Matter upgrade gave my Aqara devices a huge boost, sharing my experience!

Everything Matter

Hey guys! Just wanted to share how the Matter update completely transformed my Aqara setup. My motion sensors used to have like 1-2 seconds delay, but now they’re instant - like magic! The best part? All my Aqara stuff finally plays nice with my Nest thermostat and Philips lights without any janky workarounds.

I was kinda nervous about the update process but it was surprisingly smooth. Just had to reset a couple devices and re-add them through the new Matter pairing mode. The reliability improvement is no joke - my automations actually work consistently now instead of failing randomly.

Anyone else seeing major improvements after switching to Matter? Curious if you’ve noticed different benefits with specific Aqara devices. My door sensors seem way more responsive too. Let’s compare notes!

Pro tip: Make sure your hub firmware is fully updated before starting the Matter migration. Saved me a ton of headache.
