Easy setup with HomeKit but not reliable enough

I liked that while the aqara ecosystem is extremely accessible and supports HomeKit directly. There's a variety of sensors, and the hub seems to work fairly well for communicating with devices over a wide area. However, it seems that HomeKit shuts down every few days and needs to be restarted. The app works well, so integration with HomeKit seems dubious. As this is marketed as a security system, reliability is an absolute must.

Pros

Lots of positive vibes

Cons
