around 45 euros, which would correspond to the current price in dollars at GearBest.

The Aqara devices are all very cheap and allow an extension of your HomeKit smart home system at a small price. It also expands your options. The Aqara Hub allows you to integrate ZigBee devices into your HomeKit network. Similar things are already being done by homee, only currently in beta stage. So you have more possibilities to replace the usually quite expensive HomeKit devices with cheaper non-HomeKit alternatives. As soon as the new hub from Aqara, which is also equipped with a night light and simply plugged into a power socket, is officially on the market in this country, we will take a closer look at this part for you.
