@mreeder220 You don’t need a SmartThings hub to connect Aqara sensors. Aqara sensors must be paired with an Aqara Hub, and the M100 is a compatible Aqara Hub.
Since your M100 hub isn’t connecting the sensors, let’s try these troubleshooting steps first:
- Check if the M100 hub has the latest firmware installed. Outdated firmware might cause connection issues.
- Ensure the sensor is within a reasonable distance from the M100 hub—too far can weaken the signal.
- Verify the sensor is reset correctly (check if the LED indicator blinks as expected) and try re-pairing following the “Add Accessory” steps.
- Confirm there are no more than 32 child devices connected to the M100 hub, as exceeding this limit can prevent new pairings.
