Aqara unveils AI-driven Smart Lighting range and Builder community platform at IFA 2026

At IFA 2026 in Berlin, Aqara announced an expanded smart-lighting portfolio that covers both interior and exterior applications. The lineup features the Floor Lamp T1, LED Downlight T2, LED Strip T2, Outdoor String Lights H1 and Permanent Outdoor Lights H1, all compatible with Thread, Zigbee and Matter and interoperable with major ecosystems such as Apple Home, Home Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Homey.

Integrated with Aqara's sensor and hub ecosystem, each lamp can detect occupancy and trigger automated routines, eliminating the need for manual control. The company's booth showcased a fully furnished living-room where visitors could experience synchronized lighting scenarios that respond to movement, time of day and user-defined moods. In addition, Aqara unveiled Builder, a global community platform that lets smart-home creators exchange projects, receive AI-generated suggestions and collaborate on automation designs. The launch signals Aqara's push toward AI-enabled spatial intelligence for everyday environments.
