Functionalities: Unified Control and Enhanced Security

The Aqara Hub M2 excels as a comprehensive control center, offering multi-faceted capabilities for automation, security, and device management.

• Extensive Zigbee Connectivity: Utilizing the latest Zigbee 3.0 protocol, the hub ensures fast, stable, and energy-efficient communication. It can connect up to 128 Aqara Zigbee child devices (with the use of repeater devices like smart plugs or wired wall switches), creating a vast and reliable mesh network throughout your home.

• Universal Platform Bridge: The M2 acts as a crucial bridge, exposing connected Aqara devices to a wide array of top smart home ecosystems and voice assistants. It supports seamless integration with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and IFTTT, allowing users to manage their entire home using their preferred platform or voice command.

• 360° Infrared (IR) Control: A key differentiator, the built-in 360∘ IR transmitter allows the M2 to control existing, non-smart appliances that use an IR remote, such as air conditioners, TVs, and set-top boxes. These traditional devices can then be integrated into smart automations and controlled via voice commands or the Aqara Home app.

• Comprehensive Security and Alert System: The hub features a built-in speaker that is configurable for various uses. It functions as a core component of your security setup by delivering security alerts and customizable sirens when sensors are triggered. It can also be configured as a doorbell chime or an alarm clock.

• Enhanced Network Stability: Offering flexible installation options, the M2 includes an Ethernet RJ-45 port, which provides a wired connection for maximum stability and lower latency, essential for mission-critical automations. It also features Dual Wi-Fi Antenna for robust wireless performance.

• Flexible Power Options: The hub is powered via a Micro-USB port ($5\text{V}1\text{A}$ or $5\text{V}2\text{A}$), offering flexible placement and the option for battery backup using a standard power bank (not included) to ensure continuous operation during power outages.
