With the advantage of ZigBee, even if the Wi-Fi in the home is unstable, the linkage between smart accessories can still work normally. Finally, this device comes with a battery which can last for at least 2 years.
on what store is this availible I was not able to find it on any of the common online stores that sell aquara products and in the article there is only a screeshot and no link.
It is available on Xiaomi Youpin. Here https://youpin.mi.com/detail?gid=102856
Problem is that Xiaomi Youpin only ships within China and the wwebsite is in Chinese. However, most Xiaomi Home product first appear on Xiaomi Youpin and a few days/weeks later, they find their way into the “common online stores” you are referring to.
