Central dashboard for multiple Aqara M2 hubs in different countries (EU + China regions)

Configuration
1

Dear forum friends,

I have three Aqara Hub M2 units installed at different physical locations. One Sweden and two in Thailand. I boought a G5 PRO camera and some sensors online and when delivered it turns out they are regional locked to China. I am trying to have a work around for this. Below is my plan. Please help me understand if it can work and if any of you out there are already running a similar setup.

Currently:

  • 3 × Aqara Hub M2. 1 set to Sweden. 2 set to Thailand.
    Each hub is already working correctly in Aqara Home under its respective region/account and I switch home in the Aqara app.

New setup to solve China issue with G5 camera and sensors:

  • 1 × Aqara Hub M2 set to Sweden (EU region)
  • 1 × Aqara Hub M2 set to Thailand
  • 1 × Aqara Hub M2 in Thailand (set to China Mainland region)
  • 1 × Home Assistant Green in Sweden (importing data from all 3 units in to one dashboard)

I want to merge the hubs by setting up one of the hubs for China Mainland to be able to use my G5 PRO camera and the faulty sensors. Then importing all data from each hub in to “one central monitoring dashboard” using the Home Assistant Green where I can view sensor data (temperature, humidity, water leak, device status) from all hubs at once.

I also use a Plejd system in two of the houses (one Sweden, one Thailand) and a Shelly EM to monitor electric consumption in Thailand. If these data could be imported in to the same dashboard it would be great but not necessary. The Aqara M2 and G5 PRO camera is the main reason for this workaround.

My current plan is:

  • Keep each hub on its correct region and Aqara account
  • Run a single Home Assistant instance (e.g. Home Assistant Green) in Sweden
  • Use the Aqara cloud integration to log into both Aqara accounts and read/sync sensor data only
  • Use Home Assistant purely as an aggregated dashboard and alerting layer (no hub control, no re-pairing, no local Zigbee access)

I understand this is not an officially documented Aqara setup, and I am not trying to bypass region restrictions or replace Aqara Home. The goal is only centralized visibility across locations.

I would appreciate feedback from anyone who has:

  • Used multiple Aqara hubs across regions with a single Home Assistant instance
  • Experienced limitations, rate limits, or reliability issues with Aqara cloud access
  • Recommendations on best practices for this kind of multi-site monitoring setup

Thanks in advance for any insights!!!

Are VPNs the solution to this problem?
Had a similar thorny problem with an integration where the author was in the EU time zone, and AWS load balancing forced his US counterparts to an US AWS instance, and Asian counterparts to China, and authentication on one server didn’t replicate to the others. Maybe you are having similar issues, often blamed on Cloudflare?

Thanks for thinking togheter with me on this problem! Sorry if my post wasn’t clear on that the system works just fine as it is now. Apart from having to switch home in the Aqara app to see each sensor. The problem is the geo locked Aqara G5 pro camera and the 4 additional Aqara T1 sensors that turned out to be china mainland server only compatible. If I put one of the M2 hubs on the china server then I will have to log in and out of the aqara app to switch between homes since china is separated from my log in for Thailand and Sweden. One option is to just accept the loss and sell of the camera and sensors, buy new ones that are EU server compatible and continue using the Aqara app. Investing in a Home Assistant Green has the benefit of being slightly less money to invest then the expected loss due to resell and rebuy camera but would also bring the added benefit of a unified dashboard for all homes. So that is the reason why I want to find out if the Aqara api can be imported to HA. With the possible upside to also import my Shelly EM electricity consumption data to HA. But I am a newbie on this so help is much appreciated. Thanks!
