@TedTolboom Many thanx for your efforts. Wireless switches and humidity sensors working fine.

Indeed Ted, but the second wireless switch cannot be added. It seems that i can’t add any devices anymore. The 5 that i added are working perfect!

I also tried to restart the aquara app, but no result.

Maybe a reset of the zigbee network?

Thanks for reporting: will be fixed in version 1.0.1

@Hans-Jochen_Nissen, @Ton_van_Rijnsoever, @Patrick_van_der_Meer, like @Sharkys already suggested, can you check how many Zigbee devices you have included and how many of them are EndDevices or Routers?

Can you share the requested information on this issue at: [https://github.com/TedTolboom/com.xiaomi-mi-zigbee/issues/222](https://github.com/TedTolboom/com.xiaomi-mi-zigbee/issues/222)

Please do note that inclusion is handled outside the (Aqara) app environment.  
I’ll use this information to check with Athom where the issue is originating.

Still testing after updating the App and most sensors seem to work again. #Happy

Only one of the two Aqara motion sensor failed. Changed battery but still no signal. After removing I can’t add it again. Sensor is flashing 3 time but homey doesn’t connect.

Any ideas?

Try pairing it close to Homey. I have 6 Aqara motion sensors and 6 door sensors all working just fine.  
2 of them i had to pair them near homey and after that i moved them where they should be. Eventually after you move it away from homey press the pairing button on aqara sensor 1 time short.

Just released TEST version v1.0.1, fixing:

- Aqara wireless single switch (2018) scene triggers
- Xiaomi light sensor battery reporting (removal and re-inclusion of the sensor required)

Thanks, I’ve tried that several times, but so far without any luck.  
The door sensors are indeed okay.  
Maybe I’ll try a different battery tomorrow.

@TedTolboom, I think I have found a workaround. I reset the zigbee network and then added some routers first. Then I was able to add all EndDevices. So problem solved for me.  
Everything works fine, many thanks

I’m drawing the line here guys…

I’ll ask the mods to split the more generic Zigbee discussion from this app topic; it is informing (and deserves it’s own topic).

Let’s get back on topic: me! 😁

… a well, also the Aqara app…

@TedTolboom, I am not able to connect the Aqara Wireless Mini Switch.  
I have already made several attempts (+20) (reset, press longer than 3 seconds, press again and again after the 3 seconds, change the battery, etc.). Unfortunately without success. I already reported this on GitHub [#223](https://github.com/TedTolboom/com.xiaomi-mi-zigbee/issues/223).  
And yes, the switch was close enough (\< 2 cm). To connect a Xiaomi Light Sensor was no problem.

Today I tried to connect the Switch to the ConBee II USB stick again. This worked without problems on the first try. Adding the switch via the deCONZ App to Homey also worked without problems.

Does anyone else have problems to connect the switch?
