Introducing the @Aqara H2 UK Smart Wall Outlet — a next-gen smart outlet with Matter, Thread, and Zigbee support. This model brings smart home control directly into your wall sockets, available in Single USB-C or Dual USB-C options. In this video, I walk through everything from unboxing to full installation, protocol switching, app menus, and Apple Home integration — including real-world tips that don’t appear on product pages.
