Aqara’s new DIY-ready smart water shutoff works in more smart homes with Matter


A cheap smart home solution to stop out-of-control leaks.

The Aqara hub lets this T1 integrate with any of the major smart home platforms, unlike some pricier options from companies like Moen, Kohler, and Belkin. Aqara says it’s “DIY-friendly as it requires no major modifications to existing plumbing” and has compatibility with half-inch, three-quarter-inch, and one-inch pipes. For automation, the company also makes a cheap leak sensor, or you can use a different one that works with your preferred smart home platform after support is added.
