IN my own personal experience, if an Aqara device hasn't "checked in" in that length of time (>1 day), it is no longer on the zigbee mesh (even though it still shows up as a zigbee device.
In my humble opinion, the only way for those devices to stay on the zigbee mesh is to ensure that only certain zigbee devices are used as repeaters. (The only ones that I know that work are: Ikea repeaters, and the Ikea control outlet, and the Xbee).
As well, I have put together an adaptation of bryan turcott's fine program: Device Watchdog.
It checks for activity on my Aqara devices - if no activity (or checkin) in the last 2 hours - it probably is off!
