Review on 🔌 Aqara Smart Plug: Zigbee Enabled with Energy Monitoring, Overload Protection & Voice Control - Compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, & Apple HomeKit by Jared Tovar

It turns off twice when updating the firmware! I have my computers and stereo connected to this plug, so an unexpected power outage can result in data loss and speaker damage. It's not difficult to install. But it requires a hub device to work and it can't work on its own as it doesn't have a Wi-Fi chip. Also, you can't connect it in the Home app, you have to use the Aqara app instead. I used to buy smart home products from Xiaomi's parent brand Aqara which are sold at a lower price and don't have this stupid power cycle problem and have a built in Wi-Fi chip so it doesn't need such a hub to work. This time I came to Aqara for the HomeKit features, thinking it should be as reliable as other mainstream Xiaomi branded products. I think I'm just wrong.
