Review: Aqara's Hub E1 makes it even more affordable to get into HomeKitAqara's latest hub is perfect for those wanting to save space… and cash.
Whenever I speak to anyone about smart home tech, the reason they usually opted for an Alexa or Google Assistant-based system is price. Though most of the folks I know are happy to splurge on the best iPhone or iPad, the thing that puts them off the HomeKit ecosystem is usually the high cost of entry.
If you've been on the HomeKit train for a while, you'll know that it's true that the best HomeKit devices generally cost more, especially when you factor in the manufacturer-specific hubs that you need to pick up too.
That's what up-and-coming HomeKit accessory maker Aqara has set out to solve with its lineup of affordable devices — even more so with its latest hub for connecting them: the Aqara Hub E1. With a space-saving design and cash-saving price tag, it's possibly the best entry-point to HomeKit for many folks.
