How to Check for an Outage and Fix It (2026)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>If every Aqara device drops offline at once \u2014 sensors, the hub, and the app all showing &#8220;unreachable&#8221; at the same time \u2014 check for a regional cloud outage before you reset anything.<\/strong> A real Aqara server-side outage looks completely different from a local network problem, and the fix for each is the opposite of the other: one you wait out, the other you fix on your own router or hub.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to tell which one you&#8217;re dealing with in under two minutes, and what to actually do about each.<\/p>\n<h2>Is this an Aqara outage, or a problem on your network?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The tell is whether local control still works.<\/strong> Aqara&#8217;s hubs (including the Hub M3) keep some automations running locally even when Aqara&#8217;s cloud servers are down \u2014 so if a Zigbee sensor still triggers a locally-paired light or lock during the &#8220;outage,&#8221; the problem is Aqara&#8217;s servers, not your home network. If nothing responds at all, including local Zigbee-to-Zigbee automations on the same hub, the fault is more likely your Wi-Fi, your router, or the hub itself.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cloud outage signs:<\/strong> the Aqara app shows devices as offline everywhere, remote\/away-from-home control fails, but anything wired directly through the hub locally still works.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Local network signs:<\/strong> only some devices drop, everything on one side of the house is affected, or the hub itself disappears from your router&#8217;s device list.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How do you check for a live Aqara outage?<\/h2>\n<p>Aqara doesn&#8217;t publish a single official public status page the way larger cloud services do, so the fastest checks are third-party and community-run:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Check Aqara&#8217;s own community forum<\/strong> \u2014 regional cloud disruptions get reported and acknowledged there, often within the first hour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Search a third-party outage tracker<\/strong> for &#8220;Aqara&#8221; \u2014 these aggregate user reports in real time and are usually faster than official channels for spotting a spike.<\/li>\n<li><strong>See our <a href=\"https:\/\/domoviq.com\/brand-status-pages\/\">brand status pages directory<\/a><\/strong> for direct links to Aqara&#8217;s forum and the official status pages for Ring, Wyze, SmartThings, Apple Home, and more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try a different account region if you travel<\/strong> \u2014 Aqara&#8217;s servers are split by region (mainland China, US, and others), so an outage on one server doesn&#8217;t necessarily affect all Aqara users worldwide at once.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you confirm it&#8217;s a server-side outage, there&#8217;s nothing to fix on your end \u2014 it resolves when Aqara&#8217;s infrastructure comes back, typically within a few hours for a regional incident.<\/p>\n<h2>It&#8217;s not an outage \u2014 now what?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Work through the hub and network basics before touching individual sensors.<\/strong> Most &#8220;Aqara is down&#8221; reports that turn out to be local problems come down to one of these:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hub lost Wi-Fi:<\/strong> check your router&#8217;s connected-devices list for the Aqara hub specifically \u2014 if it&#8217;s not listed, it&#8217;s dropped off your network, not Aqara&#8217;s cloud.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Band or channel issue:<\/strong> Aqara hubs use 2.4GHz only. If your router recently switched to a &#8220;smart connect&#8221; combined SSID, the hub can lose its assigned band. Manually pin it to 2.4GHz.<\/li>\n<li><strong>App cache or login token:<\/strong> force-close and reopen the Aqara app, or log out and back in \u2014 a stale session token is a common cause of &#8220;everything offline&#8221; that isn&#8217;t actually a network or server problem.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Firmware stuck mid-update:<\/strong> a hub that loses power during a firmware update can appear fully offline. Check for a slow-blinking status LED, which usually indicates recovery mode.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>See our full guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/domoviq.com\/smart-home-devices-keep-going-offline\/\">fixing smart home devices that keep going offline<\/a> for the router-level fixes (band steering, DHCP conflicts, channel selection) that apply to Aqara&#8217;s Wi-Fi hubs the same way they do to any other brand.<\/p>\n<h2>Does Aqara still work locally during a cloud outage?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Partially, and only if you&#8217;ve set it up that way in advance.<\/strong> Zigbee devices paired directly to an Aqara hub can keep running hub-based automations (motion triggers a light, a contact sensor triggers a lock) without reaching Aqara&#8217;s servers at all, since the Zigbee mesh and the automation logic both live on the hub itself. What breaks during a cloud outage: remote\/away-from-home control, voice assistant integration (Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home all route through Aqara&#8217;s cloud for third-party bridging), and push notifications. If you want more automations to survive a cloud outage, keep them defined as hub-local Zigbee routines rather than cloud-based routines that call out to Alexa or Google Home partway through.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Is Aqara down right now?<\/h3>\n<p>Check Aqara&#8217;s community forum or a third-party outage tracker for the most current reports \u2014 outages are typically regional and resolve within a few hours, and there&#8217;s no single official global status page to check directly.<\/p>\n<h3>Why did all my Aqara devices go offline at the same time?<\/h3>\n<p>This usually means either a regional Aqara cloud outage or your hub losing its Wi-Fi connection. Check whether hub-local automations still work \u2014 if they do, it&#8217;s a cloud issue; if nothing responds, it&#8217;s your network.<\/p>\n<h3>Do Aqara automations still run without internet?<\/h3>\n<p>Automations that stay entirely within the Aqara hub&#8217;s local Zigbee network can keep running without internet access.
