## Description

desertcart.com: Aqara Smart Home Hub M3 for Advanced Automation, Matter Controller, Thread Border Router, Features Zigbee, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, PoE, IR, Supports Alexa, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, Home Assistant, IFTTT : Tools & Home Improvement

Review: Best thing since sliced bread - I got this hub to use a as a "matter" bridge. I have it linking a Phillips hue bridge and lifx light bulbs. I wanted to control the lifx bulbs on/off + dimming capabilities and the "hue" remote has no equal, so far. After countless of hours of research, it boiled down to using the "matter" protocol. Not only this hub supports "matter", but also zigbee, and wifi devices (among others). The automations to that can be configured, as well as the app, are very robust; although at times, not intuitive. I cut it some slack on that front since it can do so much, I can see how it would be difficult to simplify it.
Review: Good range, lots of good features, but only works with Aqara devices - Good zigbee home automation hub. Lots of great automation and security features built into it and the iPhone App. Easy to set up. Easy to create automations. I added temperature sensors all over the house and inside the refrigerator and freezer. The hub sets off a loud alarm if the freezer fails of the door is left open. We added water sensors, temperature & humidity sensors, and smart locks. Only down side is that it only works with Aqara devices. No third-party devices.

## Features

- [Multi-Protocol Hub with Matter Bridge] The M3 is a versatile hub supporting Aqara Zigbee and Thread devices. It integrates third-party devices into the Aqara Home app. Supports advanced Matter bridge functionality, enabling Aqara-exclusive scenes and signals to sync with Matter ecosystems such as Home Assistant for seamless integration. Supports up to 127 Aqara Zigbee devices （** Not third-party Zigbee devices) and 127 Thread 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.
- [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 smart home hub 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. ) . Note: To ensure a stable connection, place the Hub M3 between 6 to 19 feet from the router.
- [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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A high quality, high functionality device marred by a poor app and expensive accessories
*by E***. on April 6, 2025*

A really good solid hub. Very reliable. The automations never failed to run. Nice built in speaker with various alarm options. Cool ablity to bundle together multiple sensors into a single Matter "signal". For example--6 water leak sensors--if a single 1 of them registers water, the combined signal fires and alerts my Home Assitant which is connected to the M3 hub via Matter. You can choose what Aqara items to expose to Matter, which is great., it doesn't just puke out everything unless you want that. If I recall it's similar for HomeKit, but I did not get into that too much. Why 4 stars? It cannot adopt 3rd party zigbee. This is not a secret and they do tell you this prominently in the description. But what I found is I need more zigbee routers or else some Aqara sensors that are far away from the hub lose connection. So Aqara's outlets are like $30 and normal generic zigbee outlets are like $12. So I was considering how I would need to add several outlets for the sole purpose of extending the Aqara zigbee network. Aqara may be better quality than most, but the cost of the required network rapidly expanded. Why pay 3x for outlets that are only going to be routers and will not even have anything plugged into them? And I would be adding yet another (third) zigbee network to my existing Hue and Home Assistant networks. Plus the wifi also at the same frequency. And anyway with a generic zigbee setup I can just get an _actual_ zigbee range extender like the Aeotec Zi. So the lack of afforable range extenders is a huge issue with Aqara. Then lets talk about the Aqara app. It is chaotic, jumbled, confusing, phone-only (no computer access except via a MacBook running the iPad version). Dashboards and interfaces you create are trapped on that particular device, not stored on the hub. It's a horrid task to try to set up the same things for my devices plus everyone in my family. So as an automation-only proposition it is good. If you wanted dashbords and you do not live alone with a single phone...it's not a great exprience. If you are all-in on the Aqara ecosystem, this is the only Aqara hub to consider. Its ability to form a redundant cluster with another Aqara hub is spectacular and unique. I am selling mine on ebay as it was not a good fit for my house. I hate to see it go in some ways, but my home assistant box and generic Zigbee routers are cheaper and as a complete system work better. I _am_ still using my Aqara leak sensors, door contact sensors, and temp sensors as they work great...I'm just not using Aqara technology to inteface with them.
