Conveniently building a smart home at a reasonable cost
Door locks, curtains, light switches, and video doorbells all at once
AIoT company Aqara Life (CEO Song Hee-kyung) has launched a 'Total Installation Service' for general consumers. This service expands the scope of installation to include not only the existing smart door locks and smart curtains, but also light switches and smart video doorbells.
As the Matter standard is established and major domestic home appliance companies focus on expanding the AIoT market, consumer interest in and demand for smart homes is surging. In response, Aqara Life introduced this total installation service to enhance customer convenience and accelerate the spread of AIoT. Through this, Aqara Life plans to provide customers with an even more convenient and reasonable installation experience. Since its founding in 2019, Aqara Life has introduced a variety of AIoT services and solutions to the domestic market, earning a positive response from users. In particular, the 'Smart Door Lock K100', released late last year, sold out entirely right after a collaboration with IT-focused YouTuber ITSub, and has recorded cumulative sales of 5,000 units to date—achieving significant success in Korea's relatively unfamiliar IoT door lock market. The smart light switch, which has established itself as a bestseller, has also recorded cumulative sales of 34,000 units, contributing to the expansion of smart homes.
Aqara Life has launched a total installation service that allows multiple AIoT devices to be installed at once. This lets customers avoid the inconvenience of having different installation technicians visit multiple times, as all installations can be completed in a single visit. In addition, since travel fees are not charged redundantly under this service, customers can enjoy greater cost savings the more devices they install at once.
Installation support is also beginning through this service launch for the 'smart light switch' and 'smart video doorbell', for which customer demand had been high but no installation option had been offered.
The launch of Aqara Life's total installation service is expected to have a positive impact on the spread of AIoT technology. Smart home technology makes our lives more convenient and efficient, but many consumers have hesitated to adopt it due to the inconvenience and cost burden of initial installation. However, the total installation service is expected to lower these barriers, helping consumers more easily adopt AIoT devices and promoting the growth of the AIoT market.
Oh Bo-myung, director of Aqara Life's CX division, said, "This service was designed to provide customers with greater convenience and to lower the barriers to adopting AIoT technology," adding, "Now customers can install a variety of AIoT devices at once at a low cost, and through this they will be able to build a smart home environment even more conveniently."
Aqara Life's AIoT total installation service is currently available at the official Aqara Life mall, and is scheduled to launch on Samsung.com this coming September as well. More detailed information can be found through the official Aqara Life website and customer center.
