The Aqara T1M is a new light , is there a homey support for this light already ? or do I need to purchase the aqara hub to get it working? ---

This is a Matter over Thread enabled [light](https://www.aqara.com/eu/product/ceiling-light-t1m/), no app needed, it should work right away. IF you own the Pro 2023 that is. (Why do I think it uses Thread? b/c they advice a Google Nest Hub, which acts as a Thread border router, and the Pro 2023 as of v10.3.0 can do that as well) _Not sure why Homey Pro 2023 is not in this list ?_ ![Screenshot from 2024-03-07 04-39-04](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/b/9bdf3cd2addf712034ddc87fc6dec5e021192cb3.png) ![Screenshot from 2024-03-07 04-39-21](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/6/d61ab9c31a27538fa02ada2f5be07512dcc83b9a.png) ---

Thnx guys, yes I contacted aqara, and need the aqara hub (for now) matter will be added later. thnx there is no matter code on the product (yet) so not directly working with homey, now I need to order an useless aqara hub for 1 light. 🤣 ---

Well, I did notice it, Robert, but I took it as a odd Chinese translation😅 So this is another flavour of Matter? Matter over zigbee bridge… ? Hmmm, what’s next. ---

> [@Johannes\_Aloijsius](#): > > matter will be added later 🙄 Great marketing there 😆 > [@Johannes\_Aloijsius](#): > > now I need to order an useless aqara hub for 1 light You can always request for support @ Aqara app topic here, or add it as Homey generic zigbee device for now. Downside: while the device consists of 2 light sources, only 1 will be controlable, or maybe both as if it’s one light. This is because of the basic functionality of the generic zigbee driver. ---

As a generic device it adds the led ring (not the main light) as switchable, (not controllable in colors) So kinda useless 😇 ---

> [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > So this is another flavour of Matter? Matter over zigbee bridge… ? No, it’s the same as Matter with Hue: the devices connect to the bridge using regular Zigbee, and the bridge offers access to the devices from other controllers using Matter. ---

I’m not done with this yet 🤪 😅 Any clue why they write: `**`_For Matter, a Matter Controller such as Amazon Echo or Google Nest Hub is required._ Google nest hub acts as a Thread border router? ---

I guess it’s both a Matter controller _and_ a Thread border router, but Thread isn’t relevant here. ---

Does anybody know if the main light (white) will be controllable with homey pro without Aqara hub in the next weeks? In this configuration it is not really useful. ---

Hi, Is there anything new about using this light with Homey Pro? Do you have any feedback to share? I’d like to buy this light but I wasn’t planning to buy a hub or any other additional product to operate it. ---

Hope the fact that the Aqara App now lists this mean that its officially supported because I just bought it. ---

Yes, if it’s listed it should be supported ![1000041339](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/1/a14353dcc459262a7b77ab0abd49c2094db0c968.jpeg) ![1000041337](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/7/979ce025e1f769fb5b3a26e27fb393082e4a7666.jpeg) ---

But, if you look at the flow cards there is only On, Off, and Dim. No color options and no indication of which of the two lights are being controlled. My guess, it is still only controlling one light. I would buy this light if Aqara could get it to work fully with Homey without buying additional hardware. ---

For the Aqara T1M, you’re able to control both lights (ceiling and LED ring), turn them on/off, dim and change color (temperature and color for the ceiling light and color for the LED ring). Unfortunately the Homey app store only shows the flow cards for the main device, not for the secondary device (the LED ring). At this moment, it is not yet possible to activate the presets (LED animations). [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/aqara-t1m-support/105665.md?page=2)
