Below are some screenshots, pair the Aqara M3 hub to Aqara Home app first.
Then use the hub M3 Matter code from the app and add to Hubitat.
Once added, change the driver to built in "Generic Matter Bridge" or use the custom "Matter Advanced Bridge" driver.

When I try that, this is what happens:
I have rebooted both hubs just in case. Same LAN.
Thank you! After trying 20+ times, it connected.

are you using the Zigbee on the M3? and how is the other mfg. Zigbee device support on the M3?
I have some Aqara Zigbee devices on the M3 hub which I bring into Hubitat via the Matter Advanced driver.
I guess M3 supports only Aqara zigbee devices and all Matter devices.
I use Aqara Hub M3 as a backup system, where the lighting automations continue to run if Hubitat is down (Hue bridge via Matter).
