Before you buy
What do you need to make it work?
Matter controller
Thread border router (HomePod mini, the 2021 Apple TV 4K or the Wi-Fi + Ethernet 2022 model, Nest Hub 2nd gen, newer Echo devices, SmartThings hubs with Thread, or an Aqara Hub M3) plus a Matter controller in your ecosystem. No Aqara hub required — but adding an Aqara Hub M3 unlocks custom detection timeout, sensitivity tuning, and local alerts via Aqara Home.[2]
Follow the documented setup. Read the equipment details and connection limits below.

Plans and ongoing costs[16][22]
✓ Works without a subscription: Yes.
Vendor account required: Not established — we have not sourced this yet.
Maintenance and offline use
- Batteries: CR2450 x2 — manufacturer-stated 24 months per set
- Works without the internet: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network. A vendor cloud may still be involved in remote access.[7][22]
- Batteries included; Aqara rates life at up to 2 years. Matter-over-Thread automations run locally through the controller.
- Security updates: Aqara declares security updates for this model until December 31, 2026 (UK-declared — the maker's legal commitment is filed for the United Kingdom). After that date the product keeps working; the manufacturer simply has no stated obligation to keep issuing security fixes.[8][53]
Who it's for
Suits households that already run a Thread border router (HomePod, the 2021 Apple TV 4K or the Wi-Fi + Ethernet 2022 model, Nest Hub, newer Echo, or SmartThings hub) and want a battery-powered, locally controlled motion-plus-illuminance trigger without an Aqara hub.
