I have an Aqara M2 hub, some switches, door contact sensors and a couple of motion sensors. The switches are paired to my Home Assistant Yellow directly but the sensors seem to be paired with the hub and available in HA via the HomeKit Controller integration.
It seemed easier to use the sensors with the hub for the alarm functionality but am I missing out on anything by not having them paired directly with the Yellow?
Would an IKEA Tradfri signal repeater help with boosting the connection between the sensors and the hub? I’ve seen it mentioned that Aqara’s Zigbee implementation is somewhat restrictive, so perhaps I would need one of their devices instead?
