I recently switched from a Ring Pro 2 to the Aqara G4. I was pleased to see the G4 integrates with SmartThings and even more pleased to see it uses a unique Device Profile and Presentation ID that enables you to add a door lock to the UI. This allows any lock you have integrated with SmartThings to be added to the doorbell’s device page. Thought that was pretty cool.
That looks good, thanks for sharing. When you mean integrates, do you mean being able to be natively added to an ST hub, or some other cloud-to-cloud integration?
I think its any lock, but all of mine are hub integrated. 2 switchbot locks over matter bridge, 1 yale lock over matter over thread and 1 aqara lock over matter bridge.
edit: sorry, think I misunderstood. The Aqara G4 doorbell is a cloud-to-cloud integration with SmartThings. Its under the Aqara brand in the ST app.
hmmm, no. I have my Aqara hub integrated via Matter to multiple Matter controllers and none of them show any attributes of the G4 doorbell via Matter bridge.
Unfortunately with a lot of smart home devices you need to do a lot of reading between the lines. Nowhere does it state you can do automations in HomeKit, or any other connected ecosystem, based on faces. Only in the Aqara app itself can you do automations based on facial recognition.
