Hey , Drop in and share a bit of my recent obsession with the Aqara Developer Hub. When I first stumbled into home automation, I could barely spell “API,” let alone make sense of Zigbee clusters or custom device handlers. Fast forward a few weeks, and here I am writing my own scripts, testing beta features, and actually enjoying debugging Zigbee traffic (who even am I?).
What really made the difference was how surprisingly approachable the Dev Hub is. It’s not just for hardcore coders. Even as someone with only basic Python knowledge, I was able to create a scene that dims my lights, locks the door, and lowers the blinds all based on ambient light + occupancy + time—it felt like a mini victory every time it worked flawlessly.
My biggest advice? Get comfortable with the online docs, poke around in Dev Mode, break things (and fix them), and ask dumb questions. Seriously, the community and GitHub issues page have been lifesavers.
Anyone else here deep into the Developer Hub world? Would love to hear what creative automations you’ve cooked up. Let’s geek out.
