Bought 3 Xiaomi Aqara motion a few months back- they will not play nice when home power has been lost. Two of them cannot restore by resetting, deleting, or waking up.
Anyone seeing this with these devices?
While deleting and restoring is not a deal breaker, they will simply no longer work after that. I’m also seeing their price increase- so I need to decide whether or not they worth what I’m allegedly saving by buying them at a low price.
I’d be interested to see if others are seeing this, your thoughts, and what are some evaluation of these devices.
So, if you’re making that decision, consider Xiaomi devices are not compliant to Zigbee HA protocols. They’re designed to work with thier own devices - and they don’t really play well with others. There’s a TON of info on the community site where you’ll see lots of people going to great lengths to FORRCE them to work by buying specific repeaters and using specific device handlers to modify the device behavior.
In short - if it were my decision to make - I’d go a different direction.
