Ever Trend Zone In January, in CES 2025, Aqara released an avalanche of new devices, with the tastes of the Hub S1 panel and the presence of multiple FP300 that the majority of the headlines stole.
However, it is the Aqara Hub M100 that can be the greatest success of the launch bonanza of the CES, since it offers an incredibly friendly form for the wallet, less than $ 20, to jump aboard the movement of the smart house.
In addition, it is not just a bridge of matter for AQARA brand devices, it also has subprocess edge routing capabilities, such as the flags aqara hub M3.
That means that you can also control the subprocess devices that are not from Aqara; Think of Nanoleof’s smart lights and smart locks such as the Kwikset Halo Select, and also acts as a thread extensor to increase the mesh network.
Aqara tells us that the M100 can connect up to 20 Zigbee devices and 20 subprocess devices at the same time.
Obviously, Zigbee is not part of the standard of matter, so, in that front, he would act as a bridge of the matter to allow him to control his ‘children’ devices within an intelligent domestic system, whether use Alexa, Google Home, Homekit, Homey, Smartthings or Origin Assistant.
You can, if you wish, ignore matter completely and simply use the M100 as a dedicated Aqara center to control or also expand an intelligent domestic system AQARA.
However, if you did, some ingenious bells and whistles will be lost, since the M100 also gives you access to the recently announced advanced advanced advance bridge of Aqara.
Originally introduced into the M3, it allows you to transfer automation and triggers from your AQARA system, to other matter platforms.
You can create a virtual switch to start a robot vacuum cleaner and have it as part of a routine in a Google Home Matter configuration, for example, or having a person recognition of the taste of the Hub Camera G5 Pro Act Act AA Trigger for actions in a homekit system.
Looking very similar to Aqara Hub E1 that was launched in 2021, the M100 is a USB engine controller that simply connects to a regular USB-A port (minimum 5V, 0.5a) to turn on.
There are only 2.4Ghz, and there are no skills to go or computer skills such as M3, but it is less than 20% of the best of the best dog in Aqara, so some commitments are expected.
At $ 19.99 in the United States and £ 19.99 in the United Kingdom, it is a very attractive option for anyone who wants to build an intelligent expansion domestic system. You can get it directly from Aqara or Amazon.
In addition to M100, Aqara has also removed the covers of the W100 climate sensor.
With a 3.4 -inch screen on board, you can see things such as temperature and humidity readings, and the user there are three buttons available for HVAC control tastes or scene activation.
The W100 is a native matter device with incorporated thread and zigbee.
It is $ 39.99 / £ 39.99 and is available directly from Aqara, or Amazon now.
Aqara’s latest news to bring him is the launch of the Protect Kit Y100 camera, which includes the G3 camera, the door and window sensor, the P1 movement sensor and the T1 vibration sensor.
It is $ 139.99 / £ 139.99 and, like the two new previous releases, it is available directly or at Amazon.
