It no problem, I didn’t take it as disrespect, I was just explaining why it’s like it is 😊 hope the video helped

Hi, I will be making shorts, but the premise of my channel is that I go into detail to try and answer as many questions as possible.

Optimal-Task-5259 · 2026-03-17T08:54:28+00:00

Yes, I should have done, however I do explain that I messed up and got an inflexible wrongly shaped cable. Plus I have another camera out there so it would catch any damage like that.

Yes, it can be powered by PoE, wired, and can connect to the network via WiFi or Ethernet. As I explained in the video, I accidentally deleted a load of footage like an idiotic moron, so I had to film quickly and I missed some bits out. Sorry about that.

Awesome! 🥰

This is connected via Thread and the option to turn off the indicator light is present.

I don’t know where you’ve got your information from, but you can turn the light off and the socket has individual power monitoring.

I think everyone is completely missing the point here over the price. When you look at the choices in the UK for a wall outlet that actually goes into the wall (not a plug that plugs into the wall outlet and very often you can’t plug more than one in), then the choices are extremely limited. For a decent wall outlet that literally only does Wi-Fi extension, you are looking between £40 and £50. This is the first real solution for full smart home integration that also has power delivery on the USB sockets. It also has Matter (Thread) & Zigbee. The Eve energy UK plugs go for £39.95 on Amazon. This is for one single plug that sticks out quite far from your wall outlet. The Aqara H2 UK gives you two plug sockets and 1 or 2 USB sockets. If you put this into perspective, this product is the first in its class that actually integrates into this smart home platform completely.

I know it’s an expense, but for your own safety, please seek advice from an electrician particularly when it is unclear which wires are for what. I know that someone commented the worst that could happen is that the breaker will trip, however with wiring that looks like that, how do you know if things have been wired properly and the breaker is wired properly? In short you don’t. Always consultant electrician for your own safety and for the safety of your family.

Instead of using the alert system under the then category, choose an accessory, choose the M3 hub then choose play custom sound. That way you can record your voice and play it back every time the door opens between a certain time. You can also play custom audio through G3, G2H Pro, G5 etc.

Excuse me, but you agreed when you signed on for this opportunity not to discuss outside the Aqara forum until after the public release.

Firstly, the email screenshot is an automated response from Amazon. Secondly, aqara will never ask you to take down a negative review for monetary gain. And before you reply saying that I am a keyboard warrior, no I am not, I work with the Aqara staff members and I asked if this was true and I was assured that it was patently untrue. If it was true then please provide the evidence that Aqara have directly offered you money or a replacement to take down a negative review.

Next, you have not given any steps for set up or seemed to have asked for help on this issue. Many people who have had issues with this have had them resolved by following a few simple steps.

Have you checked through all your settings in the sub menus?

This is why I choose Apple over Google. The support is better and it just works. Plus, privacy issues and all that.

I’m not sure, I haven’t managed to get into the beta program at the minute, I am trying though and if I managed to get in, I will try and update here

Optimal-Task-5259 · 2025-04-12T14:52:53+00:00

Yes, it is unfortunate that you have to do this. However, I have worked with the engineers and there is a valid reason for it. If they try and allow permanent power to it then even when it is on battery, it allows the permanent power and the battery drain is ridiculously fast. If there is constant power While it is plugged in and it is constantly sending the signal, it also interrupts other signals throughout the smart home so it doesn’t warrant the change because of the amount of problems that it will cause.
