Featuring advanced Matter bridge functionality, it centralizes local Edge automations for uninterrupted control, even offline. With dual-band Wi-Fi, PoE, and USB-C power options, plus a 360° IR blaster with feedback, it offers versatile connectivity and device control. Privacy is paramount with 8GB encrypted local storage and no microphones or cameras. Easy to set up and upgrade, the M3 is designed for professional-grade smart home integration and future-proof scalability. ## Description Product Description Centralized-Distributed Smart Home System Localization of Cross-Hub Automation Device Binding for Fault Tolerance Once integrated into the network, it assumes leadership over existing Aqara hubs, centralizing data processing and commanding other hubs for distributed computing. Automations previously implemented in the cloud between hubs will transition to local Edge automations, ensuring they remain operational even during internet outages. Certain routers or mesh repeaters implement automation if M3 Hub fails. For instance, Curtain Driver and Door/Window Sensor automation remain operational without M3, ensuring a seamless experience. Seamless Upgrade and Data Transmission Wired and Wireless Connectivity Options Focus on Privacy and Encrypted Storage Powerful Speaker and Custom Ringtones Flexible Placement and Easy Setup The M3 allows for straightforward migration from older Aqara hubs, enabling seamless network upgrades without manual device reconnections. 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. The M3 prioritizes privacy by omitting microphones and cameras, featuring end-to-end encrypted local storage and 8GB eMMC for secure data. 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. 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. Smart Home Automations ## Features - [Multi-Protocol Hub with Matter Bridge] The M3 is a versatile hub supporting Aqara Zigbee (**Not third-party zigbee device) and Thread devices. It integrates third-party devices into the Aqara Home app (currently limited to select device types, will be expanded over time). 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 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. (Reconfiguration is needed for Matter and HomeKit; Cloud integrations like Google Home and 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.)***Note that for a stable connection,please place M3 within 6 meters of 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CWLHSKYC | | Best Sellers Rank | 28,567 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 19 in Home Automation Hubs & Controllers | | Brand | Aqara | | Colour | Black | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 1,668 Reviews | | Display Type | LED | | Display type | LED | | Included Components | Hub M3 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 10.5L x 3.6W x 10.5H centimetres | | Item Highlight | Features Aqara Zigbee, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, PoE, IR, Supports HomeKit, Home Assistant, Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT | | Item Weight | 0.17 Kilograms | | Item weight | 0.17 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Lumi United Technology Co., Ltd | | Manufacturer Part Number | HM-G01E | | Material | Plastic | | Model Number | HM-G01E | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product dimensions | 10.5L x 3.6W x 10.5H centimetres | | UPC | 192784001165 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Aqara - **Colour:** Black - **Item weight:** 0.17 Kilograms - **Material:** Plastic - **Product dimensions:** 10.5L x 3.6W x 10.5H centimetres ## Images ![Smart Hub M3, Matter Controller, Thread Border Router - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61sFQ557qNL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How can l ensure a stable connection for the Hub M3?** A: To ensure a stable connection, place the Hub M3 between 6 to 19 feet from the router.
