[APP] amina - Power up your smart home with Amina S

I have an issue adding the amina s charger to my homey pro 2023.

What I have done:

  1. Update firmware of amina s via Device manager to version 1.34.1
  2. Power off, selection wheel to 0, power on, slow blink, power off selection wheel to 16 amp, power on
  3. Start Homey app and add amina s app.
  4. Installation starts, error appears: Please try later

In dev tools I saw an unknown node with manufacturer amina. However: linking did not work out…

I restarted homey pro and tried another install, with the same outcome…

After this I tried linking the amina s app to a homey bridge (which was not integrated in the homey pro network). There the app did find homey bridge and could be installed. I thought this might be due to a less good zigbee network so I integrated the homey bridge to homey pro and tried to connect the amina s tot homey pro again (again after a reset of homey pro). Without succes, again. Error…

Homey pro is running on latest version.

As Homey bridge did work and home pro does not, I expect an issue with Homey…

Any ideas what could be the issue and how to solve?

Thank you!

New OTA

Tricky one…

Is it long distance from charger to to Homey Pro?

Are there Zigbee units close to the charger?

Firmware upgrade of the Amina is normally not done via zigbee but via bluetooth.

And it required a specific app.

So dont think OTA will work.

See

Previous it was anly via Bluetooth. Now it can be done from Homey directly via Zigbee.

Thanks for your reply Tinge!

I have tried connecting homey pro on the same location as the homey bridge. Currently I use my homey bridge (stand alone) to steer the amino… (I also tried to connect the homey pro next to the amino pro, without success).

I have 23 zigbee devices in my homey pro network of which 3 are unknown nodes and 1 is my homey pro. Maybe this is too much?

My outtake is that it is either an hardware issue in my homey pro as the homey bridge is connecting and running the app without issues or I just have too many zigbee devices installed on my Homey pro…

Are non of these powered (220v)?

If you have multiple powered devices it should not be a problem (powered devices will enlarge the network)

Where did you read this? Have not found it yet..

Some clarification, do you have the old Homey (befor the 2023). That one do not support OTA.

And also the old Homey has limited Zigbee connections. If to many are directly connected i refuse to add more.

Maby try to remove some of them and see if amina S do connect then?

I have a homey pro early 2023. This will be my new project for this Sunday! Remove some zigbee devices…

Several 240v devices and several sensors. One 240 zigbee device is near the amino s. I will test if reducing the sensor network has any effect. (If it remains dry this Sunday).

Thanks for your feedback!

With Homey 2023 it should not be any problem.

Maby the unknown zigbee units do mess up something? Could be worth deleting those and try?

Myself have a Homey 2023 with approx 50 zigbee devices and 40 zwave. I have done OTA of amina S with this setup.

OTA are shown under “Device Updates” in Settings tab.

In my case there are two Namron units that will not update for some reason.

All awailable updates should pop up here.

Have OTA several Ikea units and other sensors.

In the amina S app store it states it. Not explity saying OTA tough…
