Most Aqara devices are Zigbee and are normally paired to an Aqara hub, which runs the Aqara Home app and can run automations locally. The Hub M3 also acts as a Matter bridge and controller, so the same devices can be shared with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Homey. Some newer devices speak Matter directly, and Zigbee devices can also be paired to a third-party Zigbee dongle instead of an Aqara hub.
That suits people who want a large range of low-cost sensors and switches and want to choose the ecosystem later. It is less simple if you want one app with no hub: older Zigbee devices need a hub or a dongle, push notifications still depend on the internet, and Matter features vary by device and by the platform you use.

The main app. Remote control, rooms and homes, sensor monitoring, scenes and automations, and Siri control of HomeKit-supported accessories. The store listings do not mention Matter, Alexa or Google Home, so those are set up elsewhere. Published by Shenzhen Aqara Software Service. We found no other official Aqara app, though Google Play's developer page may have loaded only partly.

| Platform | Status | What it means | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connection | |||
| Zigbee | Yes | Most Aqara devices use Zigbee. The Hub M3 is listed with Zigbee 3.0 and up to 127 Thread and Zigbee devices. Homey's listing for Aqara shows most supported devices as Zigbee. | Aqara Hub M3 (EU store) Aqara app on Homey |
| Thread | Yes | The Hub M3 acts as a Thread border router. Aqara says its Smart Lock U200 supports Matter over Thread. Aqara describes Thread as a self-healing mesh and says some automations can keep running without Wi-Fi. | CEPro on the Hub M3 Aqara on Matter and Thread |
| Matter | Yes | The Hub M3 is both a Matter controller and a Matter bridge. As a controller it brings third-party Matter devices into the Aqara Home app. As a bridge it exposes Aqara Zigbee devices to other Matter platforms. Aqara also names the Hub M200 and M100 as controller and bridge, the Camera Hub G5 Pro as a Zigbee-to-Matter bridge, and the Door and Window Sensor P2 as native Matter. Support differs by device. The Camera Hub G2H Pro page does not list Matter for that camera. | Aqara Developer docs: Hub M3 Aqara on Matter and Thread Camera Hub G2H Pro |
| Wi-Fi | Yes | The Hub M3 is described as dual-band 2.4 and 5 GHz and also offers Power over Ethernet. Camera hubs also connect to the network, though we did not confirm which other Aqara devices use Wi-Fi. | CEPro on the Hub M3 |
| Bluetooth | Not mentioned | CEPro reports that the Hub M3 adds Bluetooth. The Aqara pages we read do not say what Bluetooth is used for. | CEPro on the Hub M3 |
| Z-Wave | Not mentioned | Not mentioned on the Aqara pages we read. | Aqara Hub M3 (EU store) |

| Google Home | Official | Aqara's developer docs say the Hub M3 bridges Aqara Zigbee devices to Google Home through Matter, and Aqara's store page lists Google Home as compatible. The Camera Hub G2H Pro page says that camera works with Google Assistant. Aqara also used Google's Home APIs so the Aqara Home automation builder can include devices linked from a Google account. | Aqara Developer docs: Hub M3 Aqara Hub M3 (EU store) Google Home APIs case study |
| Amazon Alexa | Official | Aqara's store page lists Alexa as compatible, and its developer docs list Alexa as a Matter bridge target for the Hub M3. The Camera Hub G2H Pro page says it works with Alexa and can show video on compatible Amazon displays. We could not open Aqara's own Alexa setup page, so the supported device range is unconfirmed. | Aqara Hub M3 (EU store) Aqara Developer docs: Hub M3 Camera Hub G2H Pro Alexa Skills store |
| Apple Home | Official | The Aqara Home App Store listing describes Siri control of HomeKit-supported accessories. The Hub M3 has a HomeKit bridge mode and a Matter bridge. The Camera Hub G2H Pro page lists HomeKit Secure Video, which needs an iCloud plan and an Apple home hub. | Aqara Home on the App Store Aqara Developer docs: Hub M3 Camera Hub G2H Pro Apple Home accessories list |
| Samsung SmartThings | Official | A 2022 press release says Aqara joined Samsung's Works with SmartThings programme, with over 20 Zigbee devices expected to be certified. Aqara's store page and developer docs list SmartThings for the Hub M3 as a Matter bridge. A SmartThings forum reply says Matter devices need a SmartThings or Aeotec hub, which is a user statement, not an official one. | Aqara and SmartThings press release Aqara Developer docs: Hub M3 SmartThings community thread |
| Open platforms and developer access | |||
| Home Assistant | Official | Home Assistant has an Aqara page for Aqara Matter products. It says they work locally through the Matter integration and lists the Hub M3, locks, bulbs, sensors and switches. Its IoT class is Local Push. Aqara's developer docs also name Home Assistant as a Hub M3 Matter bridge target. | Home Assistant Aqara integration Aqara Developer docs: Hub M3 |
| Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA | Community | Aqara Zigbee devices can be paired to a Zigbee dongle running ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT instead of an Aqara hub. Home Assistant's ZHA page warns that Xiaomi and Aqara devices can be awkward to pair and may not work with some routers. Forum users report that newer dual-protocol devices need the Aqara app once to switch from Matter to Zigbee. | Home Assistant ZHA Zigbee2MQTT Home Assistant forum thread |
| Homey | Official | A Homey app for Aqara is listed as official and published by Lumi Technology. It covers lights, switches, covers, thermostats, sensors and remotes, mostly Zigbee, plus 11 Matter devices. The listing marks every device as Homey Bridge required, including on Homey Pro, and we could not resolve whether that applies to all Homey models. Aqara's developer docs also list Homey as a Hub M3 bridge target. | Aqara app on Homey Homey app page (UK) |
| openHAB | Community | openHAB's Xiaomi Mi Smart Home binding supports Aqara sensors, switches, locks and more through a Xiaomi gateway v2 or v3 in developer mode. The page warns that developer mode may no longer be available and suggests Zigbee2MQTT as an alternative. We did not confirm a binding that talks to the Aqara M2 or M3 hubs. | openHAB Xiaomi Mi Smart Home binding |
| Node-RED | Community | No Aqara-specific official node. A community node connects Node-RED to Zigbee2MQTT, but its page does not mention Aqara. | node-red-contrib-zigbee2mqtt |
| Hubitat | Yes | A Hubitat forum thread quotes the 2.3.9 release notes (October 2024) as adding native support for several Aqara Zigbee devices and for the Hub M3 through the Generic Matter Bridge driver. Community drivers existed before that. We could not open Hubitat's own release notes. | Hubitat forum thread |
| Domoticz | Community | The ZigBeeForDomoticZ plugin wiki has an Aqara page with setup tips for Opple remotes and the FP1 presence sensor. The page does not name a maintainer and the plugin is not an Aqara product. | ZigBeeForDomoticZ Aqara corner |
| Control4 | Not found | No Aqara driver found when we searched. One Control4 forum reply says an Aqara lock can only be integrated through another platform such as Home Assistant. | Control4 forum thread |
| Philips Hue | Not mentioned | No direct integration found. IFTTT offers Aqara-to-Hue automations, for example Aqara sensors triggering Hue lights. Aqara triggers are polled, every hour on IFTTT's free plan. | IFTTT Aqara Home and Philips Hue |
| IFTTT | Yes | IFTTT lists an Aqara Home for US service with triggers such as motion, door and window, leak and button events, and actions such as lights, plugs, curtains and locks. EU and RU variants of the service appear in IFTTT URLs. We did not confirm who publishes the service. | IFTTT Aqara Home and SmartThings |
| Aqara Open Platform (cloud API) | Official | Aqara runs a developer platform with HTTP cloud APIs to read status, control devices and configure linkages, plus a message push service, app SDKs and Aqara Studio. An Aqara-authored Python SDK on PyPI wraps the Open API (version 1.0.8 is dated August 2022). We found no local or LAN API described, and we could not confirm the registration requirements. | Aqara Developer Platform aqara-iot-py-sdk on PyPI |
