What is Aura?
Heatzone Carpet
Smart Sensor Vase
App
One system. Three parts. Warmth that thinks ahead.
Powered by the sensor in the vase
The sensors sit discreetly in a designer vase from our workshop. With Aura Pro, an AI room radar detects which zone someone is in – even when you sit perfectly still. With Aura, a presence sensor switches the zone on as soon as someone is there.

Set it up once. Then the autopilot heats.
In the app you set up your zones once – in Aqara Home for Aura Pro, in the Meross app for Aura. After that there is nothing left to do: sensor and heat zone detect on their own when someone is there and automatically maintain the optimal radiant temperature.
App screens are examples. Aura Pro uses Aqara Home, Aura with presence sensor uses the Meross app.

Less energy
Potential savings compared with heating the whole room – calculated in the white paper “Zone, not room”.
Radar
Detects you
The room radar in Aura Pro detects presence in the zone – even while you read quietly on the couch.
Carbon
Flat heating technology
Flat, can take sharp-edged and heavy furniture and is easy to install in any room.
Autopilot
Learns your routines
Control it in the app or leave it to the autopilot: warmth is there when you arrive – and leaves when you go.
How Aura Pro works
You sit down. The zone knows.
A room radar on the wall detects where someone is – no camera, no image, even in the dark. Only the zone you are in gets warm.
- DETECTThe room radar registers position and the smallest movements – even when you sit still on the couch.
- SIGNALThe zone logic assigns you to the right zone and passes on the signal.
- HEATThe carbon heating surface under the rug warms evenly – only where you are.
The zone
A room is the wrong unit for warmth.
Conventional heating warms air, walls and empty corners just to reach the one spot where someone is sitting. Aura turns this around: the zone is the area under and around you – smaller than any room and only active while it is used.

For your life
Warmth exactly where you spend your time.
A zone is smaller than a room: the couch, the desk, the washstand. Aura heats this zone precisely – the rest of the room stays cool.

Living room
No more fighting over the thermostat.
Whoever feels cold has their own warmth zone on the couch. The room doesn't have to get warmer – and everyone else is happy.

A day with Aura Pro
Personalised all day. Without you thinking about it.
Heat zone, sensor and app work together: the warmth follows your day – not the thermostat on the wall.
07:45
Aura gets ready
Following your schedule, the zone preheats before you sit down at your desk.
08:10
Presence detected
The room radar registers that you are in the zone and maintains the optimal radiant temperature.
12:30 PM
You leave – so does Aura
No presence anymore? The zone automatically switches to eco mode. No heating into thin air.
Sunday
Know what it's worth
In the app you can see when each zone ran – and how much energy you saved compared with heating the whole room.
App screens are examples. Features depend on the model (Aura with presence sensor, Aura Pro with room radar).
Comparison
How well does your heating know when you're there?
All three use the same carbon heating surface. The difference is how the zone knows you're there – from a schedule to a room radar.

Savings potential roughly estimated from the calculation example in the white paper “Zone, not room” (Aura L, 4.5 h of presence per day): a schedule has to cover the time spent with a buffer (e.g. 6 instead of 4.5 h) and also runs on days with a different routine – presence detection saves this idle time. The room radar additionally heats only the occupied zone instead of the whole detection area; this advantage only applies in rooms with several zones. Actual values depend on usage and room.Read the white paper

Customer voices
What our customers say
All perfect!
„We particularly appreciated the communication between the owner and us as customers! We got prompt help with the installation and with setting up the schedule in the app. Calling the company works great! If they can't pick up, they call you back right away. Not something you get with every company. We are extremely satisfied!!“
Simply great!
„I'm thrilled with my huge rug. Why didn't something like this exist sooner? My feet are nice and warm, cosy warmth. I'll see how it turns out with the electricity costs.“

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is zone heating?
Zone heating warms only the area where you actually spend time – for example at the couch, the desk or the washstand. Instead of heating the air in the whole room, Aura warms you directly. Our guide “Using your heated rug correctly” explains how it works.
Aura or Aura Pro – what's the difference?
Both use the same flat graphene heating surface. Aura switches the zone with a presence sensor in the smart vase and is controlled via the Meross app. Aura Pro uses an AI room radar that detects which zone someone is in – controlled via Aqara Home. Compare models.
How much energy do I save with a heat zone?
That depends on how you use the room and how you heat today. Our white paper “Zone, not room” (PDF, German) shows a theoretical savings potential of up to 90% compared with heating the whole room. With the cost calculator you can work out your own situation.
Which app do I need?
Aura Pro runs in the Aqara ecosystem (Aqara Home app): there you define your zones in the radar's room map. Aura with presence sensor uses the Meross app, for example with the automation “presence detected → zone on”.
Does the room radar use a camera?
No. The room radar works without a camera and without images. It detects presence and position via radar waves – even when you sit perfectly still or it is dark.
Is Aura suitable for rented flats and old buildings?
Yes. Aura is not installed – it simply lies on your existing floor, without ripping up tiles or changing your heating system. When you move, you take it with you. More in our guides “Heating in a rented flat” and “Warm in an old building”.
Can I use my own rug?
Yes. Aura Plain and Aura Pro Plain are the pure heating technology without a rug and can be used under your existing rug. Alternatively, Aura is available as a ready-made designer rug.
Does Aura replace my heating?
Aura complements your heating: the room temperature can drop while the zone you're in stays comfortably warm. In holiday and garden houses without heating, Aura can also provide warmth at the most important spots on its own.
When will it be delivered?
Batch 1 ships in the second half of November, batch 2 at the end of December. You can see the delivery time when selecting the variant on the product page.
