Mill Wifi Panel Heater (Gen3)

MatterWithAqaraHome

World’s first panel heater with Matter. Added it to the Aqara M3 Hub with the Matter code I generated from Mill. It connected to Aqara right away and came up as Thermostart. I can turn it on/off, adjust the temperature and use it in automations. Adjusting the temperature from the Aqara App is pretty quick. So far it looks good, I have more panel heaters I want to connect later. Will test it more in the fall and winter. Mill is coming with a new generation (Gen4) of the panel heaters in the fall (With Wifi/Matter/Zigbee). Hope the new #AqaraSmartThermostatW600 can control 3 party devices.

I can’t even get Aqara’s own matter devices working in the Aqara app. With just and e1 and m2 hub, Aqara’s matter over thread devices won’t work. I keep my Aqara m2 just as a bridge to other open platforms, home assistant, Alexa, Apple home, Google home and hubitat.

You need the M3,M100 or G4.

Aqara Home with Hue Bulbs

MatterWithAqaraHome

I have connected the Hue Bridge/Hub to Aqara with Matter and can control Hue Bulbs. All the lights in the living room are connected to a Hue Bridge/Hub. In the living room I have an Aqara Display Switch V1 EU, I use one of the buttons to turn on/off all the lights using an automation. We use Siri to dim the lights.

Points added!

Aqara Ceiling Lamp T1M

MatterWithAqaraHome


I integrated my Aqara Ceiling Lamp T1M into SmartThings using Matter, since I couldn’t find a way to add it directly otherwise. Thanks to Matter, I was able to bring it in and also trigger my Aqara scenes from SmartThings.

The setup process was mostly smooth - the Aqara side worked well, but I did run into some issues getting my TV to function as a proper Matter hub at first. Once that was sorted, everything connected cleanly.

Now the T1M is part of my SmartThings routines. I’m using Samsung’s Circadian Lighting to match indoor light with natural daylight, and I also paired it with my Nest Hub’s morning wake-up light feature - so both lights slowly brighten.

One fun routine I set up: the T1M’s colorful outer ring changes color based on the current weather outside - super helpful (and lazy) way to get a weather check without even looking at my phone or window :joy:

I also linked my Ring Doorbell to SmartThings so that when someone rings the bell, the T1M flashes red to grab my attention.

Thanks for sharing! Points have been issued. :grinning:
