Oh my, I am travelling this week, so I need to wait until I get home. I do not have the cojones to do this remotely when the family is back home, just in case something goes wrong.  
In worst case my other suit case is packed and left outside the house

Just to be sure, if I install this version of the app, my devices will be known by homey stil? Will it overwrite the original “approved” app?

And do I need to upgrade to firmware V5 first, and then this app, or the other way around?

Oh, and thanks for all the effort Ted, very much appreciated!

@KvM:  
Yes, you need to upgrade to the latest v5 RC first.  
If the Aqara app is not automatically updated, you can do so afterwards. In my case all my devices were up and running after that. Flows too.

But no guarantee; it is still a testversion and Homey v5 is still a RC too. My guess is that it will work though. Make sure you know what you’re doing.

Also make sure all your other apps are v5 (SDK3) ready.

I’m aware of the beta status, and checked all my apps, thanks for the heads up nevertheless.

Gonna try tonight or this weekend to upgrade, thanks!

@TedTolboom what a tremendous work you did upgrading the sdk. I scrolled down the commits on GitHub, it looks to me that it’s huge. Thanks so much. I noticed a bug in the battery status of the light sensor and made an issue on GitHub. Even after remove and re-adding the sensor and also a reboot didn’t solve the issue.

Thanks. It was a bit more work than the 20-30 hours as mentioned before, also because we needed to complete part of Athom’s Zigbee implementation (Zigbee-Clusters), hence I missed my own target date.

In the various Zigbee apps a lot of work has been put in by the different community developers, like @kasteleman, @johan_bendz, @h3rman @prj_84 and @dpanet, in great collaboration with each other; sharing problems fixes and solutions! So without their mental support, the update wouldn’t have been there…

Deep respect for all the hard work @TedTolboom.

Just to be sure: the app itself is still in test and only via GitHub available? Or is the app already via the ‘normal’ route available?

You both are referring to Zigbee apps right and not **all** other apps ?

- Zigbee apps need to use SDK3 with homey v5
- Other apps (not zigbee) needs SDK2 or higher to work with homey v5
- SDK1 apps stop functioning with homey v5

Please tell me if I wrote something wrong

How can I check which SDK an app is on? So I know if I still use some old SDK1 apps.

Aqara Wireless Switch Singel (2018)  
If i do a long press nothing happens.

I try to uninstall one and then install it again. But if I select “A scene has been activated” and select objects, then a black image with the text “No results” appear, here I could before select long press and double press.  
Now I can only select the option “A button has been pressed”

I hope there is a solution to this?

Today i added my xiaomi sensors and it seems to look perfect. My old flows are working when added a new card with the device. See picture

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/a/7a511df7cc4d672518690f0892c802e07b31d0c7.jpeg)

After that i tried to add more of my sensors (door and window, wireless switch) but i can’t. There is no respons when i hold the button on the sensor for 3 second. Strange, because i added the same devices earlyer and all of them are working.

This screen appear and stays till i close it.

Do you have any ideas?

It’s the same for me!  
Could paired with Aqara Wireless Switch Single (2018)  
But then I can neither pair any Aqara device or hue device?  
Tried to shut down Homey and restart. Nothing helps!

Hm, I have Aqara Wireless Switches and two days ago I did pair about 5 other Hue devices flawlessly. How many Zigbee devices you have and how many routers ?
