Quick Setup
Download the app
Search for “Aqara Home” on the app store (Apple Store, Google Play, Huawei App Gallery, etc) or scan the QR code. Download and install the Aqara Home app.
Set up the hub
- Choose the installation location of the hub: the hub should be 2-6 meters away from the router in the house, and metal obstacles between the hub and the router or around the hub.
- Power the hub on: please use the 5V-1A or 5V-2A adapter (purchase it separately) and the USB power cable to power the hub on.
If you need to use wired network communication between the hub and the router, please use a network cable with an RJ45 network port to connect the LAN ports of the hub and your router, and wait for the orange and green lights on the side of the network port to light up.
- Wait for the yellow/red hub indicator light to change from always on to flashing.
- Make sure that the mobile phone is connected to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.
- If you use a dual-band router, please make sure your phone is connected with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi or disable 5GHz Wi-Fi.
- Keep your phone close to the hub and make sure both of them are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
- Please open the Aqara Home app, click “+” in the upper right corner, select “Hub M2” and follow the instructions to complete adding the hub.
- For iOS users, if you want to realize Apple HomeKit control, please scan or manually enter the HomeKit Setup Code (keep the code in a safe place in case you need to add it again) at the bottom of the hub or the manual according to the app instructions during the hub adding process, and bind the hub to HomeKit. After it is bound successfully, you can view the added hub in the Apple Home app.
- If you fail to add the hub, please press the button on the hub for more than 10 seconds until the yellow/red light flashes quickly, and then add it again. If you need any help, please contact www.aqara.com/en/support.html.
If the device cannot be added, please follow these steps:
- Please make sure the device is connected to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.
- Wi-Fi name or password may contain special characters. Please replace them with ordinary characters and try again.
- The device does not support the WAP/WAP2 Wi-Fi network.
- Please check whether the router turns on the Wi-Fi connection watcher function, which causes network connection failures.
- Please check whether the router turns on the AP isolation function, which causes the phone to not be able to search for the hub within the LAN.
- It is recommended not to connect it to a bridge network.
