Product Overview
The Pastel Light Strip Controller H1 adopting new-generation quad-color mixing technology. It supports wider color temperature range (1800K-12000K) and rich tinted color light expression, meeting lighting needs for different scenarios.
Compared to traditional dual color temperature solutions, this technology provides more delicate light color changes, making the light environment closer to natural light variation patterns, thereby enhancing comfort and layering of space illumination. The controller adopts DC 12-24V input with output power up to 480W Max, capable of driving longer LED strips. Output ports include LED+ x2, R, G, B, W totaling 5 channels, supporting only single output, not multi-channel independent control.
The device supports Zigbee and Thread dual protocol connection (factory default is Zigbee), and can access Aqara Studio or Matter-compatible third-party ecosystems according to usage environment. It supports static and dynamic scene customization, 0~10s gradient transition, custom lighting transition curves and other advanced configurations. Combined with other Aqara smart devices, rich automation functions can be achieved.
- This device requires use with Aqara gateway for full functionality support. Certain specific features are only supported within the Aqara ecosystem.

Power On Device
Turn on power and confirm device is powered normally (when factory-default not-joined state, light breathes twice).
Device Pairing
Device defaults to Zigbee protocol for network joining. After device enters pairing mode, it can be added to Aqara Studio or Aqara Life App for use.
When device is not joined to network, upon powering on, light breathes twice and automatically enters pairing mode. Pairing time is 60s. If pairing time is exceeded, device can be power-cycled to re-enter pairing mode.
Add to Aqara Studio
According to current protocol used by device, please refer to following documents to complete addition:
