I did, and then I learned Aqara (non zigbee 3.0) sensors don’t follow the zigbee standard. This info can be found in the ZHA documentation and on every Aqara device page in the blakadder zigbee database. Basically they don’t play nice with many routers and drop off and become unavailable. I had fantastic results moving all Aqara to their own zigbee network. They are fantastic sensors if you can accommodate them.

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.
