The Hub M3 will bring third-party Matter devices into the Aqara app for the first time. Aqara also announced the Smart Lock U300 and Border Router Smart Plug.
Smart home company Aqara is finally launching its long-promised Hub M3, and it looks like it will be worth the wait. First teased in 2022, the Hub M3 is a Zigbee 3.0 hub for Aqara’s wide range of Zibgee devices, but it will also act as a Thread border router and a Matter controller for Aqara’s ecosystem.
Aqara also unveiled two more products: a new smart lever lock and a smart plug that can act as a Thread border router, alongside a new feature in its app designed to make smart home automations easier to set up. Aqara Border Router Smart Plug This is the first smart plug to be announced that also works as a Thread border router, which you need if you add Thread devices to your smart home. The plug uses dual-band Wi-Fi to enable Thread devices to communicate with the internet.
