Where Does Aqara Home Store Devices and Clips?
Where the Aqara Home app keeps devices and scenes on Android and iPhone, and what the account syncs.
Last updated
Aqara centers on the account. Homes, rooms, and automations sync from your login with the region server you picked at signup. The phone holds preferences, Bluetooth cache, and manual media. Hardware keeps firmware and card footage.
Manual camera saves land in the gallery. Exact Android cache names vary by release, so manage storage from inside the app. Clearing cache is safe and keeps login. Clearing data logs out but leaves homes and cloud clips intact. Wrong region on login shows an empty home, which looks like loss but is just a different shard.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Aqara devices to a new phone?
Homes, devices, and automations follow your Aqara account on sign in. Phones hold login and cache only. Camera footage stays on card or cloud per model. Sign in on the new phone with the same region, then verify rooms before wiping the old one.
Where are my Aqara camera recordings?
Manual clips land in the gallery after saving. Continuous footage stays on the camera hub card or subscribed cloud. The app Album lists manual saves. Download events first for keepsakes, since card formatting erases local video.
