Smart Sensors Give Your Smart Home Superpowers
Smart-home sensors are incredibly powerful detection and data-collection devices that can make a home more comfortable, efficient and safe. This special monitoring equipment communicates environmental data to a hub designed to distribute alert notices or trigger automated systems. Each intelligent sensor is a tiny powerhouse that assists a property owner with maintaining various areas within and outside a home.
With these sensors, a homeowner can better control indoor temperature, air quality, daytime and night-time lighting, electrical usage and irrigation systems. They can also better detect smoke, gas and water leaks, attempted burglaries and other emergencies before an event becomes too unmanageable.
The sensors and associated systems can send remote alerts to the phone of the owner, property manager or security firm. Remote phone apps even give the alert recipient options for taking preventative and protective measures. They might remotely turn off an appliance that can cause a fire, lock an unlocked window or contact police and emergency services.
Aqara Sensors Provide Convenient Cutting-Edge Solutions
Aqara sensors give a property owner and other approved parties access to valuable tools that seamlessly and unobtrusively monitor a home and communicate to people and automated smart-connected systems via an app or voice-controlled smart device. These high-quality, long-lasting sensing solutions follow simple “If…then…” automation commands. If a Wi-Fi disruption occurs, they continue to provide service as long as the hub has power.
Aqara’s range of sensors offer compatibility with the popular Zigbee protocol, and going forward Aqara is introducing support for the Matter protocol also.
What types of detection are possible with Aqara sensors?
Temperature and Humidity Sensors
Temperature and humidity sensors can prevent overly dry and hot indoor conditions by helping a property owner better manage HVAC, humidification and dehumidification systems. They can help prevent the dangerous growth of mold and microorganisms and reveal atmospheric pressure changes that are causing a headache or other painful or disruptive health symptoms. An attached system can automatically adjust temperature and humidity to match preset personal preferences based on the data acquired by the sensors.
Air Quality, Gas, and Smoke Sensors
TVOC air quality monitors and related systems detect allergens, volatile organic chemicals, toxins, natural gas, propane, carbon monoxide, smoke and other pollutants that adversely impact respiration and immune system health. After detection, a connected system might automatically turn on an air purification device, vent air out of a room or issue a phone alert. Depending on the air-quality problem, early detection can prevent sick building syndrome, escalation of a small fire and even nighttime inhalation of gases that can quietly cause severe injury and even death. Find out why the Aqara TVOC Air Quality Monitor is the best in most situations.
Motion, Presence, and Vibration Sensors
Many people incorrectly believe that only one type of sensor provides movement detection. A motion sensor supplies schedule and security assistance through the detection, or lack of detection, of movement, such as outdoor motion that triggers floodlights. A presence sensor detects the number of moving and non-moving people in a room. It can even sense a fall. A vibration sensor detects drops, tilts, and vibrations. It might provide an early earthquake alert, detect an uneven washer load or prevent attempted property theft.
Door and Window Sensors
Door and window sensors reduce energy bills and prevent crimes by sensing the status of every nearby door and window. If someone forgets to shut a window completely, they receive a reminder and can resolve the problem. With a complete smart-home system, these access-point sensors can prompt the system to turn off cooling or heating equipment. If the sensor detects a door or window opening when no one is at home, the system might sound a loud alarm, send a phone notification or issue an alert to the police. We've written more about the best smart door and window sensors.
Moisture and Water Leak Sensors
Water leak sensors sense a sudden increase in moisture. They help prevent shocking leaks and flooding events. The property owner can receive an alert from any sensor near a spot attached to the water system, such as a hot water tank, washing machine, dishwasher, toilet, shower or sink. They can detect a tiny droplet. If the home has smart water valves, the smart-home system can shut off water to an area to prevent damage.
