💡 The Technology (in Simple Terms):
- What is a Relay? Think of a relay as a smart, remote-controlled button. A low-power Zigbee signal from your hub tells the T2 relay to make an electrical connection (like "pressing a button"), safely turning your connected light or motor on and off.
- Zigbee 3.0: This is the wireless language the T2 uses to talk to your Aqara Hub. It's incredibly fast and stable, and creates a "mesh" network where devices can relay signals, ensuring reliable performance without congesting your home's Wi-Fi.
📲 The App & Platform Experience:
The T2 is controlled via a compatible Aqara Hub and the Aqara Home app, unlocking powerful integrations with platforms like Apple HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home for unified control and automation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q1: Can I use this T2 module to make my existing electric garage door smart?
A1: Yes, this is one of the most popular uses for the T2. By wiring it to your garage door opener's button terminals and using the "interlock" safety feature in the app, you can trigger your door to open and close remotely. We recommend pairing it with an Aqara Door & Window Sensor to also know if the door is open or closed.
Q2: Do I still need an Aqara Hub for this to work?
A2: Yes, absolutely. The Dual Relay Module T2 uses the Zigbee 3.0 protocol and requires a compatible Aqara Hub to connect to your Wi-Fi network and be controlled by the app.
Q3: Can I still use my existing garage door remote or wall button?
A3: Yes. The T2 module is wired in parallel with your existing controls, so your original remotes and wall buttons will continue to work as they always have. You simply gain the additional ability to control it smartly.
Q4: What is "interlock mode"? A4: Interlock mode is a safety feature that ensures only one of the two relay channels can be on at a time. This is essential for controlling motors like garage doors, as it prevents sending "open" and "close" commands simultaneously.
Q5: Does this module require a neutral wire?
A5: Yes, for most standard AC applications, a neutral wire is required for the module to be powered correctly. Please ensure one is available in your installation box.
