I want to use the M100 as a Thread Border Router. I am able to add it to Smartthings, as well as to the Aqara app. When I try to add a Matter-over-Thread device in Smartthings, I get a prompt to choose the Thread network. I choose the one that my M100 hub is broadcasting. Smartthings then prompts to enter a “32-character network key” and I have no idea where to find this. How do I get through this stage?

Hi. Try the following:

  1. Set up the Aqara Hub:
    First, ensure the Aqara Hub (M100) is fully set up and updated in the Aqara Home app, and that the Thread network was created. This step was likely already completed during your initial Aqara Hub setup.

  2. Add the device to Aqara:
    Add your Matter-over-Thread device to the Aqara Home app by scanning the physical QR code found on the device.

  3. Generate a Multi-Admin code:
    In the Aqara app, go to the settings of the device you just added: General Settings → Matter → Matter Pairing Code to generate a temporary code.

  4. Add to SmartThings:
    Enter the newly generated code from step 3. (Note: Do not use the physical sticker on the device for this step, as that code is already linked to the Aqara app).
