Thoughts on C8 and the release too soon?

Not trying to downplay the less than optimal experience that some users had to go through. We've posted a warning early on when incidents related to Zigbee migration started to come through. Our engineers have been working to resolve these issues, although some incidents are still under investigation.

However, Aqara devices in particular, have not been tested by our engineers on the C-8 (or any Hubitat Elevation hub for that matter), as they have been problematic on all Hubitat Elevation models in part due to their use of some non-standard Zigbee extensions. We were hoping that the new Zigbee 3.0 in the Hubitat Elevation C-8 will be able to handle these devices better, but based on the increased number of reports that we are seeing, these devices perform even worse on the C-8 than previous models.
