    Thank you so much to Aqara for sponsoring this video. Be sure to check them out. Which was your favourite HomeKit accessory from Aqara? I think I absolutely love the Curtain Driver!

    Love Aqara stuff! The G3 can actually have tuck the lens away up into itself for privacy, I like this method because then if you access it in HomeKit it’ll automatically bring them down again 😀

    Hi Chris, great video! How do you have the automation set to trun the camera away once your in the room? Can the E1 camera do this automation?
  • @EthanObi
    The fact Aqara insists on you using THEIR HUB, not supporting Matter over Thread instead of garbage like Zigbee is enough to make this entire video worthless to me, Sorry Chris.
