Thank you. That isn't a big deal on selecting the manual device. I and I am sure others appreciate the quick help.

I was seeing occasional dropouts on a couple Zigbee aqara devices and added the M100 as a matter bridge to my C5, bringing the sensors in that way. Everything has been solid. Well worth the $23 for the bridge.

Thanks, I've decided against the Aqara M3. Don't really have any need for it and it doesn't seem to provide any advantages except for older versions of Aqara devices that might fall off the network. Which I don't have.
You sure about that?

Someone else suggested that older Aqara devices had known connectivity issues which is why I mentioned the "older" models. The Aqara mini switches I'm using are newer. I got them for $9 straight from China which took close to a month! Hopefully they were temporary glitches. They have worked consistently before and after they glitched. Time will tell.
@mike.maxwell @bobbyD I finally was able to sit down this weekend and I can confirm that after switching the water leak sensors over to the Generic Component Water Leak Sensor they do report wet/dry and do report battery. Also, the two locks I have are reporting battery as well.
Thank you all so much for work on this it really helped clean things up visually and helped me reduce my device count by roughly 20 devices.
A couple things I did notice though. I have an Aqara temp/humidity sensor brought in by the M2 hub and it does not show battery. It brings the two measurements in as seperate devices with no battery on either. Also, I have the Aqara water shutoff valve as well brought into HE via matter and the M2. It comes over as a generic switch so I know there won't be a battery readout as I know switches typically doesn't have batteries however, this is a battery device.
For me this really isn't an issue on either of these devices but I wanted to let you know what I see in case it is an issue for someone else out there.
Again. Thank you for all your help.
