Purchase options and add-ons

  • [Multi-Protocol Hub with Matter Bridge] The M3 is a versatile hub supporting Aqara Zigbee and Thread devices. (Refer to Aqara's website for the list of Aqara Zigbee devices exposed to Matter). It integrates third-party devices into the Aqara Home app (currently limited to select device types, will be expanded over time). As a Matter bridge, it exposes existing Aqara Zigbee devices to Matter-compatible apps such as Apple Home. Supports up to 127 Thread/Zigbee devices (Repeaters are needed).
  • [Edge Compatibilities and Local Automations] The M3 serves as an Edge Hub, prioritizing local control and automation. Upon integration, it supersedes existing Aqara hubs, shifting the automations among them to local operation (*Some cloud-based notifications still require internet). Upgrade-friendly, it supports migrating Zigbee devices from older Aqara hubs. (Reconfiguration is needed for Matter and HomeKit; Cloud integrations like Alexa retain all the configurations.)
  • [Smart IR Blaster with Feedback and Learning] The 360°IR blaster not only sends commands but also provides accurate status updates by detecting traditional remote use. It connects IR air conditioning units to Matter, functioning as an AC thermostat when paired with an Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor. (Note: Only one AC device can be exposed to Matter. Functionality may vary based on the Matter integration app. For Apple Home exposure, use Matter integration instead of HomeKit.)
  • [Optimal Wired and Wireless Connectivity] Offering both wired and wireless solutions, the M3 provides dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz) with advanced WPA3 security, and a Power over Ethernet (PoE) port. The addition of a USB-C port allows for mini-UPS and power bank connections, delivering unparalleled stability. (*2A USB power adapter is not included. )
  • [Privacy-Focused with Encrypted Storage, Easy Setup and Versatile Placement] The M3 prioritizes privacy by excluding microphone or camera components. It boasts 8GB end-to-end encrypted local storage, for device lists, configuration parameters, and automation configuration data. Additionally, it includes a mount and screws for flexible placement on flat surfaces, walls, or ceilings. Magic Pair technology ensures effortless detection by the Aqara Home app upon power-up.

    Customers like the features of the networking hub, mentioning it's loaded with features and has versatile IR-remote settings. However, some customers have reported issues with performance, connectivity, and leakage. They say it doesn't work with zigbee 3.0, third-party products, and does not pair to Aqara E1 Curtin drivers.

    1 out of 5 stars

    Does NOT work with third-party products

    The claims Aqara makes regarding this item's capabilities are misleading, or at the very least, need an asterisk. It does NOT act as Thread Border Router for third-party products. It does NOT allow you to add Matter devices which are not manufactured by Aqara. I also learned that Aqara is built upon the Tuya platform -- basically re-branded Tuya products just like Gosund, Meross, SmartLife, Feit, and hundreds of other "manufacturers." This was the first and is the last Aqara device I will ever purchase. I've included screenshots so you can see what you are getting into if you purchase this item.

    I like that this incorporates Zigbee 3.0, Matter, Bluetooth, WiFi and Ethernet (with PoE) among other connectivity. Its about the size of an Apple TV, powers off a USB C PD connection or PoE and provides a great integration with Amazon Alexa and Apple Homekit - both of which I utilize. I also have this integrated with Matter into Home Assistant which then brings my accessories (U50 Door Lock, No Neutral Light Switches) into Home Assistant seamlessly.

    I did have a lot of issues pairing with the Aqara FP2 Presence sensor - but then worked out that I don't really have a strong use case for a presence sensor as of now so returned it.

    I would really like this hub to be able to pair with third party Zigbee 3.0 devices and not just third party Matter devices. I hope this comes in a future update. However, as of now, it works well. It is a bit on the expensive side, but I thought it was worth the premium for a bit of future functionality. There are other much cheaper Aqara hubs you could get if you need a basic one.

    I never regret buying Aqara tools. But you need to be ready for perpetual manual syncing between your Homekit and Aqara. Most of sensors kept default names though I named them properly when initializing. Also rooms and device/censors names require sync every time you add anything new from Aqara. On the other hand, I do enjoy built-in temperature sensor and versatile IR-remote settings.
    Maybe it works better with Google or Amazon, I haven't tested that.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment at Launch (Updated)
    Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Second Update: While I wouldn’t/couldn't go though the process below (initial Migration from M2 to M3), there was a firmware update today (May 17th) that claims to address the issue below.

    [First Update: 2-to-3 stars because of customer service reached out — issues happen but proactive support seems to be rare in 2024 so I appreciate it enough to raise the rating. Also, after repairing everything to the new M3, it has been as stable as my M2.]

    Summary: Transition from M2 to M3 has been a huge frustration.

    Lesson/Tip: If your current setup works, don't change anything.

    Upgrade/Migration Fail(s):

    I had two M2 Hubs, admittedly unnecessary, in my house. I bought two M3 Hubs to replace them. I went through the Migration option — which I thought was genius compared to how these usually go — but it was a fail.

    Both Migrations seemingly worked. The sensors populated and were responsive for a couple hours. Thereafter, nearly half of the Child-Devices (sensors/lights) disconnected when the signal was "Excellent" and battery life was good.

    The bizarre part is that half the sensors from each M3 disconnected (compared to one Hub's entire list of sensors being offline). There also wasn't a pattern (distance or type — unless I missed it).

    I went ahead and migrated the M3 sensors from one to the other (all Child Devices now on one M3 Hub). That step included re-adding the sensors from the now-unusued M3 Hub. Everything worked... for an hour. Thereafter, the Migrated Child Devices (not just re-added) all went offline. So, after 3 Migrations and re-adding half my devices, the other half of the devices are now offline again.

    I have been waiting for this hub since Q4 2023. While it had some hiccups according to the techies, it really did not have as much issue for me. I am new to the game and mostly have Aqara products. The installation was easy and so was the transition of hubs that I currently own (M2 and E1). I did have to reset a few items (2 door/window sensors and 1 light switch). All my animations still worked. The price was a little higher than expected, but i took advantage of the rollout discount. I may buy a second one for backup, but all of my stuff is very new (within the last 6 months). My M3 is in the center of my home on a niche that is about 8 feet above the floor. It is directly connected to the internet via the Google Nest mesh router. I have three evenly spaced so everything is well connected. I have about 30 Aqara products that work with no issue.

    L'Aqara Hub M3 est un véritable atout pour toute maison intelligente. Sa compatibilité avec la technologie Matter en fait un choix judicieux pour ceux qui cherchent à créer un écosysteme domotique unifié pour l'avenir.

Sa connectivite Ligbee assure une communication stable avec vos capteurs, interrupteurs et autres appareils Zigbee de la marque. Vous pouvez compter sur lui pour maintenir votre réseau domotique en parfait état de marche. Que ce soient des capteurs à la cave ou à l'étage, tous sont detectes parfaitement.

    5.0 out of 5 stars M3 Hub von Aqara mit Thread in Apple HomeKit
    Reviewed in Germany on July 23, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Habe mir diesen M3 Hub in erster Linie gekauft, um die tollen und günstigen Sensoren von Aqara auch in Apples Home App zugänglich zu machen und um von dort dann ggf. Automationen zu triggern. Spätere Erweiterungen, wie Schlösser, Beleuchtung oder Kameras nicht ausgeschlossen.

    Die Einrichtung des Hubs war ein Kinderspiel und dauerte nur wenige Minuten.
    1. Aqara App laden,
    2. M3 Hub ans Stromnetz anschließen (Hinweis: Ladestecker liegt nicht bei, Kabel schon),
    3. Aqara App öffnen und die geführte kurze Einrichtung erledigen,
    4. den Aqara Einrichtungscode (Aufkleber direkt am Gerät) mit Handy-Cam scannen,
    5. JETZT WICHTIG, erst einmal mögliche Firmware-Updates laden (bei mir waren es zwei),
    6. erst jetzt die Aqara Sensoren, Kameras, Schlösser oder was auch immer von der Firma hinzufügen,
    7. nun über den Menüpunkt "zu Apple Home hinzufügen" in der Aqara App den Apple HomeKit-Code scannen (Aufkleber auch direkt am Gerät) und den M3 Hub so zu Apples Home hinzufügen,
    8. der Hub wird in Apples Home App als Bridge angezeigt - fertig,
    9. die Sensoren, die ich unter Punkt 6 hinzugefügt hatte, erscheinen alle in Apple Home, perfekt.
    10. gutes und wertvolles Extra, der M3 Hub fungiert auch als Thread-Border-Router.
    Er erweitert so mein bereits existierendes Thread-Netzwerk um einen sog. vollwertigen Knotenpunkt.
    Mein Thread-Netzwerk wird so noch feinmaschiger und stabiler als es ohnehin schon war.
    Nehme ich aber/also gerne als Goodie.

    Hinweis:
    Wer mehr zu Thread erfahren will, bitte einfach googeln.
    Wer sich das eigene Thread-Netzwerk anschauen will, dem empfehle ich die gelungene App von Eve.
    Diese App zeigt als bislang einzige App (Stand: 07/2024) ein solches Netzwerk übersichtlich (Apple HomeKit) an.

    Erfahrungen mit diesem M3 Hub unter Android oder Home Assistant habe ich keine.
