14dMy impressions of the Aqara Homekit Doorbell G4

Even if you have wired doorbell capabilities, the Aqara doorbell might be worth considering. Its easy installation, battery-powered option, and compatibility with HomeKit make it a great addition to any smart home.
My biggest complaint so far has to be the battery life. I’m having to change the batteries almost weekly. I don’t know if it is an issue with my doorbell or with the type of batteries I'm using but it has been very annoying.
What I liked:
- Super easy to install
- Battery powered option
- Easy access to batteries while mounted
- Customizable settings via Aqara app
- The ringtone does not startle my dog like other doorbells
- Looks great
What could be better:
- The batteries don’t last too long
- The quality of materials looks cheap
- The angle of the camera does not work well for package detection
- The adhesive to the wall fell off after the first month; I recommended using command strips instead
I go more in depth in my website if you are interested!
