Can you use Amazon Echo as hub or it needs an Aqara hub?

Your question isn’t very clear, but most Aqara devices need a Aqara Hub like this one to work with you smart network. An Amazon echo would only serve as a hub for your network I believe, where the Aqara Hub would connect to.

What's the difference between the gen 1 and this gen 2 m1s hub?

The 2nd generation allows you to upload custom audio for use in ringtones and automations.

How do you set up the hub without HomeKit? It says it supports IFTTT, but I'm stuck in setup because it's requiring access to HomeKit.

I used HomeKit to set mine up but I think you can use the Aqara app or Amazon Echo
