Dear all Sifus, I am currently embarking on my first smart home planning for my new house.. and needed advise..

The initial plan was to go all out with Aqara as can work with Homekit as my family is on Apple ecosystem.

But as I am doing the sourcing and budgetting, I found tha the price of the switches are like 2x more expensive than Tuya switches...

I am currently looking to implement:

1. Full smart switches (including aircond and heater switches) for surface light, track light and fan.
2. Smartdoor lock (I am living in a dual key condo, as such I need 2 wooden door lock + 1 Grill)
3. CCTV for the front door and also living room
4. Motion detection for midnight light
5. Humidity and temperature sensor

I did a few research and ready about matter integration between Aqara , Tuya and Homekit... does it work? Say if I mix

1. Tuya switches + Aqara Switches
2. Aqara Hub
3. Aqara presense sensor
4. Tuya Smartdoor lock
5. Tuya curtain
6. Sensibo / IR hub for Aircond & Fan

Thanks in advanced.

If you’re going full homekit there’s the tuya homekit hub that expose all your tuya zigbee devices (cheaper) to homekit
So you’ll need aqara hub + tuya homekit at least for your setup

6. For me sensibo is overpriced, which ac brand do you have?

I am using panasonic the cheapest inverter :'(

What you meant is as long as I have an Aqara Hub + Tuya Matter Hub (eg: Zenismart), then I can control all Tuya devices via Aqara App and/or HomeKit? Is there any limitation ? As in the things that I want to do (ie: open door. switch on light if its after 730pm, if toilet humidity above x% then turn on exhaust)
