Aqara Hub M3 vs Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller

The Aqara Hub M3 wins overall, outscoring the Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller on rating, connectivity, protocols and integrations thanks to its Zigbee, Thread and Matter support plus five-platform reach. The Moes model only wins on price.

The Aqara Hub M3 is a full multi-protocol smart-home hub (Zigbee, Thread, Matter, Bluetooth, Ethernet, WiFi) with IR built in as one of many functions. The Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller does one job, IR and RF blasting over WiFi, with no Zigbee, Thread or Matter support.

Yes. The Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller adds RF (radio) control that the Aqara Hub M3 does not have, so it can reach radio-based devices the Aqara can't touch directly.

Yes, natively, along with Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The Moes RF IR Universal Remote Controller does not support Apple HomeKit at all.

Smart-home builders who want a Zigbee, Thread and Matter hub with IR control included, and who plan to bridge devices across Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings or Home Assistant.

Buyers who only need an inexpensive way to control IR and RF devices from their phone, with no interest in Zigbee, Thread or Matter.
