Aqara Hub M1S gen1

We need to have the Aqara Hub device in hand. If you have the China version,, you will also need an adapter to the Polish one Sockets. 

In Aqara Home app, we can choose a country that is from a given region. In this guide, I will focus solely on two regions - Europe (Poland) and China. It is these two regions that always arouse the greatest emotions when something works "there" and not "here" or when we want to buy equipment and we do not know what to really choose. I will try to help you.
