Aqara Hub
FAQ
The Aqara Hub is a smart Wi-Fi gateway that supports the Aqara Home app and Apple HomeKit. It communicates with subdevices through Zigbee. Users can add various child devices to the Hub, so the system can control the switches, bulbs, curtains, monitor the temperature and humidity, door and window status, detect movement and water leak, and play an alarm or perform an action when triggered. Users can create and manage different scenes with the Apple HomeKit app or the Aqara Home app.

2. Tap “No Code or Can’t Scan”.
3. Select the" yellow house" icon "Aqara Hub-XXXX" (if not shown, please wait 1 minute or so, and the app will automatically scan the nearby Hub).
4. In the pop-up dialog box "Add subdevices to network", select Allow (if the dialog box does not pop up, please restart your phone and try again), add the Hub by manually entering the HomeKit code.
If "Cannot add subdevices" is shown, the possible reasons and solutions are as follows:
1. The Wi-Fi signal of the router is weak. Please move the Hub closer to the router and try again.
2. Due to repeated adding failures, the Wi-Fi cache of the Hub is not released properly. Please restart your phone and try again.
