Updating hubs to support Thread 1.4

Helo,

Could you let us know if an update will soon be available in beta testing for the Aqara M3 hub?

The Thread 1.4 update brings a range of features and improvements, including:

  • One mesh network: Regardless of brand, smart home platform, or operating system, updated devices or Thread Border Routers can now join existing Thread networks, creating a larger, more reliable mesh. Thread 1.4 standardises the way devices recognise and trust one another, resulting in one cohesive network

  • Improved testing and troubleshooting: Newly standardised methods for network configuration and status reporting provide developers and installers with enhanced visibility of Thread networks. This leads to improved performance, advanced troubleshooting capabilities, and the potential for commercial-grade monitoring

  • Secure, wireless onboarding in difficult locations: Thread’s commissioning at scale feature streamlines the process of wirelessly onboarding pre-installed devices in hard-to-reach locations, such as ceilings or walls. Instead of scanning physical installation codes, the onboarding can be done securely using TLS certificates, ideal for professional installations in commercial settings

  • Additional enhancements: Thread 1.4 also includes updates that improve the operation and performance of Thread mesh networks, ensuring better deployment and user experience across Thread-enabled devices
