Why the Aqara Hub M3 Might Disappoint You: A Brutally Honest Review!
Summary
TLDRDas Video-Skript präsentiert die neue Kora Hub M3, die vielversprechend ist, aber in ihrem aktuellen Zustand enttäuschend. Obwohl das Gerät Multi-Protokolle unterstützt und Thread-Geräte integrieren kann, bietet es derzeit keine zusätzlichen Funktionen im Vergleich zur Vorgängerversion M2. Es fehlen erwartete Einstellungen für Thread-Zubehör und die Unterstützung von Drittanbieter-Geräten via Matter ist stark eingeschränkt. Der Preis für die M3 ist hoch, und die Funktionalität ist begrenzt, was das Skript zu der Schlussfolgerung führt, dass die M2 ausreichend ist und die M3 erstmaligerweise nicht den Preis wert ist.

Outlines
🚀 Kora Hub M3: Neues Update mit Thread-Unterstützung
Der erste Absatz präsentiert die Einführung des Kora Hub M3, der vieler Erwartungen entspricht und über Multi-Protokolle und Verbindbarkeit verfügt. Der Sprecher bedankt sich bei aora für das Senden des Hubs für eine ehrliche Bewertung, die nicht gesponsert ist. Der Hub kann alles, was sein Vorgänger, der M2, konnte, und bietet jetzt Thread-Unterstützung, was bedeutet, dass neue aore Thread-Geräte wie der P2-Bewegungssensor und der P2-Kontaktsensor nicht direkt in Apple Home für Automatisierungen integriert werden müssen, sondern können im Hub verwaltet werden. Es wird auch erwähnt, dass einige erwartete Funktionen, wie die Aktivierung des Druckknopfs auf dem Kontaktsensor, noch nicht im Core-App verfügbar sind und dass die M3 derzeit nicht die gesteckten Erwartungen erfüllt, was die Erweiterung der Funktionalität betrifft.
🔌 Einrichtung und Fähigkeiten des Kora Hub M3
Der zweite Absatz beschreibt die Einrichtung des Kora Hub M3 als einfach und vielseitig, mit Unterstützung für PoE und USB-C-Energieversorgung sowie für Wi-Fi 2,4 GHz und 5 GHz. Der Hub bietet lokale Kontrolle und ist in der Lage, lokal mit anderen aora-Hubs zu kommunizieren, selbst wenn das Netzwerk ausfällt. Es wird auch erwähnt, dass der Hub ältere aora-Geräte und neue Thread-Geräte verwalten kann, aber dass die Integration in Apple Home für Thread-Geräte über einen neuen Matter-Code erfolgen muss. Der Hub bietet weiterhin die Möglichkeit, einen DIY-Alarmsystem in Apple Home zu nutzen und behält die IR-Funktion des M2 bei, obwohl die IR-Funktionalität des M3 scheinbar Probleme hat. Zudem wird auf die begrenzten Möglichkeiten des Hubs, mit Drittanbieter-Geräten über Matter zu arbeiten, hingewiesen.
💭 Fazit und persönliche Meinung zum Kora Hub M3
Der dritte Absatz fasst die Meinung des Sprechers über den Kora Hub M3 zusammen. Er betont, dass der M3 im Vergleich zum M2 sehr begrenzt ist und lediglich die Möglichkeit bietet, Thread-Geräte im Core-Hub zu verwalten, ohne zusätzliche Einstellungen zu bieten. Der Preis für den M3 wird als zu hoch angesehen, insbesondere weil die neuen Accessories teurer sind und größer sind, ohne dass sie besser sind. Der Sprecher empfiehlt, den M2 zu kaufen, wenn ein Hub erforderlich ist, und erwähnt, dass der M3 zwar Potenzial hat, aber derzeit extrem eingeschränkt ist. Er rät, abzuwarten, was aora mit dem Hub weiter macht, da er derzeit nicht den Wert für das Geld bietet.

all right aora lovers today is the day
their Kora Hub M3 has been released it
has been talked about so much much
anticipated about this amazing Hub but
is it all it's cracked up to be been
testing this out for you guys and today
I'm going to tell you what I think about
it in its current state and is it a
purchase that you need to do or not
let's jump into the video all right
first things first I want to thank aora
for sending this out to me for full
honest review but this is not sponsored
in any other way all my opinions are my
own and not even reviewed by the company
so they're hearing this the first time
that you are also all right let's go
ahead and talk about the big thing about
this Hub and what it's all about and
that is all the multi- protocols and
connectivity cuz that's what hubs are
about taking your little accessories and
bring them to a centralized location and
automate them or sending them to another
system that can automate them so what
can this new Hub do well obviously it
can do everything the M2 did had zigg
had Bluetooth it worked with Lady a it
worked with Google home and my primary
platform Apple home this new one now has
thread meaning that their new aore
thread devices like the P2 motion sensor
and the P2 contact sensor don't have to
go directly into Apple home for
automation it can actually go into their
core hub for automations now downside or
what I expected out of these new devices
coming into the new Hub is more
functionality and unfortunately I can't
report that it has any more
functionality except for it can now
communicate you know to more core
accessories through the Hub you know it
has the different automations or more
choices for automations but for instance
there's been rumors which you never buy
on a rumor that this push button on the
contact sensor would now be exposed to
the core Hub well unfortunately that
setting is not in their core app at
least not yet will that come who knows
it's a rumor secondly on the P2 motion
sensor uh you're limited to what it's
defaulted and there's no settings in
their core app they said the settings
would be coming but unfortunately
there's no settings on range or coold
down periods so whatever is currently in
here that's all you get hopefully these
settings will be coming for these newer
thread accessories but currently they
are not and there's two ways to get this
into Apple home it is Apple homekit
certified so you can scan the QR code
for apple homekit and bring it in that
way and you can also use the matter code
and bring in apple home you probably
only want to do one or the other I
tested it both ways and I didn't see a
difference between the two also the
entire Hub can be exposed to matter
meaning that if you have another Hub
that supports matter like my primary
matter Hub which is the homie Pro which
is awesome you can bring the entire Hub
over to homie Pro and all the child
accessories that are already attached to
the hub and it automatically comes over
you want to be careful if you're using
Apple home uh integration or home Kitty
and homie Pro cuz then you have double
the amount of accessories in your Apple
home app so just be careful of that you
going to have to turn that off if that's
one way that you want to get the Aur
accessories easily into homie Pro and
talking about homie Pro aora also works
with third-party accessories via matter
but unfortunately it is extremely
limited there's actually only like three
accessories or three companies that
currently work with works with bulbs
with Philips Hue which I did not test my
Hue Bridge simply because I'm not
willing to bring my Hue Bridge into
Apple home via matter because it works
great over homekit and I'm not going to
mess that up now it also works with
Levon switches and dimmers that I did
test you actually have to go up to the
camera and scan the code and say there
is no code it's not in the list of
devices that it currently works with you
actually have to go to the camera
icon to activate these and then it also
works with a Google Nest Thermostat
which I don't have so I was not able to
test that so all in all this is not
currently much of a matter Hub so if you
thought this was going to be a matter
Hub that can control all your devices in
your home in its current state it's not
even close if you want something that's
a lot closer and a lot more usable
definitely check out the homie pro hub
which I absolutely love all right now we
got the big things out of the way let's
talk about some small things and give
you my overall thoughts and some pros
and cons and if I think it's worth it or
not so to set this up was really easy
there's multiple ways I love that has
Poe capabilities if your switch does not
have Poe that's okay it also has a USBC
wire that you can plug in and get power
that way this also works on Wi-Fi 2.4
GHz and 5 GHz but obviously a hub like
this you definitely want to have
hardwired and once it's on your network
this does have local control and what's
awesome at least I haven't it's really
hard to test this but it says if your
network is down um it can actually
communicate locally with the other hubs
that you have from aora the older ones
if you happen to have them like I do or
you can also migrate those older hubs to
this new one if you want to really easy
except for for the original Hub the M1 I
had a lot of accessories still on that
Hub and that Hub did not show up as
something that could be migrated over to
the new M3 so I had to delete everything
and add it to the new M3 it wasn't the
end of the world I did have a couple
weird issues I one of the water sensors
kept saying that uh it had a flood alert
but didn't like it was just weird so I
just kept deleting it and read addding
it and eventually it came back to life
it's just really weird about that but
all my other old accessories I
absolutely love the good old days of a
COR affable great zigg products you can
now uh bring right into your M3 Hub also
and don't forget you can bring the new
thread accessories into the M3 Hub also
but these work over matter so these are
not child devices within the M3 Hub only
zigg and Bluetooth are child devices so
if you want to bring this into other
platforms you'll have to share this out
which I kind of think it's using the
home Apple home thread Network don't
quote me on this it just looks like it
is it looks like this M3 Hub is a router
within my thread Apple home network so
you do have to add these back in Via a
new matter code um it's not the end of
the world but just know that these are
not automatically assigned through this
Hub to Apple home you have to read them
back in with a new matter code which by
the way you get that matter code within
the core app you just go to matter and
it it uh give you a new matter code you
can't use the same matter code that you
had this assigned to aora already and
just like the M2 and the m1s this brings
over the DIY alarm system that you can
use in apple home exposes the four
settings off away night and home so you
can use this as a DYI smart home alarm
system if you want to this also has the
same ability of the M2 when it comes to
IR blasting unfortunately I don't really
use IR in my home I have a few things
but nothing that's near my Hub or I
would want to connect to my Hub I
understand that there's lots of people
lots of situations if you want that it's
the exact same thing as the M2 I think
if you have some AC systems that use IR
you can expose that to matter and bring
that into Apple home but seems to be
very limited um it really didn't work
for me I tried it out in the M3 Hub just
to play around with it and it seemed
like it had download issues to download
the codes and everything uh I don't know
if that's the way it's supposed to be
just because it just didn't work um it
worked with my M2 Hub but the M3 Hub
seems to be having issues with the IR
blasting downloading the code it would
be nice if it did expose all IR things
to Apple home which bypass that you can
use scenes and bring in the scene
through Apple home but like I said I
really don't use that but that option is
definitely available uh but right now it
seems like they're having issues with
the M3 IR blasting code downloads a COR
also talks a lot about device binding
and what happens if a hub goes down you
can have a secondary M3 Hub all in all
to be honest my Hubs have never got
really gone down and unless there was a
full power outage so all this
advertising about device binding and
this will happen that will happen it's
just a bunch of marketing and I just
feel like it's just not anything that in
the real world that most people are
worried about but yes there is some
devices that have device binding that if
something does go down one hubs do go
down the automation can still happen but
it's actually very limited I think some
of the light um strips the relay and one
other device that has device binding
currently so all in all it's very
limited to begin with anyways and it's
just a bunch of marketing talk that most
people are never going to use or see so
what I think about this like you can
probably tell this thing is very limited
uh past what a M2 can do pretty much M2
and the M3 currently are pretty much the
same thing except for now you can bring
your thread a core thread devices into
the Hub and manage them in their core
Hub but there's no extra settings like
the rumors say there's going to be
hopefully that will come at least um
because you're paying a lot more for
these new accessories and they're bigger
and you know supposedly better but for
the price they're really not the price
of the M3 Hub is also astronomical in my
opinion uh just get m to I think you'll
be just fine but if you did want to
experience you know and wait for aord
have these third party matter um
products exposed to the aora hub so you
can automate and have one Hub then hey
it's your money but I would say just get
M2 Hub in my opinion if you have to have
a hub but you know otherwise this has
potential but for the price and for what
it currently has I would say it's not
worth it and you're just going to have
to wait around and see what cor does
with this cuz right now it's extremely
limited all right guys that's going to
wrap up for me let me know what you guys
think about this Hub down in the
comments below is this something that
you're willing to pay for and pick up
let me know down below thanks for
watching guys hit that like button hit

new content coming out on this channel
