Aqara’s new hub is a multi-protocol Matter powerhouse

Aqara’s Hub M3 will bring third-party devices into the Aqara app for the first time.

This means you should be able to connect any Matter-compatible device to the M3, from Philips Hue lights and Eve smart shades to Google’s Nest Thermostat, and control and automate them all from Aqara’s powerful app. Developed by Apple, Amazon, Google, and Samsung (and others), Matter is an open-sourced, IP-based connectivity software layer for smart home devices. These include lighting, plugs and switches, thermostats, locks, security and environment sensors, refrigerators, dishwashers, smoke alarms, air quality monitors, and more.
