Scene: The Perfect Upgrade to Your Existing Aqara Setup

Upgrade your Aqara system with the M3 as the lead hub for local automation or migrate all Zigbee devices for a stronger setup.

Scene: Smart Air Conditioning with a Climate Sensor

Thanks to its built-in IR blaster, the M3 can control your IR air conditioner directly. Pair it with an Aqara Climate Sensor to trigger cooling or heating based on room temperature. Best of all, it works with Apple Home, Alexa, and Google Home via Matter for seamless control.

Automation Setup

IF (Condition) - Temperature > X // THEN (Action) - Turn on Air Conditioner and set temperature to X
IF (Condition) - Temperature > X // THEN (Action) - Turn off Air Conditioner

Scene: Save Energy with Precise Presence Detection

Use the FP2 Presence Sensor to detect when no one’s in a room or area. For example, if no one is on the first floor, the M3 can automatically switch your thermostat to energy-saving mode—keeping comfort high and power bills low, all with reliable local automation.

Automation Setup

IF (Condition) - IF Absence is detected in on the first floor // THEN (Action) - THEN Set the first floor thermostat to energy-saving mode

Scene: Automatic Lighting Based on Motion and Brightness

Let your lights work smarter. When motion is detected and the room's brightness drops below 100 lux, the M3 can trigger your ceiling light to turn on in a bright cold white setting. You can also schedule the light to adapt its colour temperature throughout the day for a natural circadian rhythm.

Automation Setup

IF (Condition) - IF Motion is detected // When - WHEN Brightness is lower than 100 lux // THEN (Action) – THEN Turn on the Ceiling Light // THEN Set the Ceiling Light to Bright Cold White
