Aqara’s S1 Plus smart home hub adds built-in Siri support.
Aqara’s seven-inch touchscreen Panel Hub S1 Plus has gotten a major update that adds built-in Siri support, so you can tap Apple’s virtual assistant, even when your phone or HomePod aren’t nearby. While built-in Siri isn’t new, it hasn’t enjoyed the same level of support as Alexa. For now, unfortunately, the S1 Plus isn’t available in the US, however. [Media: https://youtu.be/YixR45ckyQY]
