Matter Controller and Thread Border Router Aqara Hub M200 15 The M200 is one of the few hubs that can act as a full Matter Controller — meaning it holds the smart-home credentials and runs Matter automations directly, with support for over 50 Matter device types. You don’t need an Apple TV, HomePod, or Google Nest to act as the controller; the M200 takes that role natively. Thread Border Router — extends Thread mesh to your home The M200 is also a Thread Border Router and Thread mesh extender. It bridges Matter-over-Thread accessories from any brand into your Wi-Fi or Ethernet network. If you have multiple Thread Border Routers in your home (e.g. an Apple TV plus the M200), they automatically mesh together for redundancy and range. Aqara Advanced Matter Bridging — Zigbee devices exposed to other ecosystems The M200 functions as both an Aqara Zigbee hub and a Matter Bridge. It connects Aqara Zigbee devices to major Matter ecosystems including Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, Home Assistant, and Homey. Aqara’s Advanced Matter Bridging preserves Aqara-specific features (not just on/off) when devices are bridged to third-party ecosystems. Apple Home pairing — HomeKit QR vs Matter QR (important) The M200 supports two ways to connect to Apple Home: HomeKit QR code AND Matter QR code. Aqara recommends prioritising the Matter QR code when adding the M200 to Apple Home — and here’s why this matters before you set up: Don’t pair via both QR codes simultaneously. If you use both, the M200’s sub-devices show up duplicated in Apple Home. Air Conditioner Mode requires Matter pairing. The M200’s IR-driven Air Conditioner control function (treats your AC as a Matter thermostat) is only available when paired via Matter QR code. HomeKit-QR pairing doesn’t support it. Security function is Matter-only. Access via Matter currently does not support the security function in HomeKit pairing mode. Remote control requires an Apple Home hub. To remotely control the M200 and its child devices through Apple Home, you’ll need a HomePod or Apple TV (tvOS 11 ) set as a home hub on your network. The short version: when adding the M200 to Apple Home, scan the Matter QR code (not the HomeKit one) to get the full feature surface. Cross-ecosystem support — Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings, Home Assistant Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, Home Assistant, and Homey all see the M200 and the Aqara Zigbee accessories paired through it. Pairing in each ecosystem uses the M200’s Matter QR code: Home Assistant: Settings → Devices & services → Add integration → Add Matter device → Scan QR code, then scan the M200’s Matter QR code (found in the hub manual or in the Aqara Home app under Settings → Device page → Expose to Matter). Google Home / Amazon Alexa / SmartThings: use each platform’s standard “Add Matter device” flow with the M200’s Matter QR code. Aqara Home (native): the M200 pairs natively via Bluetooth in the Aqara Home app — full Aqara feature set including Aqara-specific automations and child-device settings. Aqara Zigbee bridge — 40 40 child device capacity Aqara’s lab testing confirms the M200 maintains a high success rate of automated execution at 40 Zigbee 40 Thread child devices connected simultaneously. That’s 80 total Aqara child devices on a single hub. Pairs Aqara Zigbee devices directly Aqara sensors (FP300 mmWave presence, T1 temperature humidity, W100 climate sensor, P2 door/window), smart locks (U200 Lite Kit, U300), switches (Light Switch H2 EU, Dimmer Switch H2 EU, H1 Pro line), curtain controllers (C3), and Aqara ceiling lights all pair directly to the M200 over Zigbee. No separate hub required. Aqara-Zigbee only — not third-party Zigbee The M200’s Zigbee hub function supports Aqara Zigbee devices exclusively. Third-party Zigbee devices from other manufacturers do not pair to the M200 — those need their own brand’s hub or a generic Zigbee coordinator like Home Assistant’s ZHA / zigbee2mqtt running on separate hardware. Adding Zigbee child devices Zigbee child devices are added through the Aqara Home app via the M200. Select the M200 to bind to when prompted. To move a Zigbee device to a different Aqara hub later, first remove it from Aqara Home, then re-add and pick the new hub. The list of bound Zigbee child devices is viewable under the Aqara Hub M200 → Child devices page in Aqara Home. Built-in 360° IR remote — replace your AC, TV, and fan remotes Aqara Hub M200 16 The M200 has a 360° IR blaster built in at 38 kHz. Point your existing TV, air-conditioner, ceiling-fan, and audio remotes at the M200 once during setup — Aqara Home learns the IR codes. From then on, the M200 emits IR commands on demand via the Aqara Home app, Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or Samsung SmartThings voice control, or via automation triggers. Air-conditioner control as a Matter thermostat The M200 can bridge one IR-controlled air-conditioner to Matter as a thermostat-style device when paired with an Aqara Climate Sensor. Set temperature, mode (cool / dry / fan), fan speed, and on/off via the Aqara Home app or any Matter-compatible ecosystem. For multiple AC units, use Advanced Matter Bridging instead of the single AC-mode bridge. TV, audio, and ceiling-fan control The IR blaster also handles TV power and volume, audio source selection, and ceiling fans with IR remotes (most KDK and Bestar IR-controlled fans). Replace a stack of remotes with one voice command. IR remote learning status sync The M200 supports IR learning: place your existing remote 1–2 metres from the M200 during the learning step. The M200 can also detect when your existing physical remote is used and sync the appliance’s status back to the app — so the Aqara Home state stays accurate even after a manual remote press. IR range and line-of-sight Aqara recommends a maximum IR-control distance of 20 metres between the M200 and the controlled appliance, with as few obstacles as possible. In complex spaces, IR signal can lose range to refraction. Plan placement with line-of-sight to your AC and TV. 90 dB built-in speaker The M200 has a 90 dB speaker measured at 10 cm. It handles doorbell alerts, alarm clock chimes, security alerts, and custom audio recordings that you upload to the hub via Aqara Home. No separate smart speaker required for hub-level audio feedback. Automations 2.0 — local WHEN-IF-THEN engine Aqara Automations, recently upgraded to Automations 2.0, follow WHEN-IF-THEN logic. Automations that previously required cloud round-trips now run locally on the hub — faster execution, no cloud dependency for routine triggers, and continued operation when the internet is down (within the hub-and-device-execution scope). Manually executed scenes still cloud-route. Automatically executed scenes can be configured as cloud-executed or local-executed via the “More Settings” section per smart scene. If your router loses external internet but the M200 child devices stay communicating locally, locally-executed automations keep running. Ark Technology 2.0 — distributed disaster recovery Ark Technology is Aqara’s distributed multi-layered local disaster-recovery system. Currently at version 2.0, it covers: Local Hub automation capabilities — automations execute on the hub without needing the cloud Central Hub local automation — multi-hub setups coordinate locally Multiple Hub backup switching — if one hub fails, others pick up Proxy Hub disaster recovery — qualifying Aqara Zigbee Router devices can act as proxy hubs and run basic automation when the primary hub is offline Proxy-hub disaster recovery currently supports basic automations only (turn on / turn off / single-button press) and requires up-to-date firmware on the proxy device. Complex multi-step automations may not survive primary-hub failure. Useful for a few mission-critical scenes (e.g. emergency lights on when a door sensor triggers), not as a complete redundancy replacement. Hub migration — M200 ↔ M100 / M3 Aqara supports replacing the Hub M200 with another M200 or with the Hub M100; and replacing the M200 with the Hub M3. Useful for upgrading or moving to a different hub class without re-pairing every child device manually. More migration paths are added over time. Security — Accidental Removal Protection WPA3 Accidental Removal Protection Toggle this in the M200’s device settings within Aqara Home. With Accidental Removal Protection enabled, the M200’s function button cannot factory-reset the device — a long-press won’t trigger the network reset and offline cascade. Removing the M200 from the network requires the app instead, preventing accidental wipes from button presses. No QR scan required for hub binding Unlike the Hub M3 (which is classified as a security device and requires QR-code scanning to bind), the M200 does not have eMMC storage and is not defined as a security device. You can bind the M200 to your Aqara Home account without scanning the device QR code. Wi-Fi 6 with WPA3 encryption Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 GHz 5 GHz) with WPA3 security. Use WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode if you have older devices on your network that don’t support WPA3 yet. Power options — USB-C or PoE USB-C — 5 V / 2 A The M200 ships with a USB-A to USB-C cable. You supply a standard 5V/2A USB-C adaptor compatible with Singapore mains (220-240 VAC, 50 Hz). USB-C is the simpler power option for desktop placement near a power socket. PoE — 48 V / 0.25 A via RJ45 The M200 has an RJ45 port supporting Power-over-Ethernet at 48V/0.25A. Power and Ethernet flow through a single CAT5e/6 cable from a PoE switch. PoE eliminates the need for a separate USB power adapter and gives you wired-Ethernet stability — useful for fixed installations in HDB ceiling-mounted smart-home boxes, condo wiring closets, or false ceilings where a power outlet isn’t conveniently nearby. Singapore HDB / condo PoE setup notes If you’re renovating, ask your contractor to run CAT5e or CAT6 from your network closet to the planned hub location during the wiring stage. A PoE switch or PoE injector (not included) supplies power; the M200 sits at the cable end. This is the most stable cleanest install pattern for a long-term smart-home setup. Wi-Fi 6 connectivity The M200 supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz dual-band. Most modern Singapore home routers from Singtel, StarHub, and M1 support Wi-Fi 6 out of the box. WPA3 is supported; for compatibility with older devices on your network, use WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode. If you experience Wi-Fi connection failures during setup: keep your phone close to the M200 during pairing (LED should blink yellow); if your router has a “Disable mDNS to wireless clients” setting, disable it; try another Wi-Fi network or a phone hotspot to rule out weak signal; reboot your phone if multiple attempts fail. Installation and placement in Singapore homes Aqara Hub M200 17 Indoor placement The M200 is an indoor hub. No IP rating — designed for indoor environments only. Operating temperature −10°C to 50°C, operating humidity 0–95% RH non-condensing. Suitable for HDB, condo, EC, and landed-property installs. Mounting options The M200 supports flat-surface placement, wall mounting, and ceiling mounting. Wall and ceiling mounting use a bracket with ¼-inch nut holes (bracket sold separately). The M200 itself is a small disc — ⌀100.5 × 30.75 mm — about the size of a small hockey puck. Where to place it Aqara’s placement recommendations: Install at the centre of the area where your sub-devices are located — keeps Zigbee/Thread mesh stable across the home 2–6 metres in a straight line from your router — best Wi-Fi connectivity Sub-devices should be no more than 10 metres from the hub, with no more than two concrete walls in between For IR control, place with line-of-sight to your AC unit, TV, or ceiling fan — IR signal is line-of-sight at up to 20 metres If sub-devices keep going offline If a sub-device repeatedly drops off the M200’s Zigbee mesh, common causes are: the device is too far from the hub or has a metal obstruction in the signal path (move closer, avoid metal), or the sub-device battery is depleted (replace battery). Keep firmware up to date on both the M200 and child devices for best stability. Specifications Product nameAqara Hub M200 Dimensions⌀100.5 × 30.75 mm (⌀3.96 × 1.21 in.)

Frequently asked questions Does the M200 work with Singapore home Wi-Fi? Yes. The M200 supports dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, with WPA3 security. Most modern Singapore home routers from Singtel, StarHub, and M1 are Wi-Fi 6 compatible. Use WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode if you have older devices on your network. If setup fails: keep your phone close to the M200 during pairing (LED should blink yellow), disable any “Disable mDNS to wireless clients” router setting, or try a phone hotspot to rule out weak signal. What’s the difference between the M200 and the Aqara Hub M3? Both the M200 and the Aqara Hub M3 are current Matter Controller Thread Border Router Aqara Zigbee hubs. Differences: the M3 has eMMC storage and is defined as a security device (requires QR-code scanning to bind to Aqara Home), while the M200 has no eMMC and a simpler binding flow. The M3 is a larger device positioned at the home-security-system end of the lineup; the M200 is a more compact disc with a built-in 90 dB speaker, 360° IR remote, and PoE support. If you need a security-focused central hub with eMMC, pick the M3. If you want a versatile Matter Controller with PoE option IR remote speaker in a smaller form factor, pick the M200. Aqara supports migrating the M200 to be replaced by the M3 later if you upgrade. Which Aqara devices can I pair with the M200? The M200 supports all Aqara Zigbee 3.0 devices — sensors (FP300, T1, W100, P2, water-leak sensors), smart locks (U200 Lite Kit, U300), switches (Light Switch H2 EU, Dimmer Switch H2 EU, H1 Pro line), curtain controllers (C3), Aqara ceiling lights, and more. Plus all Matter-over-Thread accessories from any brand via the M200’s Thread Border Router. Aqara lab testing confirms stable operation at 40 Zigbee 40 Thread child devices simultaneously. Note: the M200’s Zigbee hub function supports Aqara Zigbee devices only — third-party Zigbee devices from other manufacturers do not pair to it. HomeKit QR code vs Matter QR code — which should I use to pair the M200 to Apple Home? Use the Matter QR code. Aqara explicitly recommends prioritising Matter QR pairing for Apple Home. Three reasons: (1) if you scan both QR codes, the M200’s sub-devices show up duplicated in Apple Home. (2) The M200’s Air Conditioner Mode (treating your IR-controlled AC as a Matter thermostat) is only available via Matter pairing — HomeKit pairing doesn’t support it. (3) Access via Matter currently does not support the security function in HomeKit-pairing mode. To remotely control the M200 outside your home Wi-Fi, you’ll also need an Apple Home hub (HomePod or Apple TV with tvOS 11 ) set as the home hub on your network. Does it work with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings, and Home Assistant? Yes — all five, plus Homey. The M200 exposes itself and the Aqara Zigbee children paired through it via Advanced Matter Bridging. Pairing in each ecosystem uses the M200’s Matter QR code (found in the hub manual or in the Aqara Home app under Settings → Device page → Expose to Matter). For Home Assistant specifically: Settings → Devices & services → Add integration → Add Matter device → Scan QR code → scan the M200’s Matter QR code. Aqara’s Advanced Matter Bridging exposes Aqara-specific features (not just on/off) to third-party ecosystems. PoE or USB-C — which power option should I pick? PoE delivers power and Ethernet over a single CAT5e/6 cable from a PoE switch (48V/0.25A), eliminating the need for a separate USB-C adaptor and giving you wired-Ethernet stability. PoE is the cleanest option for fixed installations in HDB ceiling-mounted smart-home boxes, condo wiring closets, or false-ceiling installs where a power outlet isn’t conveniently nearby. USB-C (5V/2A) is fine for desktop placement near a power socket — bring your own USB-C adaptor. The included cable is USB-A to USB-C; the M200 does not include a power adapter. Does the IR remote actually replace my AC and TV remotes? For most modern IR-controlled remotes, yes. Point each existing remote at the M200 once during setup (recommended distance 1–2 m for IR learning); the M200 learns the codes. After that, the M200 emits IR commands on demand via app, voice (Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings), or automation. The M200 can also detect when your physical remote is used and sync the appliance’s status back to the app. Maximum IR-control distance is 20 metres line-of-sight; obstacles and reflective surfaces reduce effective range. For multi-room IR control, use multiple hubs or use Advanced Matter Bridging instead of the single AC-mode bridge. How far can sub-devices be from the M200? Does signal go through walls? Aqara recommends sub-devices stay within 10 metres of the M200, with no more than two concrete walls in between, for stable Zigbee/Thread connectivity. Distance can vary depending on indoor environment — metal obstructions are particularly disruptive. If a sub-device drops offline repeatedly, common fixes are: move it closer, avoid metal obstructions in the signal path, or replace its battery if depleted. For coverage beyond 10 m, add a second hub at the far end of the home — Aqara’s multi-hub setups coordinate locally via Ark Technology 2.0. How do I install the M200 — desktop, wall, or ceiling? The M200 supports all three. Flat-surface (desktop) placement just needs a 220-240 VAC outlet for the USB-C adaptor — no mounting hardware needed. Wall and ceiling mounting use a standard ¼-inch threaded bracket (sold separately — not included with the M200). Aqara recommends placement at the centre of the area where sub-devices are located, 2–6 metres in a straight line from your router for best Wi-Fi, and with line-of-sight to the IR-controlled appliances (AC, TV, fan) if you’re using the IR remote function. Can I migrate from an existing Aqara hub to the M200? Yes — Aqara supports M200 ↔ M100 migration both ways, and migrating from the M200 to the Hub M3 if you upgrade later. The migration tool reduces the need to re-pair every Zigbee child device manually after a hub swap. Migration paths from more types of gateways may be added in future firmware updates. What is Accidental Removal Protection? A device-level setting in Aqara Home that prevents the M200’s function button from triggering a factory reset by accidental long-press. With Accidental Removal Protection enabled, removing the M200 from your account must be done through the app — protecting against unintentional network resets that would offline all paired child devices. Toggle this on under the M200’s device settings in Aqara Home once your hub is set up. Are sub-device automations affected when my internet goes down? Some are, some aren’t. Aqara’s Automations 2.0 distinguishes cloud-executed from local-executed automations. Local-executed automations run entirely on the M200 and your child devices — they continue working when the router loses external internet, as long as the hub and child devices stay communicating locally. Cloud-executed automations need cloud round-trips and won’t fire during an internet outage. You can configure each automation as cloud or local under the “More Settings” section of the smart scene in Aqara Home. Manually executed scenes are always cloud-routed. Can I install the M200 myself? Yes — the M200 is plug-and-play and doesn’t require licensed electrical work. Connect USB-C or PoE, open the Aqara Home app, and add the device. Wall or ceiling mounting uses a ¼-inch threaded bracket (sold separately) — straightforward DIY for most users. For PoE installs that involve running new CAT5e/6 cable through walls or ceilings, engage your renovation contractor’s network installer during the wiring stage. Is there a local warranty? Yes. Aqara provides a 24-month manufacturer warranty on all products sold here. For warranty claims, bring the unit to the Aqara Service Center at Tai Seng — Singapore’s official Aqara service location.
