Aqara Magic Knob V1 Launched!
Have you ever envisioned the following scenario? The moment you step through your front door, a simple command or gesture is all it takes to open the curtains automatically, adjust the lighting to your preferred comfort level, and turn on everyday appliances like the air conditioner or air purifier. As we transition to an era where everything is interconnected, these smart, technology-driven scenes have been made possible through the advancements in IoT and artificial intelligence technologies.
On June 17, Aqara, a leader in the whole-home smart technology field, launched its new product, the Aqara Magic Knob V1. As the premier smart scene knob in Aqara’s lineup, the Aqara Magic Knob V1 features AAC’s comprehensive haptic solution. This innovative device not only achieves an integrated ID and haptic design that adapts to various scenarios with just one knob, but it also vividly recreates the haptics of traditional mechanical knobs, providing users with an intuitive and familiar operating experience while they enjoy the conveniences of a smart lifestyle.
AAC’s Comprehensive Haptic Solution Empowers the Aqara Magic Knob V1 to Explore New Dimensions of Experience
In this collaboration, the RichTap® team from AAC Technologies provides the ultra-wide X-axis actuator ESA1016, proprietary actuator driver chip RT6010, and the RichTap® software algorithms, along with customized tuning services. This partnership delivers an intelligent home experience that beautifully merges a sense of technology with aesthetics.
Turn Complexity into Simplicity, Showcasing Intelligence and Aesthetics
The Aqara Magic Knob V1, equipped with AAC’s comprehensive haptic solution, masterfully integrates technology and art. The leading-edge haptic technology enhances the emotional bond between individuals and their homes while embodying the universal aesthetics promoted by Aqara in its design.
In traditional home control systems, users often encounter limitations due to mechanical knobs that offer limited functions and fixed adjustment scales, complicating the control of multiple home products. Thanks to AAC’s solution, the Aqara Magic Knob V1 not only has an optimized internal structure but also efficiently achieves a unified industrial design, streamlining home control functionalities.
Moreover, the knob can provide distinct and orderly vibrational rhythms according to different home control functions, enabling users to precisely distinguish the active function and scenario being adjusted.
Turn the Knob, Transform the Space
The Aqara Magic Knob V1 can intelligently connect with various home devices, simplifying and streamlining everyday living. Enhanced by AAC’s comprehensive haptic solution, the knob combines high-quality touch experiences with smart operations across multiple scenarios. It not only adds a sense of ritual to mundane activities such as turning on lights and adjusting temperatures but also enables users to communicate naturally with their homes through authentic vibrational feedback. With a gentle twist of the Aqara Magic Knob V1, the high-quality vibration effects are immediately conveyed to the fingertips, transforming indoor scenes at will.
Light Adjustment
The Aqara Magic Knob V1 allows for the manipulation of multiple lights or lighting groups. As the knob is turned, the color temperature and brightness of the lights adjust accordingly, while users simultaneously experience precise vibrational feedback. This accurate and immediate vibrational feedback offers users an intuitive and layered sense of control, as if light and shadow were flowing right at their fingertips.
Temperature Control
When users wish to adjust the air conditioner temperature by turning the knob, the Aqara Magic Knob V1 provides crisp vibrational feedback that clearly reflects the temperature adjustment. This allows users to perceive changes in the air conditioning settings in real time.
Curtain Control
Whether desiring the curtains to be fully opened to welcome the sunlight, or adjusted slightly to maintain soft indoor lighting, the precise and authentic high-quality haptic feedback provided by the Aqara Magic Knob V1 allows users to feel the motions of the curtains through their fingertips. This interaction empowers users to control privacy and lighting intuitively and naturally.
Vibrational Feedback, the Crowning Touch of Smart Home
When you rotate the Aqara Magic Knob V1, you can immediately feel the high-quality vibrational feedback that mimics the sensation of a mechanical knob. Enhanced by virtual scales on the knob, you not only achieve precise control over the rotations but also experience a subtle sense of texture and heft, bringing a touch of luxury that’s addictive from the first turn!
To create this authentic mechanical vibration, the Aqara Magic Knob V1 is the first in the industry to incorporate the leading ultra-wide X-axis actuator from AAC Technologies, the ESA1016. This actuator boasts outstanding performance with its incredibly powerful haptic feedback, ultra-fast response, ultra-wide frequency range, and extremely low power consumption, achieving interaction that is nearly identical to that of a mechanical knob. Moreover, the incorporation of AAC’s proprietary actuator driver chip, RT6010, further unleashes the ideal performance of the ESA1016 ultra-wide X-axis actuator. It ensures the efficiency and stability of the vibrations, enabling users to distinctly perceive the subtle movement of each scale as the knob turns.
Authentic mechanical haptic feedback is achieved, but that’s not enough! In addition, RichTap® engineers provided software algorithms and customized tuning services for the Aqara Magic Knob V1, enabling the actuator to simulate the rotational sound of a mechanical knob. This ensures that every elegant rotation of the knob provides high-quality mechanical haptic and sound feedback, creating a precise, luxurious, and truly interactive experience for users.
