Aqara Hub / Xiaomi Hub Connection
These are the xiaomi smart home devices which require a hub to work. The setup sometimes requires 2-3 attempt to connect. Cus the hub could not detect it even within close proximity. But there are also times that it will connect at first attempt.

Device Idling Aqara Wireless Switch
All devices work best if used frequently but if you go on a holiday or if you have not used it for a while. It goes into an idling mode. If it has a button, I’ll keep pressing it to revive it or I will just have to go through the whole setup again.

Bathroom Aqara Wall Switch
Earlier this year, I did the setup video on this wall switch. So far it works really well. Maybe a 4-5 seconds latency on the app at times. There is no problem with the switch and it doesn’t really flicker with the T5. But with this LED it flickers maybe once a month.

However I have more issues with the wireless switches…

Camera Buffering and wouldn’t connect at times.
