Aqara Hub M3
Multi-Protocol Hub with Matter Bridge Functionality
The M3 supports the lineup of Aqara Zigbee devices, acting as a Matter bridge, and seamlessly integrates the latest Aqara Thread devices1. It also connects third-party devices and integrates them into the Aqara Home app2.
Edge Compatibilities and local Automations
The M3 is an Edge Hub, focusing on direct local control and automation. Once integrated into vour network, it takes precedence over existing Aqara hubs, shifting the automations among them to local operation3.
IR Blaster with Feedback and Smart Learning
The 360° IR blaster not only sends commands but also detects traditional remote use for accurate status updates. It also connects IR air conditioning units to Matter, allowing it to function as an AC thermostat when paired with an Aqara Climate Sensor4.
Optimal Wired and Wireless Connectivity
Offering both wired and wireless solutions, the M3 provides dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4-5GHz) 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.
Privacy-Focused with Encrypted Storage
The M3 stands out by not including a microphone or camera, eliminating key privacy worries. It features local storage with end-to-end encryption, ensuring home data stays private. It also comes with 8GB eMMC storage for secure data handling.
Easy setup and Versatile Placement
The M3 includes a mount, screws, and a sticker for easy placement on flat surfaces, or mounting on walls or ceilings. Once powered on, its MagicPair technology ensures automatic detection by the Aqara Home App.
