How The New Aqara M3 Hub Broke My Smart Home

[@desmondkw]

Glad to see independent and thoughtful content from a real user and not a marketing talking point influencer. Can't wait for your next video!

I’m glad you found it helpful. Stay tuned 😀😀

Can I just say thank you! I have the M3 Hub coming this weekend and want to bind it with my Hue hub to use all my Hue stuff in the Aqara app. You are the first person to show how that's done. Maybe it's a well known thing, but I had no idea until I watched your video.

Glad you found something in the video helpful

Thanks for giving us a balanced and objective view. Not often that you get them on KZbin.

Nice video! Just letting you know the Amazon links don't lead the actual products

[@TyDaSpace]

Thanks for bring tht to my attention. It's been updated.

Thanks for the review. Hubitat, Home Assistant and Hoobs Pro are also all-in-one solutions for the Smart Home.

[@TyDaSpace]

Yup. All much better solutions. I personally use Home Assistant running on a PI.

Thanks for the Video! You should consider to by a dedicated Microphone, because the sound of the video hurts my ears, especially with Headphones on ;)

very confused 🙋‍♂️ is the thread border router the same as the aqara m3 hub?

[@TyDaSpace]

The Aqara M3 can act as a thread border router. It like your wifi in your house that your service provider gives you. That box can do wifi as well as other things. So your wireless phones can connect wirelessly to it to connect to the internet. Similar concept with the Aqara M3. It can do other things and can also act as a thread border router for thread devices to connect. I hope that kind of makes sense.

For me all Aqara child devices works only with Apple Home Kit. Both Smartthings and Google Home works only with Aqara Door sensor, Temp sensor and Plug EU. Wall Light switches, leak sensor doesn't work. And I used all Aqara HUBs - no progress :(

My SmartThings wont connect to my aqara m3. I get a "prepare device" and then a "cant find device" message when i scan qr or manually input matter code . Its connected to the aqara app

[@TyDaSpace]

Did you generate a new QR code within the aqara app ? You can’t use the QR code in the body of the M3 to connect to the SmartThings
