Aqara Smart Hub M200 arrives: compact Matter, Thread and Zigbee support

Aqara today expanded its smart‑home lineup with the new Smart Hub M200 and a freshly announced radiator thermostat. The M200 is described as the smaller sibling of the existing Hub M3 and adds native support for Matter, Thread and Zigbee — making it a versatile bridge for a wide range of smart devices.

The company positions the M200 as a compact, all‑purpose hub suitable for users who want a smaller footprint while retaining cross‑platform compatibility. Built‑in support for Matter and Thread means the hub can integrate more easily with modern smart‑home ecosystems and future devices.

Key points

• New hub: Aqara Smart Hub M200 — a smaller alternative to the Hub M3.
• Protocol support: Matter, Thread and Zigbee for broad device compatibility.
• Also announced: a new radiator thermostat to expand Aqara’s heating control options.
• Ideal for: compact setups, rooms where a full‑size hub is unnecessary, or users transitioning to Matter/Thread ecosystems.

Why this matters

As Matter and Thread gain momentum, hubs that support those standards make it easier to mix brands and control devices from a single point. A compact hub like the M200 lowers the barrier for users who want modern connectivity without buying a larger base station. The added radiator thermostat also suggests Aqara is continuing to broaden its device portfolio for practical home automation use cases.
