Hub & Gateway
Aqara hubs are the center of the manufacturer's home network: they connect Aqara sensors, locks, and switches and make them controllable from the Aqara application and voice assistants. The M3 manages Matter, Zigbee, Thread, and WiFi; the M200 adds infrared control for air conditioners and televisions and can be powered by the network cable. Those who use Roraima can also connect Aqara Zigbee sensors directly to the Roraima Hub, without a manufacturer's hub. An Aqara hub remains useful if you want to use the functions of the Aqara application, or if you have Aqara locks in the property.
