Ladies and gentlemen, gather ’round for some juicy smart home news! Aqara’s spiffy S1 Plus smart home hub has just leveled up with built-in Siri support. That’s right—no more yelling “Hey Siri” from across the room while your phone ignores you like a pet cat.
This seven-inch touchscreen marvel promises to bring the sparkle of Apple’s virtual assistant right into your home, even if your phone or HomePod are running late on the tech train—or on snooze.
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: Siri may be trying to catch up with the likes of Alexa, but until now, it’s been more like the underdog in a rom-com—adorable but a little overlooked. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more exciting, let’s pour one out for those in the US, who sadly still can’t get their hands on this hub just yet.
So, what does this mean for smart home enthusiasts? A bit more Siri sass and maybe a whole lot less frustration when trying to control your gadgets without relying on your ever-busy mobile device. But will it hold a candle to Alexa’s longstanding reign? Only time, and some very excited thumbs, will tell!
Now, tell me—what smart home device would you want Siri to take control of first? At least that way, it might finally have a part-time job justifying its existence.
