Why can you only add Aqara Zigbee devices? Other hubs like the Homey Pro allow you to add Zigbee devices from any manufacturer. I hope you will open this up like you have done with Matter recently. This product has the potential to be the only hub you need but no third-party Zigbee support is a deal breaker for me.

Hey aqara there is a bunch of people that are having problems with the M3 hub and have questions you should put a Representative online and live on RUclips. To answer some questions that us. Customers may have for you that when you ask me. You're gonna have much more better customers that want to buy your stuff

@Aqara, Could you provide a list of third-party devices or manufacturers that are compatible with this hub? I need some 3-way switches, in-wall US plugs which you currently do not have, I prefer the Aqara eco-system, and would prefer to use your app, but since you do not have these types of devices I need to go 3rd party.

my m3 hub does not work with PoE. Does it require additional settings ?

Hmm... please email us for help! [e-mail]
