Aqara is really looking to put its stamp on the home automation market. With perhaps the broadest mix of home automation products and the new M3 hub on the way, are we looking at one of the next top dogs in the smart home market? Let's look at some of their new announcements from CES 2024 and review some of their most popular smart home devices.

DIY Smart Home Guy creates how-to videos for smart home automation centered around Z-Wave and Zigbee devices. Review videos are generally centered around Hubitat Elevation, SmartThings and Vera. I personally run Hubitat as my primary smart hub, however I do test products on the hubs mentioned. I understand that a home automation hub is not a path for everyone. I chose this path because I am a firm believer is advanced automation and local control.
