Aqara's new T1 Pro cube changes everything, but not in the way you think.
This video is sponsored by Aqara, all opinions are my own.
With the ability to control Smart Home routines using Amazon's Alexa platform the Aqara T1 Pro cube is now the most versatile Smart Home gadget in the world because it can now not only control virtually ANY smart home device, but can also trigger Alexa to carry out any of the usual tasks you would normally perform with your voice.
This smart home device also triggers Apple Homekit devices too, so if you're a fan of Homekit then this is a game changer!
THREE POINTS OF CLARIFICATION BEFORE YOU BUY THIS DEVICE
1. The OLD Cube can NOT start Alexa routines. The NEW cube CAN Start Alexa routines, but only when in Scene mode. Don't buy the old cube!!
2. The new cube can only trigger Alexa routines by flipping it to a particular side. Pushing the cube and shaking the cube can only start Aqara routines within the Aqara Ecosystem.
3. You NEED an Aqara Hub, this is a Zigbee device, but Alexa won't recognise it directly even if you have a Zigbee enabled Amazon Echo.
