The Hub M1S features a powerful built-in 2-watt speaker with configurable ringtones, and a built-in RGB light with configurable brightness and color. Both the speaker and the RGB light can be used in versatile ways, such as a siren, doorbell, alarm clock, or used in configurable home automations as a visual and/or auditory cue. Moreover, the M1S has a fully functional illumination sensor that can be used in automations via the Aqara Home app.
