NEW YORK, June 8, 2021 /CNW/ -- Aqara, a provider for smart home products, announced the launch of the long-awaited Aqara Hub M2 to the US market. The Hub M2 is Aqara's most advanced and future-proof smart home hub so far, and it serves as a smart home control center for a wide range of Aqara sensors, controllers and other child devices. The M2 will be available on the Aqara Amazon US store starting from June 8, 2021, followed by the Aqara Amazon Canada store in the next few weeks.

Compared with the previous generation, the Hub M2 supports the Zigbee 3.0 protocol, which is the faster, more stable and energy-efficient technology, and it can connect up to 128 devices*. It also features an Ethernet RJ45 port for wired Internet connection, providing extra stability and lower response time for better user experiences.

Moreover, with an IR transmitter built in, the Hub M2 highlights the infrared control function allowing users to control existing IR home appliances, such as turning on TVs, projectors and TV boxes, from any part of the room by voice commands and via local automations. Users also have more flexibility when installing the hub thanks to its Micro-USB power port, and it no longer takes up the socket space. The Micro-USB port also allows optional battery backup with a power bank**.

Other features of the Aqara Hub M2 include:

• All-Round Compatibility: Makes connected Aqara devices compatible with major smart home ecosystems and voice assistants, such as Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, and more;
• Built-in Speaker: Can be used in various ways with configurable ringtones, such as security alerts, doorbell, and alarm clock;
• HomeKit Alarm Mode Support: All 4 native alarm modes are supported;
• Sleek Design: Top-class components are packed into a versatile and compact black housing that will complement any decor.
