Aqara Installation in London: Smart Locks, Switches, Doorbells and Hubs

• Smart locks: the Smart Lock U600 on lift-to-lock multipoint doors, the U200 and U200 Lite fitted inside over your existing cylinder, and the Smart Rim Lock U500 where a timber door suits it
• Doorbells and cameras: the Doorbell Camera Hub G410, the Doorbell Camera G400, the older Video Doorbell G4, the Camera Hub G5 Pro and Camera G100 outdoors, and the G3, G350 and E1 indoors
• Hubs and set-up: the Hub M3, M200 and M100, older Zigbee hubs, and links to Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa or Home Assistant
• Switches and relays: the Light Switch H2 EU, Dimmer Switch H2 EU and Smart Wall Switch H1 EU in place of light switches, and the Dual Relay Module T2
• Curtains and blinds: the Curtain Driver E1 on poles and tracks, the Roller Shade Driver E1 on bead-chain blinds, and Aqara's 230 V tubular blind motors on a fused spur
• Heating and water: Radiator Thermostat W600 heads on existing valves, the Floor Heating Thermostat W500 outside bathroom zones, and the Valve Controller T1 on water valves
• Sensors and alarms: the Presence Sensor FP2 and FP300, door, motion and leak sensors, and Aqara's battery Smoke Detector as an extra alarm

• Aqara sells here through its UK and EU web store, the Aqara UK Shop run by its UK supplier, and an Amazon UK storefront, and its where-to-buy page lists other UK shops
• Aqara Academy, its training and certification platform, and its installer programme are for trade partners, with no installer finder for homeowners
• The one consumer installation offer we found on Aqara's site is for its Thermostat Hub W200, covers the US mainland only, and the W200 is not sold here
• Aqara's pages leave the buyer to arrange fitting and only now and then say who should do it: its U200 guidance, for example, says a keypad transformer 'should be installed by a professional electrician'

• The Aqara UK Shop gives the Light Switch H2 EU an in-wall depth of 30 mm and the Dimmer Switch H2 34.6 mm, so a standard 25 mm British back box is too shallow and the pro fits a deeper box or a spacer
• The H2's 'UK exclusive version' adds a dark grey button but is still the EU switch, and Aqara publishes no screw spacing to match British boxes, so the pro checks the fixings on site
• Aqara's UK shop calls the no-neutral H1 'perfect for traditional UK homes that usually do not have a neutral wire in the wall switch'; the H2 works with or without one
• The Hub M1S Gen 2 has an EU plug, shipped by the Aqara UK Shop with an adapter, and EU-plug smart plugs such as the Power Plug H2 EU are not meant for UK sockets
• Aqara's region policy says devices are designed for the regions of their original sales market and may lose functions elsewhere, so pros fit UK and EU-market stock, not grey imports

• The U600 works only where lifting the handle throws the deadbolt, and its manual says it is not compatible if the latch does not fully retract when the handle is pressed right down
• Fitting a U600 removes your cylinder, and Aqara tells buyers to check with their insurer first; the U200 and U200 Lite keep the key-operated cylinder you have
• Aqara lists no TS 007, BS 3621, Sold Secure or Kitemark approval for its locks, and Sold Secure's smart-lock category included no Aqara lock on 1 November 2026
• A flat's entrance door onto a shared corridor is normally an FD30S fire door, and GOV.UK guidance says changes to it should be made with the Responsible Person's knowledge and agreement
• In a rented home the landlord's agreement comes first, because a lock change alters their property

• No fixed wiring: battery locks and sensors, plug-in hubs and cameras, the Power Plug H2 UK, battery curtain drivers and radiator thermostat heads
• Extra-low voltage, not notifiable: a doorbell on its existing transformer or a 12 V plug-in supply, the U200 keypad on 12–24 V, and PoE cable to a camera or hub
• Not notifiable, though it is mains work on an existing circuit, fitted by JACK pros who do electrical work: an H1 or H2 switch, a T2 relay behind a switch, a fused spur for a 230 V blind motor, and a W500 replacing an underfloor-heating thermostat outside bathroom zones
• Notifiable, and not booked through JACK: a new circuit, such as a relay or transformer given its own new way in the consumer unit, a consumer unit replacement, and any addition or alteration inside a bathroom's zones
• JACK's own limits, stricter than the law: no relay or other new device fitted inside the consumer unit, no fixed electrical work inside bathroom zones, any wiring at a boiler left to a Gas Safe registered engineer, and the Valve Controller T1 on water valves only, never gas

• Zigbee devices, including most older Aqara sensors and switches, talk only to an Aqara hub; Aqara's Amazon UK listings say third-party Zigbee dongles are not officially supported
• Thread devices, including the U200 and U600 locks, join Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa or Home Assistant through Matter, and Aqara's remote features need a Thread-capable Aqara hub, not the Zigbee-only E1, M2 or M1S
• The Presence Sensor FP2 needs no Aqara hub, and the G410 doorbell is a Zigbee hub and Matter controller itself
• Aqara asks for the Hub M3 to sit within 6 m of the router, so in a long terrace the pro may wire it by PoE

• The Hub M3, Smart Lock U200, Doorbell Camera Hub G410, Light Switch H2 EU and most other UK models with a statement were covered to 31 December 2026
• The Doorbell Camera G400 Wired runs to 31 December 2029, the Smart Rim Lock U500 to 31 December 2028, and the U200 Lite's latest statement to 31 December 2027, after Aqara had extended it once
• No UK statement for the new Smart Lock U600 was listed yet, which does not mean it fails to comply
• Aqara marks the Video Doorbell G4, Hub E1, Radiator Thermostat E1 and two 230 V roller-blind motors as end of life, though the Aqara UK Shop still sells them
• GOV.UK's product safety alerts and recalls showed no results for 'aqara' on the same day

A vetted pro prices your Aqara job from the models and your photos, and the JACK app shows that fixed price before you book.

What the job touches moves the price more than the device does. Pairing a hub, fixing sensors, clipping a Curtain Driver E1 onto a rail or fitting radiator thermostat heads is set-up work. A smart lock is locksmith work on the door. An H1 or H2 switch, a Dual Relay Module T2 or a 230 V blind motor is mains work on an existing circuit, priced for isolating, connecting and testing.

The home comes next: a multipoint door that needs adjusting before a lock goes on, a bell transformer too weak for the doorbell, a PoE cable through solid brick. Where a job needs a second pair of hands, your pro can ask another pro on JACK to help through the Pro2Pro feature. Several devices, Aqara or other brands, go on one booking for one fixed price.

You buy the Aqara products; JACK does not sell them. Accessories the job needs, such as a replacement cylinder, a deeper back box, a 12 V plug-in supply or a PoE injector, are agreed and added at cost before you book, and so is parking where it has to be paid for. Prefer to pay for time? As a guide, hourly hire is typically £45–£95 per hour for smart home work, £55–£110 for electrical work and £60–£130 for locksmith work, and a full-day handyman booking is a flat £350–£400 for up to 8 hours on site.
