AQARA TOUCHSCREEN DIAL V1 EU (DESKTOP STAND VERSION)

Touchscreen Dial V1 EU White — smart home controller in desktop stand version

Aqara Touchscreen Dial V1 EU is an advanced Aqara controller that combines a precision dial with a touchscreen and environmental sensors in an elegant housing with a desktop stand. The device allows you to manage up to 18 smart home scenes or devices in a single interface, and thanks to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Zigbee connectivity it does not require an additional Aqara hub to run the basic functions of a smart home.

This controller was designed for smart home users who want instant access to the most important devices without opening an app on their phone. The touch display rotates together with the dial, responding to rotation, swiping and haptic clicking, while the proximity sensor automatically wakes the screen when you approach the panel.

Control with the dial and touchscreen — smart home operation at your fingertips

The central control element is a rotary dial with haptic feedback. Adjustable vibrations confirm every turn and click, making operation precise even at dusk or in the dark. The touchscreen responds to swiping and touch, allowing you to quickly scroll through the list of devices or scenes. You can control the brightness and colour temperature of the light, air conditioning, heating, and the opening level of blinds, curtains and shutters.

As a result, one smart home controller handles the full range of Aqara devices and devices compatible with Matter, without the need to switch apps. The haptic dial also lets you adjust multiroom audio volume and scroll through your favourite devices in one smooth motion — ergonomics that every smart home user will appreciate.

Smart home control centre — up to 18 devices and scenes

The desktop stand version acts as a central control hub. You can save up to 18 shortcuts, each corresponding to a specific device or scene, such as “Good night”, “Home cinema”, “Leaving home” or “Turn everything off”. One touch is enough to launch a scenario involving multiple devices at once.

The controller supports configuration in both Aqara Home and Apple Home, so it can be added to the Apple HomeKit ecosystem and then controlled from an Apple Watch or via Siri voice commands. Switching between favourite scenes is done with a single turn of the dial, which significantly speeds up everyday smart home operation.

Presence-based automations and built-in environmental sensors

The proximity sensor in the smart home controller detects an approaching person and automatically wakes the screen, reducing energy consumption and limiting light pollution in the bedroom. This function can also act as an automation trigger — for example, turning on the hallway light when motion is detected near the controller.

Inside the housing there is a temperature and humidity sensor that monitors room conditions in real time. Readings are sent to Aqara Home and can trigger automations, e.g. switching on a fan when the temperature exceeds 26°C or a humidifier when humidity drops below 40%. This means the controller combines the functions of a controller and a microclimate measuring station.

Wi-Fi 2.4/5 GHz, Bluetooth and Zigbee connectivity without an additional hub

The controller supports dual-band Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, allowing it to connect to your home network without an additional hub. The built-in Zigbee 3.0 module communicates with Aqara sensors, switches and light sources, while Bluetooth makes it easy to pair mobile devices quickly. 5 GHz connectivity ensures stable operation even in a crowded band.

The desktop stand version works independently — all you need is USB-C power and access to your home network. In more advanced installations, the controller can also be used together with the Aqara M3 or M100 hub to extend Zigbee coverage beyond a single room.

Wide ecosystem compatibility and easy setup

The controller works with the most popular smart home ecosystems, including Aqara Home, Apple Home, Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Thanks to support for the Matter standard, the controller can also be added to more advanced Home Assistant-based setups. The device is compatible with Apple HomeKit and Matter at the same time, which makes integration into existing installations easier.

Setup is straightforward — simply scan the QR code on the housing or screen and the device will appear in the Aqara Home app, and then in Apple Home. The Touchscreen Dial V1 EU White in the desktop stand version is ready to use within minutes of unboxing.

Aesthetics, ergonomics and user comfort — what makes the desktop stand design stand out?

The housing is made of CNC-machined aluminium and AG glass with an anti-reflective coating, ensuring durability and an aesthetic that suits a modern interior. The white colour version with a desktop stand blends into a desk, coffee table or kitchen worktop, while the compact dimensions allow the controller to be placed within easy reach. Precise workmanship and elegant design make the Touchscreen Dial V1 EU White suitable for both minimalist and classic interiors.

Haptic vibrations of the dial and sound signals make every setting change clearly perceptible. The Touchscreen Dial V1 EU White controller combines control precision, aesthetics and user comfort in one smart home panel with a desktop stand — without the need to recess the device into the wall.

Functionality of the Aqara Touchscreen Dial V1 — what sensors does the controller offer?

The Touchscreen Dial V1 EU White offers two built-in environmental sensors that monitor room conditions in real time. The first is a temperature and humidity sensor — a precise sensor that sends readings to Aqara Home, enabling comfort parameter adjustments and automations to be triggered when temperature or humidity exceed set thresholds.

The second is a presence sensor, which acts as a trigger for automations based on the user’s activation near the controller. In practice, this means that screen activation can be used in Aqara Home scenarios, e.g. automatically waking the screen when entering a room or launching a “Welcome” scene when returning home.

Does the controller require an additional hub?

No. The device connects to the home network via dual-band Wi-Fi and has a built-in Zigbee and Bluetooth module, so basic scenarios work without an additional Aqara hub. The M3 or M100 hub extends Zigbee range in larger flats.

Can the desktop stand version be wall-mounted?

The desktop stand variant is designed to be placed on a desk, table or worktop. The manufacturer also offers a wall-mounted version of the controller, but the White Touchscreen Dial V1 EU in this edition comes with a desktop stand, not a wall mount.

Which light sources and switches does the controller work with?

The controller supports Aqara Zigbee 3.0 light sources and switches, and via Aqara Home or Apple Home it also controls devices compatible with Matter and HomeKit, including wall switches, dimmers, blinds and shutters.

Does the controller measure temperature and humidity?

Yes. The built-in temperature and humidity sensor sends readings to Aqara Home in real time and can trigger automations, such as switching on a humidifier or fan when set thresholds are exceeded.
