Smart home company Aqara has announced the Voice Mate H1 — a home automation voice control system activated by picking up a small puck rather than its microphone always listening for its wake word.

The company is also launching its first outdoor camera, the Camera Hub G5 Pro, which, like its other cameras, will work with Apple’s HomeKit Secure Video .

These products, along with a new garage door controller, smart valve shut-off device, and new smart switches, were announced at the IFA tech show this week .

Garage Door Controller T2 Kit is Aqara ’s first smart garage door opener and the first to support Matter .

It has wireless sensors and supports up to two garage doors.

The T2 works directly with Apple Home , Google Home , and other Matter-compatible platforms.

The Valve Controller T1 is an automatic shut-off valve that can work with water and gas pipes.
