The Aqara G410 hub serves as both a 2K video doorbell and a central smart home controller. It combines a 175° wide-angle lens, local face recognition, and mmWave presence sensing into one streamlined device. Support for Zigbee, Thread, Bluetooth, and Matter means it plays well with a wide range of ecosystems, from Apple HomeKit and Google Home to Alexa and SmartThings. Recording options include local storage via microSD or NAS, with wired setups enabling continuous 24/7 capture.
A USB-C powered indoor chime functions as both a Matter controller and a Thread border router, enhancing its smart capabilities. While features like HDR and package detection are missing, the G410 stands out for its integration flexibility, ecosystem reach, and reliable performance, making it a strong choice for those seeking a powerful entry point into smart home automation.
