First-Time Aqara user: It started with this hub
I’m not new to Smart devices. For the past two years, I have been using a Samsung Smartthings hub with their door and motion sensors. The problem? Every 2-3 months I was replacing the batteries in those sensors. I was completely dissatisfied with Samsung devices.Aqara was not the first remedy I sought. Sure, their accessories are dirt cheap, but wading through the number of reviews, there are just as many bad as good. On top of that, the fact that this is a Chinese company raises security concerns.I decided to replace all my Samsung sensors with those from Aqara. Additionally, since I wanted to integrate them into Apple Homekit, I wanted to get the latest and greatest hub from Aqara. And, once again, the reviews on this product were all over the map. At worst, I would return the hub if it didn’t work.I am amazed at how quickly I not only set up this hub (pairing it with the Aqara app), but all the sensors and motion detectors I bought in addition to it. I wired the M3 hub directly out of my Eero mesh unit’s ethernet output. It quickly connected to the Aqara app and soon afterward, I was connecting my accessories.No issues. Everything showed up not only in Homekit but in the Alexa app as well. Whenever my doors were opened or closed, an alert was sent to my iPhone (iOS 18) and Mac.All of this was set up within 35 minutes out of the box.The only downside to this hub is that it’s expensive. It only covers approximately 60-65 feet and I have a very large home. I am either going to have to buy more of these hubs or the cheaper Aqara extender if I want to add more accessories at the further end of my home.I do completely understand, from the extensive research I have done that this is a half-baked product which has a lot of bugs. The fact I am only using it for basic monitoring functionality is probably the reason why everything has worked as smoothly as it has including quick pairing to devices.I will say that I went from being skeptical about Aqara to becoming a huge fan of their devices. I am amazed at how well they work, how long their batteries allegedly last, and how cheap they cost. I’m also optimistic that their new M3 hub will only get better through software updates. It’s nice to have a device that can help all my different security devices, Alexa and Google hubs, and Apple Homekit work together.

It works sometimes
I purchased this to be a Matter gateway for my automations. It constantly disconnects from the wireless, even being in the same room as the AP it is connecting to. I know it offers wired connections but where I need to deploy it doesn’t have a drop. Otherwise it does what it needs to do for me.

Constant disconnects
It seems like every other week the entire system disconnects and the only way I can find to restore it is to undo the entire system so all the devices have to be located next to the hub to reconnect. In short it doesn’t work reliably. Edit: change that to doesn’t work at all, I have a very basic setup; all within range; nothing connects anymore. Don’t waste your money!

Aqara is awesome!
Needed to update my Aqara hub, this works great. Good quality, connected around the 1200 to 1500 sqft home. Im not even utilizing half the capabilities, great value for money.

Modern, good loud speaker but has a few quirks
I like that this incorporates Zigbee 3.0, Matter, Bluetooth, WiFi and Ethernet (with PoE) among other connectivity. Its about the size of an Apple TV, powers off a USB C PD connection or PoE and provides a great integration with Amazon Alexa and Apple Homekit – both of which I utilize. I also have this integrated with Matter into Home Assistant which then brings my accessories (U50 Door Lock, No Neutral Light Switches) into Home Assistant seamlessly.I did have a lot of issues pairing with the Aqara FP2 Presence sensor – but then worked out that I don’t really have a strong use case for a presence sensor as of now so returned it.I would really like this hub to be able to pair with third party Zigbee 3.0 devices and not just third party Matter devices. I hope this comes in a future update. However, as of now, it works well. It is a bit on the expensive side, but I thought it was worth the premium for a bit of future functionality. There are other much cheaper Aqara hubs you could get if you need a basic one.

Easy to set up – But doesn’t work with smartlife app
I am running a bunch of IOT devices over wifi in a smartlife ecosystem, and experience drops and challenges due to router limitations and a – at times – flaky internet connection. So my plan is to move all of this to matter (for localization) and thread (to take load off the router).In this context, I stumbled upon the aqara m3, which was easy to set up in the aqara app, hence the two stars. But impossible to incorporate into the smartlife ecosystem. So unusable in my context.

Must have for automation fans
This things costs a small fraction of what ADT charged me for the security system in my house and it does exactly the same and more. The multiple connectivity options allowed me to consolidate some devices around the home and declutter my automation infrastructure. I love it!

I updated my system from the previous hub version and everything works fine. All the sensors are ok with it. Gained some features.

L’ Aqara Hub M3 si presenta come una soluzione centrale per la gestione della domotica, affrontando efficacemente le problematiche di compatibilità che spesso affliggono gli utenti di Home Assistant. Una delle sue caratteristiche distintive è la capacità di operare senza una connessione internet, memorizzando i dati localmente. Questo garantisce una connessione affidabile con sensori e interruttori all’interno dell’abitazione, migliorando la stabilità e la reattività del sistema.Un aspetto particolarmente rilevante è la funzione di router di confine per Thread tramite Matter. Questa funzionalità semplifica notevolmente l’integrazione di dispositivi compatibili, offrendo una piattaforma stabile e versatile per la gestione della smart home. Inoltre, l’HUB M3 supporta i protocolli Zigbee, Thread, Wi-Fi e Bluetooth, ampliando ulteriormente le possibilità di connessione e controllo dei dispositivi domestici.L’acquisto dell’HUB M3 è stato inizialmente motivato dalla necessità di gestire la serratura intelligente U200. Tuttavia, si è rivelato rapidamente utile anche per la gestione di altri dispositivi Aqara, dimostrando la sua versatilità e l’efficacia nel centralizzare il controllo della domotica.Un punto da considerare riguarda la compatibilità con alcuni telecomandi di condizionatori, come quelli della marca Riello. Al momento, l’HUB M3 non è riuscito a configurare correttamente questi dispositivi. Sebbene sia auspicabile un aggiornamento futuro che risolva questa limitazione, per ora è necessario affidarsi a soluzioni alternative, come i dispositivi Broadlink, per il controllo di tali apparecchi.In conclusione, l’Aqara Hub M3 rappresenta una soluzione robusta e stabile per la gestione della domotica, offrendo numerose funzionalità che semplificano l’integrazione e il controllo dei dispositivi domestici. Nonostante alcune limitazioni attuali, come la compatibilità con specifici telecomandi, le sue caratteristiche lo rendono un elemento centrale per chi desidera una smart home efficiente e ben integrata.

Me confieso fan de Aqara, la funcionalidad, confiabilidad y estética de los productos de domótica son una apuesta segura.Este nuevo modelo incluye compatibilidad Matter. Curiosamente, permite registrar los accesorios Aqara como Matter ó Homekit, alguno de ellos puede tener menos funcionalidades en una u otra “personalidad”.También permite exponer a Homekit los accesorios en ambas personalidades, por lo que en cualquier caso estás cubierto.No he probado compatibilidad Matter con accesorios de terceros.

Il me reste encore cependant à ajouter les caméras extérieures et intérieures Bosch avec HOME KIT CONTRÃLLER et où AQARA ⦠à suivre donc pour ce point !
