Description
What does "open box" mean?
Open-box products are returned products with opened or damaged packaging, but fully checked from a technical point of view and completely functional. They come with the same warranty as new products.
Aqara Panel Hub S1 Plus EU (Desktop Version) brings intuitive control of your smart home right onto your desk or bedside table. Unlike the traditional versions designed for flush mounting in a wall box, the Desktop version comes with an integrated ergonomic stand and direct USB-C power, offering maximum placement flexibility with no changes needed to the electrical installation.
Equipped with a highly responsive capacitive touchscreen and a refined graphical interface, the panel works both as a visual command centre and as a dedicated Zigbee 3.0 hub. Thanks to support for the universal Matter standard, the device makes it easy to connect smart accessories and expose them to other major Smart Home platforms (such as Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa), while also offering an elegant widget showing the time, date and weather.
