I don’t see the need for the G5 Pro to include Matter controller / Thread border router. Install 4 cameras and you have 4 Matter controllers. Better to use a separate hub like the M3.
Instead, the G5 Pro really needs a built in battery, preferably exchangeable. No battery, no solar panel. Plenty of users would prefer not to rely on a wired power source.
The POE functionality is nice, but that version is missing Wi-Fi. If the POE version would include Wi-Fi, I would buy that one even if I don’t need POE (for now).
When multiple Aqara Matter Controller devices exist in the same home, only one controller ultimately plays the role of the final executing device. Users can modify this only executing device in Aqara Home.
The battery G5 Pro is currently under development.
The coexistence of PoE and WiFi design may lead to increased product costs, but I believe coexistence can also exist as an additional form, and we will conduct more research.
