Aqara Hub M3
[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).
Matter Controller, Thread Border Router, Features Zigbee, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, PoE, IR
[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.
Aqara Hub M3
Continuous Connectivity for Your Smart Devices.
The Premier All-in-One Hub: Multi-Protocol Support & Matter Bridge Functionality
The M3 acts as a versatile hub, supporting Aqara Zigbee and Thread devices*, while also integrating third-party devices into the Aqara Home app. As a Matter bridge**, it ensures smooth communication between Aqara devices and other Matter-compatible platforms. With support for up to 127 Thread/Zigbee devices, the M3 offers unmatched connectivity for effortless control of your smart home products.
*Third-party device support is currently a "Lab" feature, and only covers selective device types.
**Please note: The types of devices and features supported may vary across third-party Matter ecosystems. For specific details, please refer to the official website of respective ecosystem provider
***To achieve the maximum number of connected devices, repeaters should be used
A Matter Bridge
It is designed to facilitate interoperability between different smart home ecosystems. Specifically, it enables communication between Aqara Zigbee devices and Matter and Homekit apps, ultimately providing greater flexibility and control over your connected devices.
*Please note, the functionalities exposed to particular Matter app may vary depending on app functionality.
The Edge Hub: Enhanced Stability and Localization with Edge Compatibility
Centralized-Distributed Smart Home System
Once integrated into the network, it assumes leadership over existing Aqara hubs, centralizing data processing and commanding other hubs for distributed computing.
Localization of Cross-Hub Automation
Automations previously executed in the cloud between hubs will transition to local Edge automations, ensuring they remain operational even during internet outages.

*Some automations such as cloud push notification will stil require the cloud connection to be executed
UItimate Stability and Device Binding Capability
In the event of a Hub M3 failure, certain routers or mesh repeaters are capable of executing simple automations*. For example, the automation of Curtain Driver and Door and Window Sensor remains operational in case the M3 fails, providing a seamless automation experience.
*Supported devices: Zigbee - LED Strip T1; Ceiling Light T1M, Relay T2, and will be improved over time; Thread - in the future, wired Thread controllers are confirmed to support binding
An IR Controller
An IR controller with feedback and learning capabilities offers an intuitive solution for controlling a wide range of IR-compatible devices. Now, it has the ability for status detection and integrating ACs into the Matter system.
*Please note: the infrared frequency is 38kHz
**Only one device of the AC type can be exposed to Matter, and the functionality may vary depending on the particular app
Hub Migration: Seamless Upgrade and Data Transmission
The M3 allows for straightforward migration from older Aqara hubs, enabling seamless network upgrades without manual device reconnections.
*Please Note: some hubs such as Camera Hub G2H and Aqara Hub do not currently support this functionality.
Wired or Wireless: Versatile Connectivity Options
The M3 offers dual-band Wi-Fi with WPA3 security, PoE support, and a USB-C allows for UPS/power bank connections, ensuring robust and versatile connectivity.
Focus on Privacy and Encrypted Storage
The M3 does not include any microphones and cameras, and features an end-to-end encrypted local storage* for device lists, configuration parameters and automation data.
* More types of data will be able to be stored locally with future software updates.
Powerful Speaker and Custom Ringtones
The hub's 95dB speaker functions as an Aqara Home Alert siren or for announcements, allowing custom ringtones to be integrated into automations, even without an internet connection.
Flexible Placement and Easy Setup
The M3 comes with a mount, screws, and sticker for easy placement on flat surfaces, walls, or ceilings. Once powered, MagicPair enables automatic Aqara Home app detection.
IF you have used Aqara Home and Aqara hubs before, you will have two options:
either make M3 lead other Aqara Zigbee hubs, which will enhance their local automation capabilities,
or to migrate all the Zigbee Aqara devices to the M3 and make your setup even more robust
Fully functional air conditioning thermostat by simply connecting a Climate Sensor
Thanks to the built-in IR blaster, the M3 can control your existing IR devices, such as an Air Conditioner. By connecting an external Aqara Climate (Temperature and Humidity) Sensor, you will be able to trigger automations based on the actual temperature of your room, and expose this AC to third-party apps such as Apple Home, Amazon Alexa and Google Home via Matter.
