Has anyone successfully integrated third-party Matter devices into Aqara Home? How’s your experience so far?
Curious to hear your thoughts!
so posted some other place but thought I would post here, this product is confirmed working with m3 its a matter power strip they are the same products under useelink (the one shown) in uk, eu but the Xenon brand is the identical specs
I am currently using several Matter-enabled smart devices, including bulbs and plugs. While basic control generally works, I’ve noticed limitations in feature availability across different platforms.
For instance, I have a TP-Link Tapo P110M smart plug that functions correctly through Matter. However, the Aqara app does not display its electricity consumption data, even though this information is available within the TP-Link Tapo application. This suggests that while Matter enables basic interoperability, advanced features might not be universally accessible across all Matter-compatible systems.
I connected devices from Ikea via the Dirigera bridge: leak sensor, air purifier, two types of wireless buttons
I’m pretty sad because Aqara doesn’t support switches exported as switches. I don’t know the reason of this limitation.
Actually, we already support the electricity consumption feature. I’m not sure if TP-Link implement this functionality according to the Matter standard specification or its custom spec. Have you checked by adding it into Home Assistant to see if there’s power consumption data? We will also use this device to test and identify the specific cause. Thank you very much for the information. 
Cool! Looking forward to more devices! 
So many device types!
Sorry for the inconvenience. This is because support for the Switch device type was only introduced in Matter 1.4 Spec. We will also add support for the Switch device type in our second-phase update—stay tuned!
Oh, awesome! I’m glad to hear that.
