Description
Aqara Dimmer Switch H2 EU – Smart rotary switch, Zigbee and Thread compatible
Aqara Dimmer Switch H2 EU is a multifunctional smart switch with a rotary knob, designed for broad compatibility and maximum comfort. It supports both Zigbee and Matter over Thread, for seamless integration with third-party ecosystems. It works with or without a neutral wire and is compatible with a variety of light sources: incandescent, halogen, dimmable LEDs and CFLs. It lets you change the dimming mode according to the type of load, for stable and efficient operation.
Note: In Zigbee mode, this product requires a compatible Zigbee hub/bridge (e.g. Aqara Hub / Aqara Hub E1 / Aqara Hub M2 / Aqara Hub M3) to be connected to the network and for Aqara-exclusive functions. In Thread mode it connects directly to Matter ecosystems (Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa), without an Aqara hub, via the ecosystem's Matter controller. It does not work independently over WiFi.
