Most of the earlier Aqara devices state that they only work with the Aqara hub. The newer devices state that they are Zigbee 3.0 and require a Zigbee 3.0 hub,but not necessarily an Aqara hub. So presumably they can be made to work with the Hubitat C8 once suitable drivers are developed. Only time will tell if Aqara has fully inplemented all aspects of the Zigbee 3.0 protical.
The Zigbee 3.0 protocol is supposed to be backwards compatible with earlier Zigbee standards, but there was a recent post by staff indicating that NYCE Zigbee 1.2 devices won't work with any Zigbee 3.0 hub. Fortunately, the staff were able to modify the C8 firmware to allow it to recognize the legacy NYCE devices.
This just indicates that not every manufacturer implements the Zigbee standards perfectly. If they did, all Zigbee devices would work with all hubs.
