Precise and Intuitive Device Control

The rotary dial sits at the heart of the Aqara Touchscreen Dial V1, allowing you to fine-tune lighting brightness, adjust colour temperature, reposition curtains, or control air conditioning with a simple turn. It's a more tactile, satisfying way to manage your smart home automation devices compared to fumbling through app menus. Do note that rotary dial functionality is limited to the Aqara ecosystem and is not supported on third-party platforms.

A Display You'll Actually Enjoy Using

The touchscreen isn't just functional — it's designed to look good too. Choose from light or dark themes, display the current time, weather, or room temperature, and set stylish screensavers to suit your space. Display customisation is exclusive to the Aqara Home app, so you'll want to use that as your primary control interface to get the most from the screen.

Smart Automation Based on Your Environment

Thanks to the built-in temperature and humidity sensors, the Touchscreen Dial V1 can trigger meaningful home automation routines automatically. Set a "Sleep" scene that dims the lights, closes the shades, and adjusts the radiator temperature — or configure a rule to activate a humidifier when humidity drops below 40% and switch it off once it climbs above 65%. These are the kinds of practical, everyday automations that make smart home automation devices genuinely worthwhile.

Transform Your Home Automation Experience

The Aqara Touchscreen Dial V1 is a polished, well-thought-out controller that makes interacting with your home automation setup a genuine pleasure. If you're ready to upgrade how you manage your smart home, this is well worth a look.
