Full Aqara Smart Home for a Three-Storey 230 m² Townhouse in Da Nang

This three-storey townhouse in Da Nang covers approximately 230 m², uses close to 100 devices and has a contract value of 150 million VND. Aqara Da Nang handled the project from consultation and solution design through installation, configuration, testing and handover.

Instead of treating devices as isolated products, the system was organized by area and use case: security, smart locks, lighting, curtains, bathrooms, Wi-Fi, central control and automation.

A multi-storey townhouse needs a system that can manage the whole home while remaining easy for family members to use. The gate, main entrance, bedrooms, living room, bathrooms and outdoor areas each have different requirements for security, convenience and aesthetics.

• Manage security from the gate and main entrance to other important areas.
• Control devices through a central screen, Siri and gestures.
• Maintain stable Wi-Fi coverage between floors.
• Coordinate switches, sockets and devices with the interior.
• Control cost at positions that do not require smart devices.
• Keep installation neat and coordinate properly with doors, curtains, furniture and electrical/network infrastructure.

Security with Aqara doorbell and cameras

The gate uses an Aqara G400 PoE video doorbell. Seven Aqara G100 cameras are positioned inside and around the property to monitor important areas with broad coverage and the person-detection capability described in the source project.

Aqara G350 gesture control in the living room

In the living room, Aqara G350 was configured so supported gestures can trigger Smart Home scenes. In the source project, the Hi gesture turns on living-room lighting, OK triggers Movie mode and Five triggers the Leaving Home scene.

Smart locks selected for each position

Different smart-lock models were selected according to the door: Aqara U100 at the gate with fingerprint and PIN access, Aqara D200i Face ID at the main entrance, and Aqara A100 for bedrooms with fingerprint, PIN or other supported authentication methods according to the final configuration.

Aqara D1 Gold switches

The smart switches use Aqara D1 in Gold. The finish was selected to coordinate with the interior and the homeowners' aesthetic preference.

Aqara S1 Plus central control screen

Aqara S1 Plus acts as the central control point for the home. The homeowners can review devices, trigger scenes and use Siri voice control where supported by the configured ecosystem.

Curtains and bathroom automation

The living room uses motorized roller blinds while the master bedroom uses horizontal-opening curtains. In bathrooms, presence sensing is combined with lighting and bathroom-heating functions to improve convenience.

TP-Link Wi-Fi 6 and Simon devices

A TP-Link Wi-Fi 6 system was deployed to provide coverage, mesh behavior and roaming between floors. The source project also notes Internet-use time management for children.

At locations that did not require smart control, Simon switches and sockets were selected to reduce cost while retaining strong visual consistency with Aqara switch designs.

From drawings to final installation

With close to 100 devices, installation is more than mounting products on walls. Aqara Da Nang surveyed the site, reviewed drawings, positioned devices, prepared electrical/network infrastructure, coordinated with doors and interiors, then installed, configured, tested and handed over the system.

Each device was checked for placement, mechanical stability, appearance, connectivity and coordination with other devices before handover. The objective was a stable system that remains easy to use and can be expanded later.

Gesture control with Aqara G350

In the source configuration, the Hi gesture turns on living-room lighting, OK triggers Movie mode and Five triggers the Leaving Home scene.

Leaving Home scene

When the Five gesture triggers the Leaving Home scene, the configured devices switch off in sequence after approximately 30 seconds, allowing the homeowners to leave without checking each device manually.

Centralized control through S1 Plus and Siri

S1 Plus brings key controls onto one central screen while Siri voice control is available for compatible functions in the configured ecosystem.

Bathroom automation and whole-home connectivity

Bathroom presence sensors can trigger the appropriate functions in those spaces. The TP-Link Wi-Fi 6 system maintains network coverage across floors and supports the Internet-use management described in the source project.

Smart Home treated as part of the home's technical infrastructure

After completion, the homeowners had a broad Aqara Smart Home system with layered security, door-specific smart locks, centralized control, automated curtains and bathrooms, stable Wi-Fi coverage and devices selected to coordinate with the interior.

The value of the project is not only the close-to-100 device count, but also the surveying, infrastructure planning, installation, configuration and testing required to make the components operate together as one system.
