That IP65 label on your smart device actually means something 👀 IP stands for Ingress Protection. Simply put, it tells you how well a device can handle dust and water. And for outdoor smart home gear, that rating matters more than most people realize. An IP65 rating means the device is fully protected against dust and can withstand water jets from any direction. That’s exactly why products like the Aqara Hub G5 Pro are built for real outdoor conditions. Think rain, wind, and everyday exposure, no babying required 🌧️💨 As Bertel King explains, “IP65 tends to be enough for smart home products, since they’re rarely the type of device that finds themselves underwater.” Thanks @MatterAlphaHome for including Aqara in this great breakdown. Full story here ⬇️ matteralpha.com/explainer/wh…
