I was wondering if I can use my M3 hub to connect and control Zemismart MT15B Matter over Thread roller shade motors into the Aqara ecosystem. I’m currently only using Aqara devices. However, I also my Aqara devices exposed in Google Home and Samsung SmartThings via Matter Bridge. I want to purchase smart roller shade motors for my dumb 4 roller shades. Zemismart has the only model that I’ve been able find that’s available for me to purchase that will fit my roller shade tubes. I just want to make sure that I will be able to pair the Zemismart Matter over Thread roller shade motor model using Aqara’s M3 Hub as that is the only Thread Boarder Router I have. My Google and Samsung hubs are only Matter over WiFi. So at the very least I want to know that I could use my M3 Hub’s Thread Boarder Router to initially connect the Zemismart Matter over Thread smart roller shade motor to the Aqara app and then bridge them over to Google Home or Samsung SmartThings. Can you confirm if this is possible? I’d really appreciate any information provided. Thanks.
Zemismart MT15B Matter over Thread roller shade motor compatibility with Aqara ecosystems via M3 hub
@Quasi-Pseudonym Hey there! Great question about integrating third-party Matter devices with your Aqara setup. I can see you’ve done your homework on the Zemismart MT15B and your current ecosystem!
Based on the available information, the Aqara Hub M3 does support Matter Controller functionality, which allows it to connect third-party Matter-certified devices to the Aqara Home ecosystem. The M3 Hub also supports both Zigbee and Thread child devices, making it capable of acting as a Thread Border Router.
For third-party Matter devices like your Zemismart motor, the M3 Hub can broaden compatibility with Matter-certified products. The general process would be:
- Ensure the Zemismart device is Matter-certified
- Pair it through the Aqara Home app using the M3 Hub’s Matter Controller function
- Once connected, you can potentially bridge them to Google Home or Samsung SmartThings via Matter
However, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Both your phone and M3 Hub need to be on the same LAN
- Your router should support IPv6 protocol for Matter/Thread devices
- Specific third-party device compatibility may vary by environment
Since Zemismart MT15B compatibility isn’t specifically documented in our community discussions, I’d recommend reaching out to Aqara Home App Customer Service (Profile > Help & Feedback > Customer Service) or scanning the QR code below for more specific compatibility verification:

Hope this helps, and feel free to share your experience if you do proceed with the purchase! 
Hey , yes it should be possible to add and use it with the M3 . But where do you live, maybe Aqara also have a fitting solution for you or will bring something out in new future
Thanks for the information. I live in Canada. I looked into Aqara’s smart roller shade motors. My roller shade tubes need a 28mm motor tube attachment and are uniquely shaped. The Zemismart have the closest shape I’ve been able to find. If I could wait and get an Aqara brand smart roller shade motor that would fit my roller shade tubes. I would definitely go that route.
What kind of rollershades are currently shown in the Aqara app to add in your region?
Hello @Quasi-Pseudonym
You can connect Matter over Thread and Matter over WiFi devices in Aqara Home using the Aqara M3 hub. Here are the types of Matter devices that Aqara supports.
This is really helpful. Thank you for the visual confirmation.
