Forget Alexa, this smart home hub only listens to you when you're touching it
Briefly

The Voice Mate H1 is designed to enhance home security by responding only when held, ensuring it listens to commands only in intentional interactions.
With the ability to handle both simple commands like 'Close the curtains' and complex routines, it empowers users to customize their smart home experience dynamically.
Employing Aqara's custom Copilot AI, the device can troubleshoot and manage tasks, but lacks audio feedback, requiring interaction solely through the app.
The absence of a wake phrase and the device’s ability to sense when it's held could address privacy concerns often associated with smart home devices.
