Aqara LED Ceiling Light T1M with Matter, Requires Zigbee 3.0 HUB, RGBIC with Gradient Effects and 16 Million Colors, 40W 3450lm, 2700-6500K Tunable White, Supports HomeKit, Alexa and IFTTT

The Aqara LED Ceiling Light T1M with Matter, RGB+IC, and 16 Million Colors offers some impressive features but also comes with several downsides, according to customer reviews. At first glance, the light is visually appealing and provides bright, evenly distributed white light, and the side light strip, which can display custom colors and effects, is a unique and attractive feature. However, the installation process is challenging, especially for US users, who have encountered difficulties with the wiring and mounting of the light. Additionally, while the light is advertised as having Matter support, customers have found that it does not play well with non-Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hubs and does not report to HomeKit correctly, even with the Aqara hub. On the positive side, the light works well with Apple HomeKit after a firmware update, and the ability to control the white light separately from the multicolored ring light is appreciated. However, configuring different colored effects has proven to be a tricky task for some users. It's worth noting that some customers have pointed out that the need for a Zigbee hub is clearly stated in the product description and are satisfied with its performance in their setups. In summary, the Aqara LED Ceiling Light T1M offers impressive lighting features and functionality, but its installation process and compatibility issues with non-Aqara hubs might be off-putting for some users.
