  • Aqara (specially older devices) are known for being temperamental and not playing well with other hubs/devices. If you have each manufacturer on its own hub, make sure they are using separate channels. If everything else fails, 2.4GHz is also used for Bluetooth, microwaves and other, maybe your location has noise on that band,

    Z-Wave is using lower bands (800-900mhz depending on location) and certifying the devices better for software compatibility. It’s a fine solution as if it works for you, any limitations are basically theoretical (like the 200 devices).







  • One more opinion: 3km is definitely too far for groceries, that’s driving distance. It’s half an hour walking each way, the return loaded with bags? Forget about it.

    I live on the edge of a small-ish town and it takes me 15 min to the nearest supermarket, and that’s quite a lot, everyone on this streets bikes there, in about 5 min. From there towards the center you don’t need to walk more than 5 min to get groceries.

    I’d say having to walk more than a 10 minutes for groceries already affects the apartment value.
