Aqara Hub M3
Why Aqara Hub M3?
Managing smart home devices across different brands and wireless protocols can quickly become complicated. Aqara Hub M3 is designed to serve as the central control hub for the Aqara ecosystem while also functioning as a Matter Controller, Thread Border Router, and Zigbee 3.0 hub. It enables local automation, supports third-party Matter devices, and reduces reliance on cloud services for a faster and more reliable smart home experience.
Unlike previous Aqara hubs, Hub M3 supports dual-band Wi-Fi, Power over Ethernet (PoE), Bluetooth 5.1, Thread, and Zigbee while featuring a built-in infrared (IR) blaster that can integrate compatible IR-controlled appliances into Matter ecosystems. Its local processing capabilities help automations continue operating even during internet outages.
