Aqara - Doorbell Camera Hub G410

I had two Logitechs, bought in 2022. One died in 2023 and Logitech sent me a replacement that was refurbished. This year both Logitech units started to have the glass face delaminate and both units overheated to the point where they would not come back online. Even when the Logitech units were working, they were slow to load video and late to notify on motion events and doorbell presses. I have no experience with the Wemo product but I cannot recommend the Logitech units. I replaced the Logitech units with the Aqara G410 doorbell and the Aqara has been great.

Same. I made my Reolink doorbell HKSV compatible via Scrypted, but the Reolink randomly croaked this week. Decided to try the G410 cause of native HKSV, but now the G400 seems like a more reliable option, even though it's a lower model? Who the heck makes a doorbell that's not fully weather resistant? I want an HKSV doorbell that works with my existing doorbell wiring that is reliable. That's it. Maybe Apple will make one eventually.

I installed a G410 today :) I finally ditched Nest for good.

I've been happy with my G410. I use an sd card for recording video, and it works well.

I’ve had the Aqara G410 since launch and it’s been rock solid - significantly better than the G4.  My only complaint is that the battery life could be better.

I have the Aqara G410 and it integrates super easily with HomeKit. I used to have a Reolink doorbell and had to mess around with Home Assistant to get it working with HomeKit, but the G410 just works out of the box. One nice bonus is that the G410 also acts as a hub if you ever want to add more Aqara gear later. Since you already have an Apple TV, that will serve as your Thread border router, so you can still access and control everything in the Home app even when you are away from home.

Most compatible with HA replink for sure, most compatible with HomeKit, aqara g410, I switched my replink to aqara for my doorbell because I never got the 2 way audio to work, I moved the reolink doorbell to the garage, as a camera or perfect but for the rest of the family and notification and HomeKit, I prefer aqara. Is not perfect but is better

What don't you like about it? I have the same doorbell and love it. It detects my face and unlocks my front door and works great.

Aqara G4 or the new one G410 if you are able to wire it up. It’s been flawless with decent wifi. Incidentally I did the same and replaced my Ring Doorbell and removed it from my Homebridge hub.

I’m not sure if this is helpful here but I just bought the G410 and returned it after four days. I get direct sunlight in the afternoon hours and every single day without fail, it would overheat and then start working fine in the evening again. Real shame since the hub functionality worked great.

Spent the last 3 days with both the G410 and the Reolink. I could write a long boring reply as to why, but the Reolink wins if you care about image quality and more granular control of sensitivity for motion alerts. The Aqara wins if you just want a more plug and play style and don’t care if the image is a good chunk worse. The Reolink is just so much more customizable. I ran mine through Scrypted and it is performing super fast. Maybe 1 or 2 seconds behind a pure motion notification with the full HKSV video compared to Aqara’s near 12 second delay. If you’re up for a more complicated setup, the Reolink setup is a chore but the image quality is solidly better. I can’t believe how washed out the G410 is. Also, and I know this is a small thing, but the Aqara’s chime is fugly and is powered with a usb c cable and that adds to the fugliness. I like reolinks plug - chime. Oh and last thing, the Reolink feels almost half the size of the Aqara so your doorway feels much more minimalistic with the Reolink.

I love everything about it except image quality. I bought and returned 2 of them now thinking they were defective but the image quality I’ve experienced under a porch in shade looking out into the brighter section of my front yard is so shockingly blown out that I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I have a 3rd now that I got just to make sure and sure enough, the 3rd one is crazy blown out. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Love the hub, connectivity, speed, and ease of adding, but I just can’t get past the image.

The Aqara g410 is completely HomeKit compatible. Even acts as a thread mesh extender. I’ve had mine for over a week! Love the viewing angles. Just with there was more control over the hdr feature.
