This is tptally wrong - I need to control Ikea Lights, Xiaomi smart vacuum and use Aquara to control blinds and a third company for radiator valves - well guess what, you are going to need 4 separate hubs and the only way they can talk to each other is through the internet. It doesn't matter how much money you spend, Iot shit is not inter-compatiable and no one company makes everything.

Some Aquara products are also just zigbee, and will support matter so any Matter or Zigbee hub will work with them. Not sure sure about the Xiaomi Of course the vendors will try to sell you a hub, but you can connect just about any zigbee device to any zigbee hub
