Aqara has revealed an all-new smart lighting lineup at IFA 2026, alongside fresh updates on several previously announced products, including the FP400 Presence Multi-Sensor, G510 Camera Hub and U250 and U600 smart locks.
The new lighting range includes the Floor Lamp T1, LED Downlight T2, LED Strip T2, Outdoor String Lights H1 and Permanent Outdoor Lights H1. All five support both Thread and Zigbee connectivity and are Matter-enabled, bringing even more lighting options to Apple Home and Aqara’s wider smart home ecosystem.
The Floor Lamp T1 is a 1,420mm side-emitting lamp designed to wash walls with ambient light. It features 18 individually controllable lighting zones, a 2,000K–9,000K tunable white range and brightness of up to 1,000 lumens.
For built-in lighting, the LED Downlight T2 features a slim design aimed at installations with limited ceiling space. Aqara will offer RGB CCT and CCT versions, with the RGB model supporting 16 million colours and a 2,000K–9,000K colour-temperature range.
The LED Strip T2 features 108 LEDs per metre and 18 individually controllable zones across every three metres of strip. It can be trimmed for different installations and supports colour gradients, lighting effects and music synchronisation.
Aqara is also moving further outdoors with the Outdoor String Lights H1 and Permanent Outdoor Lights H1. Both offer individually controllable lighting sections and weather-resistant designs, while the Permanent Outdoor Lights are intended to remain installed throughout the year rather than being fitted and removed seasonally.
Other Aqara devices shown at IFA 2026
Aqara Camera Hub G510
Although annouced at IFA 2025, the G510 has still not arrived. Aqara updated me that it should arrive around end of Q4 2026. Aqara also said they was exploring support for 4K support for HomeKit Secure Video.
Aqara Presence Multi-Sensor FP400
Also on show at IFA 2026 is the Aqara Presence Multi-Sensor FP400 which was first announced at CES 2026. Tthe company’s latest presence sensor designed to bring more accurate and responsive automations to the smart home. Building on Aqara’s growing range of presence sensors, the FP400 can detect whether someone is actually in a room, allowing lights and other devices to remain active even when there is very little movement.
The good news is that we shouldn’t have long to wait. Aqara tells me the FP400 is arriving very soon, with availability expected during September. Keep on eye out for that review.
Aqara U250 smart lock
Aqara is upgrading its popular U200 with the new U250 Smart Lock. The big news for Apple Home users: it will support Apple Home and Apple Home Key, but no UWB. Letting you unlock your door with your iPhone or Apple Watch. Hopefully arriving in Q4. More details to come.
Aqara U600 smart lock for the UK
The Aqara U600 is coming to the UK, bringing Apple Home support and, importantly, Apple Home Key. Designed specifically for UK doors, the U600 is expected to start shipping around late September to mid-October. It will support Apple Home and Home Key.
