Selection Recommendations
- M300 / GX300M: As Aqara Studio official standard hosts, pre-installed with Aqara Studio OS and built-in Hub, delivering out-of-the-box local deployment and operation. With stable edge computing capabilities, they are perfectly suited for smart home and small commercial project needs.
- AX100M / AX200M: As Aqara Studio sub-hubs, they need to connect to M300/GX300M or other official standard hosts running Aqara Studio. Primarily used to expand Zigbee and Thread wireless network coverage and device access capacity. Suitable for scenarios requiring distributed deployment, multi-area signal extension, or protocol bridging (e.g., infrared control).
