I have loads of door-window, motion sensors, etc., from Aqara attached to my Hubitat C8pro.
Works great…
Anyone want to discuss using new stuff? Matter in particular.

@TArman It’s fantastic to hear that you’re successfully using Aqara devices with your Hubitat C8pro! The integration of Aqara sensors like door-window and motion sensors can truly enhance smart home automation experiences.
Regarding the Matter protocol, it’s an exciting development in the smart home landscape. Using an Aqara Hub that supports Matter, like the Aqara Hub M2, allows integration with Home Assistant, as mentioned in the reference information. Matter is designed to be a universal standard, enabling compatibility across various ecosystems, which sounds like it could be a great fit for your setup if you’re looking to expand or integrate further.
Feel free to share more about your experiences or any specific questions you might have about incorporating new Matter-compatible devices. It would be great to dive deeper into how Matter could further enhance your smart home network!
@TArman Great to hear your Aqara door - window and motion sensors are working smoothly with the Hubitat C8pro—that’s a solid setup! It’s awesome that you’re looking to dive into new stuff, especially Matter—definitely a key area for smart home evolution.
Matter’s main strength lies in enhancing interoperability across different ecosystems, which aligns well with your multi - device setup. While in theory, Matter controllers from various vendors should work, using an Aqara Matter Controller (such as Hub M3, M100, G5 Pro, or G410) is recommended for the best integration and access to all features within the Aqara Home app . Aqara currently supports Matter with devices like Hub M3, Motion Sensor P2, and Door Sensor P2, and some devices can be exposed via Matter bridges (most 3.0 Zigbee gateways, except G2H Pro, function as bridges) .
Also, Matter’s multi - admin functionality could be interesting for your setup. It allows connecting devices to multiple Matter - supported ecosystems and setting individual sharing preferences, which might open up new possibilities with your Hubitat system .
Do share more about what new Matter - related features or devices you’re considering—this community would love to discuss and learn from your experiences. Let’s keep the conversation going!
