I have a smartthings hub 3 i bought a few years ago. I never got on with smartthings and it’s lying unused.

I’ve recently been looking at aqara devices (motion sensors etc) that require an aqara hub, but i was wondering if i could skip their hub and just use the smartthings hub instead.

is that possible?

    I would recommend you buy another brand. I the 3 pack of temp sensors and they will work directly with SmartThings. Unfortunately only 1 of the 3 still works after 60 days. The company has been unhelpful and Amazon offered a refund thankfully. I have had more frustration because of them losing sync repeatedly than I think I saved over other brands.

    I just bought my first Aqara product and it actually has a setup directly in SmartThings. Brian, from “Automate Your Life” on YouTube did an in-depth list of Aqara devices that work with SmartThings a couple weeks ago. I’ve been using SmartThings for over 4 years and stayed away from Aqara because I won’t used 3rd party hubs. Surprisingly, there are quiet a few devices that are supported directly.
