Questions about Aqara E1 Smart

Can I use this hub as a Zigbee transmitter on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Home Assistant so that I can easily control Hue, Grovee etc.?

The Aqara Hub E1 cannot be used directly as a Zigbee transmitter on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Home Assistant as it is not natively supported in Home Assistant. However, the Hub E1 is ideal for connecting Zigbee devices to the Aqara Home App and can be compatible with other smart home systems such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. To control Hue or other Zigbee devices via Home Assistant, other Zigbee adapters specifically designed for Home Assistant may be required.

I need to buy the Aqara Hub in order to make compatible with home kit or I can connect with the Philips Hue Bridge (zigbee). Thank you.

I doubt that this works with the Hue. With an Aqara hub for sure. I have connected all Hue and aqara via a homeassistant. Everything works together.

Good day I have Aquara sensors in my house and a hub M2. Since the sensors are far away, they keep losing the connection to the hub. Can I also integrate the Hub E1 and thus expand my Zigbee network in the sense of a mesh?

I have also done it this way and it works perfectly.

Can I use this hub as a zigbee range extender, i.e. plug it into the USB charger? I operate Home Assistant with a zigbee dongle and would like to operate additional zigbee devices upstairs. Or are there better solutions?
