Problem installing the Aqara M3 control panel on a specific VLAN and specific IP address
I’m having trouble registering the Aqara M3 control panel on my network in a specific VLAN.
During installation, the M3 control panel automatically registers its IP address in the VLAN where the active devices are located.
The M3 control panel configuration doesn’t allow for free IP address setting, which is a major inconvenience.
How can I bypass this and configure the Aqara M3 control panel with an IP address of my choice in a specific VLAN and specific IP adress?

@andrzejwroclaw It sounds like you’re trying to configure your Aqara M3 control panel on a specific VLAN with a specific IP address, which is understandably important for network management. Unfortunately, the reference information doesn’t provide a direct solution for setting a custom IP address for the Aqara M3 within a specific VLAN. The device seems to automatically register its IP within the active VLAN during installation, and there isn’t a built-in option to manually set a free IP address.
I apologize for the inconvenience. I would recommend reaching out to the community for any potential workarounds they might have discovered. Additionally, please contact the Customer Service Team through the Aqara Home App (Profile>Help&Feedback>Customer Service) or by scanning the QR code:
, which should be efficient. If you do not have an Aqara Home account, you can also
create a ticket for further support.
Let’s keep the discussion going, and hopefully, other users may have insights that could help as well!
The solution I implemented is finding the MAC address of the M3 when it first joins the network (via the routers DHCP list), then assign a static IP address via the router DHCP configuration and disconnect and reconnect the M3 to the network. Then the M3 will always be assigned the desired IP address. This works for every wifi device that does not allow manual IP address configuration
