Aqara Smart Hub for Home Automation, Matter Controller, Thread Border Router

  Features: [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.)
