FAQs

What protocols does the Aqara Hub M100 support?

The Hub M100 supports Zigbee 3.0, Thread, Wi-Fi 6 (2.4GHz), and BLE 5.2. It also functions as a Matter Bridge and Controller, and a Thread Border Router.

How is the Hub M100 powered?

It is powered via a universal USB-A interface. You can use a standard USB power adapter, power bank, or any device with a USB-A port that provides 5V/0.5A output.

Can I use the Hub M100 without an internet connection?

Yes, many automations configured on the Hub M100 can run locally, meaning they will continue to function even if your internet connection is temporarily lost.

Is the Hub M100 compatible with Apple HomeKit?

Yes, the Hub M100 acts as a Matter bridge, allowing it to integrate Aqara and other Matter-compatible devices into Apple HomeKit.

What is the advantage of Wi-Fi 6 on this hub?

Wi-Fi 6 provides faster speeds and better performance, especially when connecting multiple devices to your network, ensuring a more stable and responsive smart home experience.

Does the Hub M100 come with a power adapter?

The Hub M100 includes a User Manual but does not typically come with a separate power adapter. It is designed to be powered by an existing USB power source.

Can the Hub M100 extend my Wi-Fi network?

The Hub M100 connects to your existing Wi-Fi network for its own operation and to bridge devices. It does not function as a Wi-Fi extender or repeater for general internet traffic.

Troubleshooting

Hub M100 is not connecting to Wi-Fi.

Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz enabled and WPA3 security is configured appropriately. Check that the Wi-Fi password entered is correct and that the hub is within range of your router. Restart both the hub and your router.

Connected devices are unresponsive.

Check the status of the Hub M100 in the Aqara Home app. Ensure it is online and connected to your Wi-Fi. Verify that the individual device is within the hub's communication range. For Zigbee or Thread devices, check for signal strength issues and consider repositioning the hub or adding a repeater if necessary.

Automations are not running as expected.

Review the automation logic within the Aqara Home app. Ensure all conditions and actions are correctly set. If the automation relies on cloud services, check your internet connection. If it's a local automation, ensure the hub is online and the devices involved are responsive.

Cannot add a new device to the hub.

Make sure the new device is in pairing mode (refer to the device's manual). Ensure the device is compatible with the hub's protocols (Zigbee, Thread, or Matter). Try moving the new device closer to the hub during the pairing process.
