Pros and cons
Drawn from the published specifications and what else you have to buy. Not a lab score.
Pros
- • PoE or USB power, plus Ethernet-class reliability if you use the PoE input.
- • One box is a Zigbee hub, Thread border router, and Matter controller.
- • Listed for Apple, Alexa, Google, and SmartThings, so it is not locked to one phone brand.
Cons
- • You still set it up in the Aqara app.
- • Advanced Aqara features are not the same thing as the Matter entities other apps see.
- • It is a hub only. It does not route the home’s Wi-Fi.
Compare inside Hubs
A router can be compared with another router. It cannot be compared with a lock, a bulb, or a speaker.
