Cube T1 Pro, 6 Sides to Control Different Scenes | Requires Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub, Diverse Actions to Control Smart Home Devices, Supports Homekit, Alexa and IFTTT

Interesting input device that works well for smart applications. Every way for the cube to be moved or places can be used as a trigger. Simple to add to a hub and adaptable for Smart Control. Well made, you might add coloured stickers for a change

I think the biggest improvement over the previous version is addition of the dice-like dots printed on each face of the cube. You could never be sure which face was where before. It's a shame that you must choose between Automation mode and Scene mode which limits functionality a bit but if you already have an Aqara hub this is cheap enough to justify trying it.

Great device, connects to Home Assistant compatible. Slight hiccups getting it sorted originally, but usual steps of repairing and such resolved these. Mostly got it as a gimmick for a family member who likes this stuff, but found they're really into pushing it to its limits Got a whole range of functions assigned already.

I bought this as a small wireless cube controller for a few simple smart home scenes in the living room, mainly to turn lamps on, switch to a softer evening setup, and trigger a movie scene without reaching for my phone. Once paired with the required Aqara hub, it did work, and I liked the novelty of being able to flip or rotate a cube to make things happen. The hardware itself feels solid and nicely made, and it looks tidy on a side table rather than like a cheap gadget. Where it became a bit less impressive was in daily use. Some actions registered well, but others felt a little hit and miss, especially when I was trying to do them quickly. The bigger issue for me was remembering which side did what and which motion triggered which scene. It sounds fun at first, but after a week I found myself second guessing whether turning it, knocking it, or flipping it was the one I had assigned. For very simple setups it is fine, but once you start getting ambitious it stops feeling convenient. Overall I think it is an interesting smart home accessory with decent build quality, but it makes more sense as a fun extra than a genuinely essential controller.

Even when this does work, not very often, it's slow as hell. It's certainly not precise enough to use for anything decent. The aqara app is just as bad. It's supposed to have two different modes, but trying to get the cube to swap modes is a complete nightmare. Neither of the modes work well enough to be worth thr hassle. Do yourself a favour and use NFC tags instead. It's cheapet, they work perfectly, and you don't need to worry about the batteries running out :)

When I looked at the device I thought what a great idea. The reality is that it's a bit flakey and not really that useful. Too complicated to use unless you programmed the device. It would have been nice if they had included some stickers to customise the cube so other people knew the function. Used with Home Assistant Z2M and a blueprint.

Took a few goes to pair it fully. X5 presses on the reset moves it to action setting. Info on the web. So far I have 6 different lighting scenes, tap to turn on fan, shake to open curtains. It’s novel and is totally in the spirit of home automation and fun!

It only works on very hard surfaces and even then it's jñhit and miss. You have to keep retrying the cube side to get it to work. The rotate feature is also ropey. Sometimes it works then it doesn't. It also only works on some surfaces. It won't work in your hand.

Hue Dimmer Switch gibi birkaç farklı kumanda kullandım ve en eğlencelisi, en işlevsel olanı bu. Aqara uygulaması ve Aqara Hub M1S ile kullanıyorum. Cihazı elimde tuttuğumda Aqara Camera E1 gizlilik moduna girmesi için otomasyon kurdum. Aynı zamanda sağa sola döndürme otomasyonu kurup Aqara Roller Shade’e bağlı perdemi açıp kapatıyorum. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 numaralı yüzlerini de HomeKit üzerinden ışıkları ve sahneleri ayarlaması için kullanıyorum. Aşırı bariz bir gecikme hissetmedim.

prodotto interessante, per il quale occorre un po di conoscenza del settore, lampadine o interruttori smart. Per utilizzarlo occorre una hub ZigBee (non funziona con wifi altrimenti la batteria durerebbe una settimana) o un hub domestico. Io l'ho utilizzato con home assistent e integrazione ZHA. (dopo un cambio di protocollo premendo 5 volte il tasto di reset). si possono associare eventi di accensione e spengimento a per ogni tipo si movimento del cubo (spingi, sposta, scuoti, ruota, posizioni numeriche da 1 a 6. Buon divertimento.

📝 J’ai acheté le Aqara Cube T1 Pro par curiosité, et c’est clairement un de mes objets domotiques les plus ludiques et efficaces. La connexion avec Zigbee2MQTT s’est faite sans problème (via un hub Zigbee compatible), et une fois associé à un blueprint, la configuration devient très simple, même pour des scénarios un peu avancés. Ce cube est hyper intuitif à l’usage : chaque face peut être associée à une action différente, et les gestes (tourner, secouer, incliner, retourner) sont bien reconnus. Résultat : on peut contrôler une pièce entière sans sortir son téléphone — lumières, chauffage, musique, scènes… tout y passe. ✅ Avantages 🎛️ 6 faces configurables pour piloter plusieurs scènes 🔄 Gestes bien reconnus (rotation, bascule, secousse…) 🧩 Intégration fluide avec Zigbee2MQTT et Home Assistant ⚙️ Configuration simplifiée grâce aux blueprints 🎩 Effet “magicien” garanti auprès des enfants 🏠 Parfait pour gérer une pièce complète de façon naturelle ✨ Objet original, discret et bien fini ❌ À savoir 🏠 Nécessite un hub Zigbee 3.0 Aqara ou une passerelle compatible 🧠 Demande un petit temps de configuration pour exploiter tout son potentiel 🧾 En résumé, le Aqara Cube T1 Pro est un excellent contrôleur de scènes : ludique, fiable et étonnamment pratique au quotidien. Une fois configuré, il devient vite indispensable — et transforme la domotique en vrai jeu d’enfant.

Aprovechando los primedays, pille este Aqara cubo T1 para probarlo, había visto muchas opiniones tanto buenas como malas, por lo que decidí darle una oportunidad, lo uso con mqtt y home assistant, y la verdad que muy bien, eso sí, si no te quieres complicar con la configuración bájate el blueprint de SirGoodenough. Tienes opciones de configuración por cada lado, por ejemplo en el lado uno enciende la luz y ajustas el brillo de una habitación, puedes agitarlo para hacer otra acción, muchas posibilidades para la domótica de tu hogar jugando con cada lado y las acciones.
