[APP] Aqara & Xiaomi Smart Home - A different kind of Smart Home solution (Zigbee App)

[HPelgrum]

Hi,

I have bought the Aqara Wireless Wall Switch E1, but it won’t connect to Homey…
Homey adds it as a unknown Zigbee device with product ID “lumi.remote.acn003”

Any idea how I can connect it to Homey?

Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Harmen

Clearly Homey with it’s community developers who put so much love and effort in is not for you.
And clearly; Ted put a LOT more love and effort in than you:

I suggest to sell your Homey and switch to Telldus.
Bye!

@Provacs

in September but now we are in November

And maybe it will never come this year, you never know. BUT - I guess if there would be better candidate then TED, I think someone would already have submitted pull request on GitHub and guess what … nobody did that. But you can always donate and you never know - maybe it will change the priorities and speed of community developer, maybe not… but please, don’t troll.

Btw, aside of this E1, I see someone posted Add power outage memory to settings for MAEU01 , which some users might be interested about.

Great Ted with an update! Happy to see your alive
Keep up the good work and hope you have more time the coming weeks for more updates, keep it up!

Hello Ted thanks for the good work

The Roller shade driver E1 i have seen is added.

Will the Aqara curtain Driver E1 also be added??

Following previous expressed statements in this topic (expectation management):

Aqara & Xiaomi Smart Home - Zigbee App (v1.5.0)

Apologies for the long silent period. Due to other topics that required my personal attention over the last weeks and months, I was not able to put in the same amount of time and energy as I did before… after the holiday period, I will have more time available (and refreshed battery). I will not address al questions mentioned before. I’ve just released v1.4.2 toward the app store’s test environment (only). This version does not add support for new devices. It should fix the issues with the …

Aqara & Xiaomi Smart Home - Zigbee App (v1.5.0)

Thanks for thinking along… off course I am using multiple (even shared closed) sources while implementing a new device. But I also need to take into account the large user base (25000+ Installs), expecting full functionality once support for a device is added. From that perspective it is one of my app development fundamentals to only add support for devices when I have tested the device myself… I will add support for the FP1 (ordered), but to manage expectations it will be fourth in line: Aq…

In the priority setting of adding new Aqara devices I will focus on main stream Aqara devices in the EU sales area (main focus area of Homey) first.

Consequently the focus will be to integrate support for below devices first (parallel to bug fixing and minor feature implementations):

• Roller Shade Driver E1 (released in v1.5.0)
• Smart Roller Shade Controller (WIP, similar to Roller Shade Driver E1)
• Motion Sensor P1
• Curtain driver E1
• Radiator Thermostat E1

Off course I will take into account popular devices available outside the EU sales area (e.g. FP1 sensor) for the next integration steps.

Please note that the total Aqara portolio, as shown on the Chinese version of the site, is growing rapidly (300+ SKU’s).
Where some series of devices are exclusively available in China only.

I fully recognize that not everyone will agree to this order of adding device support, but I try to be transparent to manage everyone’s expectations.

Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 does not stop. It keeps rolling.
It is impossible to go to a surtain position.

[Jamesm2345]

Have you set the blind start and endpoint as per the instruction manual?

[Rob_Brans]

No I have not. I see that I should do that. I will do that and see if it works.
Thanks for your comment.

[Rob_Brans]

After setting the start and endpoint it works great.
Thanks!

@TedTolboom Thank you very much, just added 9 Aqara E1 Shade devices.

All were added without issue.

Thanks again, will add the remaining E1s tomorrow.

Hi! I’ve added 3 aqara e1 roller shades, all without any issues. Big thanks for the update!

Don’t know if i should post the following question in the group thread but since there’s most likely a few in this thread that has been waiting and now adding the E1 roller shade I’ll try here first. I tried making a group with these 3 roller shades using group but it couldn’t find any devices with “shade ability”. Has any one else tried to group several e1 roller shades and has any tips on how to do it, with or any other way?

More people who experience problems with the motion sensors? Since a couple of weeks/month the trigger not as reliable as before. All 4 sensors start doing this on exactly the same time, maybe because of an update of Homey? Because the Aqara app itself hasn’t been updated in over a year.

Anyone who encountered this problems has found a solution for this?

[ddijak]

haven’t notice any problems on my motion sensors. which app version are you running?

[Splendid]

1.4.1

[ddijak]

try updating the app

[Splendid]

1.4.1 is the latest version in the store…Maybe I have to test the 1.5 version which isn’t in the store yet.

[ddijak]

worth a try i guess

[RogerSt]

Thanks Ted for managing expectations - even if it means that I need to wait longer for FP1 support. Keep up the good work!

All my devices shows a ? on the “online” status - but they are still working

edit: now only the sleepy end devices shows a ?, and i think that is perfectly normal. Only the wired devices shows as online
