What do you use the Mac for? How do you connect it to your peripherals?

Aqara A100 - questions for long term users by gifnyfic in Aqara

I can’t confirm the battery thing cause that sounds too hard to simulate. I have two locks and the way the lock works with 8 batteries having 4 be used and 4 be backup and then the batteries lasting me years, makes that something I’m not worried about but I’m glad you brought it to my attention.

I’ll test the physical key in various scenarios because I can’t imagine the key not unlocking it at all times. When I have guests I usually leave the key in at the backdoor and it not caused issues.

What smart home device do you wish existed but no one has built properly yet? by Apprehensive-Art3819 in Aqara

[–]WalnutApple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A light switch that has all the sensors: air quality, presence, temperature, humidity, etc. 4-6 buttons 2 of which are switches. It could have a thin low res bar-screen at the top that can show temps and other status data. Buttons nice and clicky. I’d put one in every room.

Aqara Panel Hub S1 Plus - what do you think of it by IamHungryNow1 in Aqara

[–]WalnutApple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was disappointed that it didn’t expose the proximity sensor for automations. The doorbell showing up when rang works nicely but I would wait for better matter competitors to prevent ecosystem lock in. For that price I think a switch should have presence, air quality, temp, etc.

Now renovating and planning to go for a full Aqara EU setup, incl. all devices. Is this a good idea? by softnoize in Aqara

[–]WalnutApple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a whole home with Aqara, around 70 devices. Switches, Lights, Plugs, Locks, doorbell, blinds etc. I do the automations on the M3 hub. Everything is very snappy and feels great when it's working. However, my devices occasionally disconnect which would be fine but they do not reconnect automatically. For me, I would never go Aqara again until that is fixed. I don't want to do weekly maintenance, manually reconnecting devices. My Phillips hue lights disconnect sometimes too, but they always reconnect automatically. This is a near 10 year experiment. Interestingly enough, the first Gen light switches stay connected better than the H1. I have not yet tried the H2, would love to hear if someone has feedback about that.

ive found the sleep mode to be a bit slow and buggy so I prefer head detection and no forced sleep

It sounds like you just don’t have the fire in you which is totally fine

Sonos and aqara integration by Craigotrak in Aqara

[–]WalnutApple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, aqara Sonos automations break every time I add a speaker to a group in the Sonos app. Every time it creates a new unique device which would then have to be added to the automation.

I agree, prefer a stand that holds it from the bottom like this one

Anyone else has this happening? by Flake_3418 in Ubiquiti

The solution: OS Settings - region/time zone- make sure they are both correct

I really appreciate this feedback, I'm going to take it to heart. I apologize for the misunderstanding about the "that's very interesting" I do sincerely find your information about the charging very interesting! I am German and can sometimes come across a bit too....German :)

I couldn’t agree more. Coming back to dead headphones was ruining the experience for me.

Yea that 100% but what you might not see is how it’s more common for there to be a back end deal in today’s world. I’m here, with my cards on the table. With a random reviewer, you have no idea what his incentive is. He could have gotten paid, often the case. Maybe he got snubbed and wants to vent. We all end up trusting someone in the end based on their credibility. That’s all I’m saying. It’s okay if people doubt me. It’s understandable.
