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.
Wait 5 seconds to enjoy the scenery.
Anyway, like I thought earlier. I should definitely solve the puzzle like this.
Also the undersea cables.
“This is my very special extra long salute I reserve for the especially important, sir.”
The benefit is also it's curse. It's all open, so there can be a bunch of names and a bunch of apps. Nobody agrees what the best app is.

I started D&D with the family over quarantine. They had a quest to clear the goblins out of a mine. They got inside and dealt with most of them. They over powered three of them and tied them up, so that they could be interrogated.
My 9 year old then decides he wants to murder them.
Our faces when we realised our child was a murderhobo.
As a developer, this is the answer. I can't wait for the day I can finally stop supporting old Amazon Kindle devices.
And just to piggyback on this comment, I'm an Android developer and we this information is critical for determining similarities for bug solving.
You would not believe how often there is a bug caused by a specific model of phone. That connection you can only know if you log that for every crash you get.
