- Multi-protocol hub with matte bridge: The M3 is a versatile hub that supports Aqara Zigbee and Thread devices. (A list of Aqara Zigbee devices that support Matter can be found on the Aqara website.) It integrates third-party devices into the Aqara Home app (currently limited to certain device types, will expand over time). As a Matter Bridge, it provides existing Aqara Zigbee devices Matter compatible apps such as Apple Home. Supports up to 127 thread/Zigbee devices (repeaters are required).
- [Edge compatibilities and local automations] The M3 serves as an edge hub and prioritizes local control and automation. After integration, it replaces existing Aqara hubs and shifts automations between them to local operations (*Some cloud-based notifications still require Internet). Upgrade-friendly, it supports migration of Zigbee devices from older Aqara hubs. (Reconfiguration is required for Matter and HomeKit; cloud integrations such as Google Home and Alexa retain all configurations.)
- Intelligent IR blaster with feedback and learning: The 360° IR blaster not only sends commands, but also delivers accurate status updates by detecting the use of conventional remote controls. It connects IR air conditioners to Matter and acts as a thermostat when pairing with an Aqara temperature and humidity sensor. (Note: only one AC device can be connected to Matter. Functionality may vary depending on the Matter integration app. Please use the Matter integration instead of HomeKit to connect Apple Home).
- [Optimal wired and wireless connectivity] The M3 offers both wired and wireless solutions and provides dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz) with advanced WPA3 security as well as a Power Over Ethernet (PoE) port. The additional USB-C socket allows mini UPS and power bank connections, ensuring unparalleled stability. (*2A USB charging adapter is not included.)
- [Privacy-oriented with encrypted memory] The M3 values data protection by excluding microphone or camera components. It features 8GB of end-to-end encrypted local storage for device lists, configuration parameters and automation configuration data. In addition, it includes a bracket and screws for flexible placement on flat surfaces, walls or ceilings. The Magic Pair technology ensures effortless detection by the Aqara Home app when switched on. Screw and stickers for flexible placement on flat surfaces, walls or ceilings.
