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

[Daniel_S]

Hi Ted. Many thanks for the double relay done. I know you will enable flows for both channels soon however is there any way to create “duplicate” device. I refer also to Google Home when it synchronizes only one device which means it will always control only one channel. Do you see any way? Thanks anyway.

This is a response to a relay controller and my aqara vibration sensor is not working any more since the last release : Wink:

Check who he was responding to. Try to wake up the vibration sensor by pressing the button 1 time.
When updating the app / Homey, this occasionally happens.

Hi Ted. Many thanks for the double relay done. I know you will enable flows for both channels, but there is no need to duplicate the device. I would also like it when it synchronizes only one channel. Do you see any way?

Not in the current Zigbee core. Unlike Z-wave, Zigbee does not support multi channel nodes.
Best option is to create a virtual switch and link it to the second switch through flows (once the app is updated to fix the mentioned issue)

[Daniel_S]

Good tip. Thank you

[TedTolboom]

Add support for the new Aqara curtain controllers:
In order to be able to add support for the Aqara B1 Curtain Controller and possible the new Aqara roller curtain controller I will need to have access to these devices myself, to add reverse engineer the drivers for these devices and add support for them in the app.

Therefore I would like to call for support of the community to enable adding support for these additional devices by making a paypal contribution .

Based on the feedback received, I would like to set the following sequential goals:

1. Add support for the Aqara B1 Curtain Controller : 110 euro
2. Add support for the Aqara roller curtain controller : 80 euro

Please note that, despite asking for a community contribution, this still remains a personal project in my spare time (next to a full time job). For these reasons, I will not be able to provide a clear timeline / commitment when support will become available.
If for e.g. private reasons, I will not be able to complete or abandon these goals, I will gladly forward these devices to another developer able to continue this app…

In the opening post of this topic, and in this comment, I will track the status of these donations / goals. Contributors will be honored in the release of the app update adding support for these devices.

Update on the contributions received; the first goal in reach

1. Add support for the Aqara B1 Curtain Controller : contributions received 92,50 out of target of 110 euro
   Mentioning specifically the B1 curtain controller:

   • @Homey_Lampje

   Not mentioning specifically the B1 curtain controller (allocated to the first target):

   • @hannes.reloaded

2. Add support for the Aqara roller curtain controller : 80 euro

Since the 0.6.0 update I have to reboot homey several times a day. All the Xiaomi stuff is unresponsive and other zigbee devices are unresponsive as well.
I’m not sure if the update causes these problems, but I’m encountering these issues since Thursday, the day the app got its update.
Tried ptp (30 mins) already, and changed the power supply.
Am I the only one? Or does anyone having these same symptoms?

Did you include the Aqara Relay to your Homey?

[Axel_Baas]

Nope. Just motion, temperature and door sensors. Oh and some powersockets.

[Daniel_S]

Hi, my app Xiaomi zigbee 0.6.0 has crashed this morning. I added relay yesterday.

[TedTolboom]

Received the crash reports from you @Daniel_S.
Will include a fix, lifeline report parser trying to parse malformed data, in the v0.6.1 update of the app.

[TedTolboom]

@Daniel_S these issues are fixed in the v0.6.1 release currently available on GitHub.

I’ve updated the app update on the app store, while still waiting for approval of Athom, to include this fix. Added item to the changelog:

• Fix issues where the lifeline reportParser is causing a crash of the app

[Daniel_S]

Thanks for your job.

[Kjelle]

Thank’s a lot for the update on vibration sensor in insights Ted! Very much appreciated!

[TedTolboom]

v0.6.1 is available in the app store.

@TedTolboom

Best option is to create a virtual switch and link it to the second switch through flows (once the app is updated to fix the mentioned issue)

@TedTolboom
Thanks for adding the relay!
I have included mine, and it shows as one device.
That devise has the following flow actions:

Sorry for asking this, where to find the second switch?
I only have 1 device and the flow options do not show Left / Right or Switch 1 and Switch 2. If I open the device in the Android App, I do see ‘switch 1’ and ‘switch 2’ available in settings.

[TedTolboom]

@Eternity

Sorry for asking this, but how do I control both relays?

One flow with in THEN the “Zet uit” (read for the left switch) & “Zet uit (rechter schakelaar)” action cards?

[Eternity]

Thanks for answering while I was still correcting my spelling
In the THEN section the relay only shows these options:

So, only 1 option to OFF the relay. Not two (L and R)
