Zigbee is the catch with the Aqara Smart Plug (ZNCZ12LM): it reaches Apple Home, Alexa and Google Home only through an Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub, which is sold separately. Once it's on a hub, the Aqara app records the appliance's power use daily and monthly. This US version is rated 15 A / 1875 W at 100-125 V.

Ecosystem compatibility
| Platform | Works? | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Matter | Unconfirmed | No CSA listing found for ZNCZ12LM; the plug itself is Zigbee. Aqara's Hub M3 can expose Aqara Zigbee devices to Matter as a bridge, but no page names this plug. |
| Apple Home | Via Aqara Zigbee hub | Aqara lists Apple HomeKit; it reaches Apple Home through an Aqara hub.[1],[2] |
| Google Home | Via Aqara Zigbee hub | Aqara lists Google Assistant; works through an Aqara hub and the Aqara account link.[1],[2] |
| Amazon Alexa | Via Aqara Zigbee hub | Aqara lists Amazon Alexa; works through an Aqara hub and the Aqara skill.[1],[2] |
| SmartThings | Unconfirmed | Aqara's partnerships page lists SmartThings, but the US spec sheet and store page don't, and that partner page also shows EU ratings (10 A / 2300 W). Official sources disagree.[3] |
| Home Assistant | Unconfirmed | No official Aqara or Home Assistant page names this model. Users run Aqara Zigbee plugs through Zigbee coordinators, but that isn't documented here. |
“Via Matter” means you add it with that platform's Matter controller instead of a brand skill or app. “Unconfirmed” means we couldn't find an official source either way. How we verify.
Specs that matter for setup
- Radio: Zigbee; it talks to an Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub, not to Wi-Fi.
- Hub: Spec sheet: hub required (Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub). Sold without a hub.
- Local control: We found no Aqara US page on whether it keeps working through the hub without internet.
- Energy monitoring: Aqara says the app records the plugged-in appliance's power use on a daily and monthly basis.
- Max load: 1875 W, 15 A, 100-125 V AC, 60 Hz. One Aqara partnerships page shows 10 A / 2300 W, which matches the EU model, not this one.
Before you buy

- No Matter certification found for the plug itself; Aqara's Hub M3 can bridge Aqara Zigbee devices to Matter, but no Aqara page names this plug.
