  M3 is coming out early 2024

  Aqara anticipates introducing the Company’s first Thread Border Router, the Hub M3, in early 2024 along with an update of Aqara Home app to support Matter. The M3 hub will be able to not only connect and control Aqara’s own Zigbee and Thread devices, but it can also control third-party Thread products.

    I did wonder if it was going to be superseded soon… do you think its worth waiting for that one instead?

      I would say wait to people who wants to upgrade existing Aqara hub. New hub is much better as in compatibility and about new technologies.

      New starters, I would go for M2.

        Cheers, won't cancel my order then. I will probably get a new AppleTV as a thread border router anyway, but just need something to get some aqara/zigbee devices connected, so this should do fine..

  If you add another aqara hub to an old aqara hub network. Do the child devices auto-sync across all of them, like how apple tvs work? Or do we need to remove devices from old hub and it to new hub?

    Are you trying to use a second hub to boot signal?

    Base on my knowledge on zigbee2mqtt(z2m), for your use case the "new" hub need to be in "router" mode.
    In z2m we need to flash a "router" firmware in order to achieve that, but Idk how does that work in aqara eco system.

    Or you can just add some devices that run on main power (eg a downlight https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/JWDL001A.html) to your network, typically these devices work as "router" out of box in you network and boot the signal

      Thanks for replying. It’s more in terms of replacing the hub. If old hub breaks can I just add the new hub w/o re-pairing the child devices?
