Does not meet my expectations, it was not worth buying.

The fact that it arrived in a non-working condition, the package had been opened, and the battery had fallen down to 0 percent before use cast a shadow over the purchase. It would appear like someone has switched out the battery. Even when utilizing the cube, the manufacturer guarantees that the battery will last for a full 2 years. As a consequence of this, purchasing a battery adds an additional 250 to the total cost.

Pros
  • The remote control is attractive and comfortable, and it functions without a hitch.

Upset and disappointed, product is very bad!

The item arrived broken, the packaging had been damaged, and the battery had drained to zero, all of which cast a pall over the purchase. It looks like someone switched out the battery. Even with regular use, the maker claims the cube's battery will last for 2 years. Therefore, getting a battery entails added effort and $250 in cost.

Pros
  • Very convenient and attractive remote control that performs admirably.

I definitely do not advise buying, the product disappointed.

The fact that it arrived broken, the package was opened, and the battery was at 0% cast a shadow over the purchase. The battery appears to have been changed. The maker guarantees a battery life of two years, even when utilizing the cube. Therefore, purchasing a battery adds time and $250 to the price.

Pros
  • Stylish and comfortable remote that operates perfectly.

Not at all what I expected.Terrible!

The fact that it was broken upon arrival (the box had been opened, the battery had drained to zero) cast a pall over the entire transaction. Someone, it seems, has swapped out the batteries. Even with regular use, the maker claims the cube's battery will last for 2 years. Therefore, the cost of replacing a battery is not just 250 dollars, but also time.

Pros
  • The remote is sleek and ergonomic, and it performs admirably.

I like everything, the price and quality are acceptable.

the first month it was still lying on the table and was in demand more as a joke for guests! . then it was covered with small scratches and scuffs on the edges. and then it ceased to be relevant and was thrown into a desk drawer! All. with voice control, this gadget is absolutely useless!

I definitely do not advise buying, the product disappointed.

The purchase was overshadowed by the fact that it came in a non-working condition, the box was opened, the battery sat down to 0. It seems that someone replaced the battery. The manufacturer even when using the cube promises a battery life of 2 years. As a result, buying a battery is time and another 250 to the price.

Pros
  • Comfortable, stylish remote control, works flawlessly.

Favorite smart home device.

This is my favorite way to control a smart home system. I have this on Home Assistant with a Raspberry Pi and Zigbee running through conbee2 to activate scenes, control lights, close garage doors and lock doors. Adding to DECONZ was easy, multiple automation plans are available making it easy to assign actions to a cube. I haven't used the Cube with the aqara hub, but as far as I can tell, Home Assistant has more options for triggers than using the hub.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Blank

Frustration Level - 10

Purchased to add to my homekit - Home Assistant. After a week of trying to get it to work I gave up. I can add it to the Aqara app and you can set some very simple automata that run inside the app but nothing outside of the app. So if you have a house made entirely of Akara (who's in their right mind?) then you can activate this accessory. There are many videos and guides on Youtube on Github, home-assistant.io etc. but they are all outdated. One way is to download the hub in the Mi Home app…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Works well with Home Assistant

Bought this cube as a small home automation controller. I'm tired of opening the Home Assistant app to turn an automation on or off. Pairing with the ZHA Home Assistant integration is pretty easy. Then watch zha events to get all possible events from that cube. The event contains an integer that indicates the action. There are 44 different possible actions (can be used as a binary trigger) and a floating point event. Convert the integer to octal, then you can use the following rules to…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Modern

I love it!: Home automation devices

For smart wall switch: The product appearance is much better than my original one. It's quick and easy to install. The voice control makes it much more convenient for me. I no longer stumble blindly in the dark for the light switch. Instead, the app allows me to remotely control the switch. Sometimes at night I hear a strange noise in the living room, but instead of going to the living room to turn on the light, I can turn on the light from the bedroom with my phone. Apparently it can be used…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Very good smart switch compared to other smart switches

I had several smart switches at home and loved them. They can be controlled by time, scenes, and other interactions. My sister was inspired and wanted to replace her old light switch with a smart one, but all smart switches require 3 load, natural, and ground wires to work. My sister has an old house where there is only a load and ground, there is no neutral. I saw an advertisement for this smart switch, it doesn't require a natural wire. This is perfect for my sister's house. Installation is…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Fair

Slightly inconvenient if you don't use an Aquara hub, but still interesting

I connected it to a Hubitat hub, not an Aquara hub, so that's probably affecting my experience with the device. It's REALLY cute and fun, but its use is somewhat limited if you have to consider the device's "fatigue" (some actions don't work reliably). I use it as a small power cube - I used to do vinyl labels. with my Cricut for each page and use the "Knock" function to set a variable to show up in my toolbar so I can use it as a task counter. The "knock" feature seems least likely to be…

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Only available in white

EDIT JULY 2021: With Home Assistant automation, setup is now a breeze. Just search "Aqara Cube Blueprint" and voila! It offers 51 unique promotions! Wonderful! where to start Okay, there are some minor issues with this device. First, Revain hasn't invented instant delivery yet. I mean come on How difficult it can be. Aside from getting serious for a minute, the pairing was a pain. I had to try several times. When I got it working I didn't feel like I did anything differently, but it just…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable
