Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 February 2024If you anything like me you watch YouTube and get caught up in what they tell you. This product looks exciting but there are plenty of 'issues'.
Unlike some I got it registered quickly and, after a brief amount of annoyance, worked out how to map my room. Will say, that could be made far easier to use and the stickers option is limited.
Initially it went up and worked well in the room we wanted it in, the kitchen, I even set two zones, but then it started mucking about a bit, so I moved it around a bit.
PRO TIP, I've had mine about two weeks and it's still stuck up with blue tack, be 100% sure it's were you want it before committing !
Anyway, the biggest issue we faced is we have a poxy hood hanging from our ceiling with interrupts vision around the kitchen in some places. We lowered it so it had vision then it started doing other odd things. It's obviously not the fault of Aqara we have big block in the kitchen, didn't cross our minds, but still though there was ample space for it to see someone.
After a lot of moving about we do have it in a good place where it does work as expected bar one blind spot in front of the fridge, but a slight movement qets it on.
The biggest annoyance was, but not so much now, was the ghosting, that is pretty bad at times, how it 'sees' people when they clearly aren't there is mad given it works on presence and has just left a person on the grid as they left the area as though it can't see it left. We have a medium sized dog also that sometimes sets it off, but mostly doesn't.
Also, even if the light gets 'stuck on' for a while the app seems to clear that ghost after about a minute.
It will drive you mad for sure but as stated I do now have it working as expected 95% of the time in a room with an obstruction.
100% not worth £89 for all the stress it causes but hopefully firmware etc will continue to improve use.
