Methodology v1.0
3 change(s): 3 moderate | Durability score moderate due to being a recently launched product (2024) with early-stage software issues; insufficient long-term reliability data. Material quality appears standard for smart hub category but no specific teardown/material information available. Brand reputation signal lowered due to documented launch problems, compatibility issues, and incomplete feature implementation at release—though Aqara appears committed to post-launch fixes via firmware updates.
