Key differences between Aqara Hub M200 and YoLink Hub

A summary of selected recorded differences between these hubs. Check the full specification table below for details and conditions.

Feature differences among your selected devices

5 GHz Wi-Fi (connectivity): Aqara Hub M200 — Yes; YoLink Hub — No (YoLink support states the Hub does not support the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band).
Power Over Ethernet (hardware): Aqara Hub M200 — Yes (PoE input of 48V 0.25A, or 5V 2A over USB-C); YoLink Hub — No (YoLink support states the current version of the Hub has no built-in PoE functionality, and suggests a PoE splitter with a MicroUSB connector as a workaround).
Apple Home (integrations): Aqara Hub M200 — Yes; YoLink Hub — No (YoLink's compatibility list for this Hub is Alexa, Google, IFTTT, Home Assistant and Raedius, with no Apple Home path; the Matter route belongs to the separate Local Hub (YS1606)).
SmartThings (integrations): Aqara Hub M200 — Yes; YoLink Hub — No (SmartThings is not on YoLink's compatibility list for this Hub, and the YS1603 is not a Matter device).

Specifications to check side by side

Subdevices (features): Aqara Hub M200 — 80 (Up to 40 Aqara Zigbee devices plus 40 Thread devices); YoLink Hub — 180 (YoLink support states there is no hard limit and that a single Hub carried 180 devices without issues in testing, recommending a second Hub between 100 and 200 devices).
Speakers (hardware): Aqara Hub M200 — 90dB (Used for security alerts, doorbell chimes, alarm clock and custom audio messages); YoLink Hub — No (The datasheet lists only status LEDs; audible alerts are the job of the separate YoLink SpeakerHub).
Third Party Devices (protocols): Aqara Hub M200 — Partially (Matter controller for third-party Matter devices across more than 50 device types in Aqara Home, while Zigbee pairing is limited to Aqara Zigbee devices (40 Zigbee plus 40 Thread).); YoLink Hub — No (Hosts only YoLink LoRa devices; other brands reach YoLink only through cloud integrations (Alexa, Google, IFTTT, Home Assistant), never by pairing to the hub.).
