I regret buying some aqara stuff like cameras, presence sensors, and water leak sensors. Although they work decent in their own ecosystem, in HA, they are pure trash. Afara is known for trying really hard to make you locked in their own ecosystem by limiting a lot of functions when exposed over matter/homekit/google. Can't wait to change them all, but I haven't found a presence sensor yet that can match FP2.

Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
