Overview
- The thermostat, which went on sale Tuesday for $159.99, is available at Amazon, Best Buy, and Home Depot with a Matte Kit planned for the Apple Store in September.
- It is among the first to support Apple's Adaptive Temperature and Clean Energy Guidance, and using these in Apple Home requires a HomePod or Apple TV as a Matter hub.
- The W200 also works as a Matter 1.4 hub with Thread and Zigbee, enabling control of a wide range of devices across Apple, Google, Amazon, and SmartThings ecosystems.
- Built‑in mmWave presence sensing wakes the display and can drive occupancy‑based heating and cooling, while the screen can show Aqara doorbell snapshots or unlock a compatible smart lock.
- A MacRumors review flagged a heat‑pump control limit that prevents setting the compressor threshold below 20°F, and Aqara says it will update app wording and settings to address the confusion.
