The Edge Hub Once integrated into the network, it assumes leadership over existing Aqara hubs, centralizing data processing and commanding other hubs for distributed computing.
Localization of Cross-Hub Automation Automations previously implemented in the cloud between hubs will transition to local Edge automations, ensuring they remain operational even during internet outages.
Device Binding for Fault Tolerance Certain routers or mesh repeaters execute 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 The M3 allows for straightforward migration from older Aqara hubs, enabling seamless network upgrades without manual device reconnections.
Wired and Wireless Connectivity Options 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.
Focus on Privacy and Encrypted Storage The M3 prioritizes privacy by omitting microphones and cameras, featuring end-to-end encrypted local storage and 8GB eMMC for secure data.
Powerful Speaker and Custom Ringtones 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.
Flexible Placement and Easy Setup 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.
1 Matter over Thread Device
2 Zigbee Devices
3 Matter over Wi-Fi Devices
If you've used Aqara Home and hubs, choose to lead M3 or migrate Zigbee devices to M3 for enhanced automation. (Note: The Hub M3 is only compatible with Aqara brand Zigbee devices, not third-party Zigbee devices.)
The hub M3 is only compatible with Aqara brand Zigbee devices such as Aqara Water Leak Sensor, Aqara Door and Window Sensor, Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor, etc. The specific list can be found in the troubleshooting guide and user manual. Note: Incompatible with third-party Zigbee devices.)

It integrates third-party devices into the Aqara Home app. 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 （** Not third-party 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.
[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 smart home hub 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: To ensure a stable connection, place the Hub M3 between 6 to 19 feet from 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.
