| Zigbee | Partly works Local | Dropped off network easily inside fridge/freezerSaved copy… going through deep freezes and fridges. Been there 3 months and the battery hasn’t moved, LE Bluetooth is nice with battery but still frequent updates. My Aqara zigbee ones would drop off the network easily and the update frequency were in the multiple minutes, which admittedly for a fridge I’d probably fine, but I was using them for controlling heat lamps for live stock, but the batteries would not last as long even with zigbee routers in the same room. Now I just go with the switchbots, reliable and low battery usage. Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2026-07 | |
| Zigbee | Partly works Local | Updates only after set time or large change; slow for dehumidifier controlSaved copyI'd replace the temp/humidity with third reality ones. Their polling is much more active so you'll get a more accurate reading. Aqara will only send updates after a certain time or after larger changes. I used to use an aqara sensor for my dehumidifier but it would take ages for it to update and either start running late or run too long Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2026-07 |

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.
