How to Connect Aqara Zigbee/Thread dual-protocol Devices to Amazon Alexa
共有
This third-party platform connection guide uses the Presence Multi-Sensor FP300 as an example. Other Aqara Matter devices can also be connected by following this guide. If you have any questions or encounter any issues that you are unable to resolve during the process, please contact the relevant customer service team for assistance.
1. Matter over Bridge
1.1 Prerequisites
● FP300 is in Zigbee mode
● The user owns an Aqara Matter Hub (recommended: Aqara Hub M3)
● Aqara Home App installed and the user is signed in
● The Aqara Matter Hub's initial setup is completed (powered on, network connected, added to the Aqara App)
1.2 Connect the FP300 to the Aqara Matter Hub via Zigbee
Steps
1. Ensure FP300 is in Zigbee mode
● If currently in Thread, switch to Zigbee mode first.
● After switching, the FP300 will automatically enter Zigbee pairing mode (LED alternates flashing blue and purple).
2. Open the Aqara Home App
● Tap "+" > "Add Device".
● Select the "Sensor" category, find and tap "FP300".
3. Select a Hub
● Choose an Aqara Matter hub to add the FP300 to.
● Confirm the Hub is online and on the same network as your phone and the device.
4. Pair device
● The app will show "Searching for device..."
● With the FP300 in Zigbee pairing mode, it is usually discovered within seconds.
● If not discovered automatically, long-press the FP300 reset button for 3 seconds to re-enter pairing mode.
5. Complete Zigbee Pairing
● Once discovered, the app will take you through the steps to complete the pairing.
● Name the device and select the room.
● The FP300 is now connected to Aqara Hub M3 via Zigbee.
6. Unlock advanced features
● Open the FP300 device page in the Aqara App to see four sensor cards:
○ Presence / Motion Detection
○ Temperature
○ Humidity
○ Light
● Configurable options include:
○ Detection Mode (PIR priority / Radar priority / Dual-mode linkage)
○ Detection Sensitivity (multi-level adjustable)
○ Detection Range (distance adjustment)
○ Absence Confirmation Period
○ Individual sensor toggles (disable unused sensors to save power)
○ AI Spatial Learning (AI room scanning to reduce false triggers)
○ Sampling and reporting frequency
1.3 Bridge the Aqara Hub to Amazon Alexa
After the FP300 is connected to an Aqara Matter hub via Zigbee, you can to pair The Hub as a Matter Bridge in each target platform. Once paired, the Hub will automatically expose its Zigbee devices that support Matter Bridging (including the FP300) to that platform.
Prerequisites
● Alexa App version 2.2.491118.0+
● Echo (4th gen), Echo Studio, Echo Show, or other Matter-compatible devices
● Aqara Matter Hub and FP300 paired together in Zigbee mode
Pairing Steps
1. Obtain Matter pairing code from the Hub
● In the Aqara Home App, go to the Hub's Settings > Matter, generate a pairing code.
2. Open Alexa App
● Tap "Devices" > "+" > "Add Device" > "Matter".
3. Scan the Hub's QR code
● Scan the Hub's Matter QR code or enter the pairing code.
● Tap "Yes" to confirm the device is ready.
4. Wait for connection
● Alexa connects to the Hub; process takes approximately 30-90 seconds.
● Name the Hub and select the room.
5. View bridged devices
● After the Hub connection is complete, the FP300 automatically syncs to the Alexa device list.
● Can be used as triggers in Alexa Routines.
Important Notes
● Alexa's support for Matter sensors is relatively limited; it may not fully display all sensor values at this time.
● Ensure Echo device firmware is up to date for optimal Matter support.
2. Matter Direct Connection (Matter over Thread)
It is recommended to first connect the device to the Aqara Home App via Thread for the initial setup. Then, on the device page in the Aqara Home App, go to “Third-Party Matter Ecosystems” to obtain the Matter pairing code. Use this code to add the device to a third-party Matter platform to have access to all Aqara features.
If the device is added directly to a third-party Matter platform by scanning the Matter code on the device itself, without first configuring it in the Aqara Home App, only basic functions will be available.
2.1 Preparation Steps
● Open the Aqara Home App
● Enter the Device settings page.
● Find the "Matter" option.
● Tap to generate a Matter pairing code.
2.2 Prerequisites
● Alexa App version 2.2.491118.0 or later
● A compatible Matter Hub/Controller in your home:
○ Echo (4th gen), Echo Dot (5th gen), Echo Studio, Echo Show 10 (3rd gen), Echo Show 8 (2nd gen or later), Echo Show 5 (3rd gen)
○ Or compatible eero routers (eero 6, 6+, Pro 6E, etc.)
● Alexa devices and phone connected to the same Wi-Fi network
2.3 Pairing Steps
1. Open Alexa App
● Tap "Devices" in the bottom navigation bar.
● Tap the "+" icon > "Add Device".
2. Select Matter device type
● Find and tap the Matter icon in the device type list
● If not visible in the quick list, scroll down and select "Other" > "Matter".
3. Confirm Matter logo on device
● On the confirmation page, tap "Yes".
4. Confirm device is ready
● On the confirmation page, tap "Yes" to confirm the device is powered on and in pairing mode.
5. Scan pairing code
● Scan the Matter pairing code from the Aqara Home App.
● If unable to scan, tap "Try Numeric Code Instead" to enter the 11-digit pairing code.
6. Wait for connection
● Process takes approximately 30-90 seconds.
7. Name and assign
● Once connected, name the device (e.g., "Bedroom Presence Sensor").
● Select the room.
● The device now appears in your Devices list.
8. Verify device
● The FP300 appears as a sensor device in Alexa.
● Can be used in Alexa Routines: triggers include "presence detected", "temperature above/below", "light level below", etc.
The End
If you do not have an Aqara Hub, you can scan the Matter code on the device itself to add it directly to a third-party Matter hub. However, only basic functions will be available.
