The hub works with popular smart home ecosystems, including Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Home Assistant. The integrated USB Type-A connector and its 210° angle adjustment allow for convenient installation.
Aqara Hub M100 - ZigBee / Thread / Matter / WiFi gateway - USB interface.
The Aqara Hub M100 enables the integration of ZigBee and Thread devices and offers support for Matter ecosystems.
Main features of the Aqara M100 gateway
- ZigBee and Thread support : ability to integrate compatible devices using popular Smart Home communication protocols
- Matter Controller : Ability to manage compatible Matter devices from Aqara and other manufacturers
- Matter Bridge : Bridge function that allows you to integrate compatible Aqara devices with ecosystems using the Matter standard
- Thread Border Router : connecting devices running on the Thread network with the rest of the smart home infrastructure
- Mesh Extender : Ability to participate in the Thread mesh network to increase its range and stability
- Local automation : Execute supported automation scenarios on your local network without the need for constant internet access
- WiFi 6 2.4 GHz : IEEE 802.11 b/g/n/ax standard communication ensuring a modern connection to a wireless network
- WPA3 : support for the modern wireless security standard
- Bluetooth 5.2 : an additional wireless interface used, among other things, during device configuration
- USB Type-A : conveniently powers the hub from a compatible USB port
- 210° adjustment : the movable design of the connector allows you to adjust the position of the hub to the installation location

ZigBee and offline mode in Aqara Hub M100
The Aqara Hub M100 supports ZigBee IEEE 802.15.4 , making it a central communication element for compatible Aqara devices. ZigBee technology is designed for energy-efficient communication between smart home devices such as sensors, switches, and automation components. The M100 supports up to 20 ZigBee devices . Additionally, it can work with up to 20 Thread devices, creating a compact hub for smaller and medium-sized smart home installations. A key feature of the Aqara Hub M100 is support for local automation . Compatible rules for ZigBee and Matter devices can be executed within the local network, so their operation does not need to be dependent on a constant connection to the internet or cloud servers. This allows for increased responsiveness and reliability of basic automation scenarios. However, it's important to note that not all functions work completely offline – services that require communication with the cloud, such as some remote notifications, still require internet access.
The Aqara M100 gateway supports WiFi 6, which makes operation smooth even with multiple connected devices.
