Works great for simple automation tasks. I have some door sensors from the same brand, and I was able to integrate the sensors with Google Home after some research. Now I can execute automation on my Google Home based on the sensor's output.

Got this to enable me to install cost effective door sensors within my existing home setup (mixed HomeKit and Home Assistant). The setup was a little clunky but once it was setup (using the Aqara app), everything works flawlessly. It can be added to both your existing HomeKit and Home Assistant setups at the same time. Because it's a hub, any devices (additional sensors) you add to it will automatically appear in your HomeKit / Home Assistant instances. It's Matter compatible so responses from the sensors are super quick. It has a quirky voice feedback thing going on via the speak every time you add/delete a sensor, but you can turn that right down. Looks smart on the desktop. Bit of a dust magnet (minor point, obviously).

The Aqara Smart Hub M2 has exceeded my expectations in every way. As a central component of my smart home setup, it seamlessly integrates with home assistant makes my setup easier.Setting up the hub was straightforward, requiring only a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection, it serves as a robust bridge for my alarm system, IR remote control, and home automation needs.The hub's compatibility with Aqara devices and third-party smart home products makes it a versatile choice for expanding my smart home ecosystem. I appreciate its reliable performance and the convenience it adds to my daily routine.Overall, the Aqara Smart Hub M2 is a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their home with smart technology. It delivers on its promises of functionality, ease of use, and broad compatibility with popular smart assistants.

Been working on my smart home ever since the first echo dot was released. I wish I knew about Aqara sooner. As I’m now slowly changing each device over to theirs for the following reasons: easy set up, integration, ease of use and they just work. They do exactly what they are designed to do and the additional functionality of this hub being an ir blaster means I can also use it to control anything that uses a remote that does not have smart features built in. If you share starting out on your smart home journey. Do yourself a favour, save money in the long run and use Aqara. You won’t be disappointed
