If it doesn’t blink at all obviously the battery or the sensor is dead. It can be due to frost between the contacts and the battery. Leave it without battery until it is on room temp and the moist is gone and try again.
It should blink twice to indicate it is (still) connected to a controller. And it also should update the readings if it is in reach of the controller.
If it blinked twice and didn’t update, bring it closer to Homey and try it again.
If it blinks once, there is something wrong and i am afraid that the only way to use it again is remove and re-add it to Homey.
Is there a way to get the Aqara double switch to reconnect to homey without having to remove it? re-adding is not the problem, but having to rebuild the flows is so annoying.
every now and then one of the two switches (both sides of the bed 1x double switch) stop functioning. This happens after a normal homey restart. Theres Ikea zigbee spots in all rooms of the house, including bedroom. they are always powered. i ‘‘cant’’ simply believe this is a Zigbee mesh problem.
It seems that its problem of Aqara and Homey compatibility, maybe linked to zigbee issue. I had exactly the same problem with aqara switch, I replaced it with Fibaro dimmer (I dont have N wire in one room).
Certainly. but the cube is Aqara zigbee, exact same as my wall switches (laying flat on my night shelf) . The problem is that they ocasionally stop communicating. I’m just annoyed by it but obviously the girlfriend wants to get rid of it.
Make sure you add a Zigbee repeater in case the switches don’t work.
Typically any 230V powered Zigbee device is a repeater, like an Ikea smart plug for instance. Or any other brand smart plug, or lamps, etc…
My first floor consists of a small hallway with 4 Zigbee spots directly connected to homey.
we have three rooms attached all with at least 2 zigbee spots, but most have four.
They are always active. all of these are connected to 220VAC, this automatically also means they are a repeater, correct?
Yes, they are.
As long as they’re not powered off by a traditional switch.
You might wanna check https://developer.athom.com/tools/zigbee for how your Zigbee network is performing amd if a mesh is made.
(please wait a few minutes after opening the url. It takes some while before it shows the mesh…
Ik have a number of WSDCGQ11LM sensors, and they ALL (except the one that is located < 1 m from my Homey) loose the connection to my Homey within a couple of days.
I have INNR SP120 (Zigbee, act as routers) throughout my house, so I expect that the Aqara Temp sensors would use those router devices to connect to homey. All sensors connect to Homey directly
A lot of people automatically reboot their Homey daily to work around issues like this. Perhaps the combination between INNR and Xiaomi isn’t a good one, you could try to add some other router devices from different brands (like an IKEA repeater; I don’t have an active INNR devices but my Xiaomi sensors don’t have issues routing through IKEA devices).
