Home Security
Aqara expands its security portfolio with the introduction of the Doorbell Camera G400 (Wired), which offers always-on surveillance at the front door. Designed for uninterrupted use, this doorbell is IP65-rated and can be powered via a PoE cable or a low voltage power supply (8-24V AC/DC). The G400 boasts a 2K sensor and head-to-toe coverage, ensuring no detail is missed. It supports cloud AI capabilities for face, package, vehicle, and animal detection, alongside on-device motion and person detection. Similar to other Aqara doorbells, the G400 integrates seamlessly with Apple Home (including HomeKit Secure Video), Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, and Home Assistant (via RTSP), and offers flexible cloud and local storage options.
Aqara will also present two home surveillance prototypes at IFA:
Energy Efficiency
Aqara introduces the next-gen Radiator Thermostat W600, supporting both Thread and Zigbee connectivity. This thermostat allows users to optimize indoor climate with smart schedules, automations, or intuitive controls via mobile apps, virtual assistants, or a connected Climate Sensor W100. Compared to its predecessor, the W600 features an extended battery life of 2 years and broader compatibility with RA, RAV, RAVL, Caleffi, Giacomini, and M28×1.5 valves.
In addition, Aqara is expanding its H2 series of power management devices for the EU and UK markets, including the Wall Outlet H2 UK with the integrated fast charging USB-C port, the Power Plug H2 with EU and UK variants, and the IP44-rated Outdoor Plug H2 EU. A prototype of the Power Strip H2 EU will also be displayed. These products feature Thread/Zigbee dual-protocol support, Matter compatibility for future-proof interoperability, and power monitoring capabilities which allow for energy consumption-triggered automations in Aqara Home.
Matter Hub
Aqara also unveils the Hub M200, a multi-protocol solution that serves as a Matter Controller, Thread Border Router, Matter bridge for Aqara Zigbee devices, and 360° IR blaster. With Thread, Zigbee, dual-band Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth and infrared support, the M200 can integrate Aqara products, IR-compatible gadgets, and over 50 types of Matter-enabled devices into a unified smart home system.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander isn't scoring the way he usually does, but the Oklahoma City Thunder are still winning the way they normally do.
Gilgeous-Alexander, the reigning NBA MVP, averaged 31.1 points during the regular season. In the Western Conference semifinals against the Los Angeles Lakers, he is averaging 20 points and taking only 14 shots per game.
Oklahoma City has still won the first two games by an average of 18 points. Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren each scored 22 points, and the defending champion Thunder beat the Lakers 125-107 on Thursday night.
Ajay Mitchell, starting in place of injured Jalen Williams, is averaging 19 points on 50% shooting in the series for Oklahoma City.
“I think the coaching staff does a good job at just getting all of us ready,” said Mitchell, a second-year guard. "And we have a lot of competitors. Like, everyone’s a competitor on our team. So every time the lights are bright, everyone’s ready to go.”
Holmgren is the leading scorer for the Thunder in the best-of-seven series with 23 points per game. The 2026 All-Star also is averaging 10.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks.
Jared McCain, a midseason acquisition from the Philadelphia 76ers, barely played in the first round against Phoenix but has averaged 15 points and made 8 of 10 3-pointers in the series.
“He goes in there, stays in character, stays aggressive," Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. "He’s going to shoot the next shot. He makes the right plays, plays inside the team. He competes defensively, has had good defensive possessions for us. And he was huge tonight. You need that in a playoff series.”
The Lakers again were without scoring champion Luka Doncic, who is out indefinitely with a strained left hamstring. They also were missing forward Jarred Vanderbilt, the reserve forward who dislocated the pinkie on his right hand during the second quarter of Game 1. The Lakers had three players finish with five fouls, limiting their aggressiveness late in the game.
Los Angeles guard Austin Reaves, who struggled with his shot in Game 1, scored 31 points on 10-for-16 shooting in Game 2. LeBron James, coming off a 27-point effort in Game 1, followed that up with 23.
With the Lakers up 63-61 early in the third quarter, Gilgeous-Alexander got tied up with Reaves and was called for his fourth foul. Upon review, it was upgraded to a flagrant 1 for Gilgeous-Alexander's follow through. Oklahoma City's Alex Caruso was called for a technical foul as the situation was being sorted out.
Gilgeous-Alexander left the game with the Lakers up 65-61, but the Thunder rallied and took control without him. On a fast break, Holmgren found a trailing Jaylin Williams, who hit a 3-pointer and was fouled. His free throw put the Thunder up 85-74.
The Thunder outscored the Lakers 32-15 while Gilgeous-Alexander was out in the third quarter to take a 93-80 lead into the fourth.
“It was amazing," Gilgeous-Alexander said. “They strung together stops, they’re playing the right way offensively and things are going their way. Full confidence in those guys. They know how to win basketball games. And we've proven that. They’ve proven that no matter who’s on the floor, they know how to get the job done. And they just did it again tonight."
The Lakers cut Oklahoma City's lead to five in the fourth quarter before the Thunder pulled away again.
Los Angeles will host Game 3 on Saturday.
“We just stuck with it,” Holmgren said. “It’s the game of basketball. It’s not always going to go your way. It’s about how you respond. And this team has proven many times that we know how to respond. And we did so tonight.”
This story has been corrected to show that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 20, not 19, points per game against the Lakers.
