That's great. I recently got a pet feeder from them. My main criteria was that it works with ZigBee and home assistant.

Every other I have tried ends up failing with communication with their back ends, inevitably leading to a piece of unmaintainable trash.

Aqara worked immediately out of the box. Connected to my home assistant within minutes.
