Important safety information
Please read this manual carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations in this manual may be dangerous or may violate the law. The manufacturer, importer, distributor and seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions in this manual or any other material. Use this equipment only for its intended purpose. Follow the disposal instructions. Do not dispose of electronic equipment or batteries in a fire or near open heat sources.What is Z-Wave?
Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.
Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message (two-way communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed network) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.
This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the same frequency range.
If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security. Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain backward compatibility.

Product Description
Aqara Hub M2 is your control center for a whole smart home. It can easily connect via ZigBee protocol even if your home network is unstable or disconnected. Up to 32 Aqara smart accessories can be connected to the hub.
Works with Apple HomeKit.
Use the Home app to control the hub and connected accessories. Aqara accessories can also be combined with other HomeKit-enabled accessories to give you a smart home. iOS 10.3 or later is recommended to control this HomeKit-enabled accessory. To automatically control these HomeKit-enabled accessories from home, an Apple TV running tvOS 10.2 or later, or an iPad running iOS 10.3 or later, or a Home Pod set up as a Home Hub is required.
Security.
HomeKit technology provides advanced security with end-to-end encryption and authentication. Data related to your home is encrypted and stored in your Apple device"s keychain. It"s also encrypted during transmission between your Apple device and the accessories you control at home.
Siri voice control.
You can control Aqara accessories with Siri on your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or HomePod. Just tell Siri, "I"m home." Then the lights come on, the curtains close, and a cozy home awaits you.
App Control.
With the Aqara Home app (iOS or Android), you can control your home anytime, from virtually anywhere.
Technologically advanced.
Aqara Hub uses a body-shell design and NXP i.MX6 CPU, 256MB DRAM, 256MB flash and an MFi chip. It has two integrated antennas. Using the FR-4 PCB with a large-area vented base creates front-to-back airflow, increasing heat dissipation and ensuring the hub"s reliability over time.

Prepare for Installation / Reset
Please read the user manual before installing the product.
In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default state. Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave controller is able to perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is excluded properly from this network.
Safety Warning for Mains Powered Devices
ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country-specific installation guidelines/norms may do works with mains power. Prior to the assembly of the product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.
Inclusion/Exclusion
On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network. This process is called Inclusion.
Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion. Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller is turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is then performed doing a special manual action right on the device.
Quick trouble shooting
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
- Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
- If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
- Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
- Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
- Dont poll FLIRS devices.
- Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing

Explanation of Z-Wave specific terms
- Controller — is a Z-Wave device with capabilities to manage the network. Controllers are typically Gateways,Remote Controls or battery operated wall controllers.
- Slave — is a Z-Wave device without capabilities to manage the network. Slaves can be sensors, actuators and even remote controls.
- Primary Controller — is the central organizer of the network. It must be a controller. There can be only one primary controller in a Z-Wave network.
- Inclusion — is the process of adding new Z-Wave devices into a network.
- Exclusion — is the process of removing Z-Wave devices from the network.
- Association — is a control relationship between a controlling device and a controlled device.
- Wakeup Notification — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave device to announces that is able to communicate.
- Node Information Frame — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave device to announce its capabilities and functions.
