PROS: É um equipamento incrível. Tenho todo o ecossistema mijia de automação residencial, e esse cubinho e muito divertido.
Com ele criei cenas para minha sala de estar, girando para intensidade da luz, 90 graus para ligar e desligar, 180 para cena "filme", arrastar para ligar o ar.
Pode nao ser o item mais util da gama, mas certamente e um dos que mais impressiona quem ve. Alem de muito facil, minha filha de 2 anos sabe usar todos os comandos. Por falar em crianças, o cubo é muito resistente, ja caiu inúmeras vezes e nada.

CONTRA: Os comandos de empurrar/puxar, e o de rotacionar 180, nem sempre funciona, nao chega a incomodar, mas tem dias que sim.

Obs: existem alguns comandos que nao funcionam em todos dispositivos, exemplo, tive que mudar as lampadas da sala para funcionar a função girar para regular a intensidade. Pois apesar de serem reguláveis as lampadas Xiaomi Philips Smart LED Ball Lamp, nao aceitam essa função.

Vi vídeos en los que se veía el funcionamiento de este cubo Aqara y se me antojó.
el envío ha sido espectacularmente rápido. El vendedor me facilitó número de seguimiento y pude saber en cada momento donde estaba el paquete hasta que llegó.
venía bien protegido y aunque las instrucciones vienen en chino, ha sido muy fácil de configurar.
Lo he configurado para manejar una lámpara a la que he puesto dos bombillas yeelight color. Volcando el cubo 90° enciendo o apago la lámpara y lo mejor es que girando en cubo sin levantarlo de la mesa aumentó p disminuyó el brillo de las bombilla, según en el sentido que lo gire.
Si agitó el cubo enciendo y apago otra lámpara.
Tiene tres funciones más que ya veré para quédate utilizo, que son volverlo 180°, realizarlo sobre la mesa o el doble golpe.
Es un juguete muy divertido y que llama la atención.
Sin duda lo recomiendo.

Such an beautiful and useful gadget, i give it 5 stars because it earns it.
This is one very unusual and beautiful Xiaomi Aqara Cube Smart Home Controller remote.
It works like magic within the Xiaomi Aqara Smart Home system and i love it.
Guests always notice this little gadget and are wondering what it can be.
Answer: a smart controller for the lights and other Smart Home products in the house.
Always funny to watch when guests can't stop fooling around with this little cube and are flabbergasted when they see when a movement an Smart Home product triggers.
Only downside is that you will have to remember what movement is used for an light or other product and what this does :)

I don't use the Xiaomi Gateway so I don't know how well it functions with it. For my usage it works great with Home Assistant and NodeRed via zigbee2mqtt.

Pros:
-Nothing else quite like, it is a fun quality gadget
-Clean minimalist design
-With 3rd party automation software, the 6 possible actions open up triggers to do anything you want
-Great price from one of the top companies in China

Cons:
-Not really a con, but requires Xiaomi gateway if you don't have an alternate way to connect to it (example: Zigbee dongle with zigbee2mqtt)
-Takes about 5+ secs to wake up but after takes 2-3 seconds for actions to trigger until it goes to sleep (with DIY home automation). Wake up time may be different with Xiaomi Gateway
