I am really confused - one week ago I added 2 Mi Motion Sensors without problems ( v.1.1.4 ). Today I bought another one and I am not able connect it. Some advice? ---

As with all these issues: how many Zigbee devices do you have, and what’s the ratio of router devices to end devices? See here: [https://developer.athom.com/tools/zigbee](https://developer.athom.com/tools/zigbee) ---

On my Homey I have only 5 directly connected zigbee devices - 2x Mi Motion sensor, 2x Mi Door sensor, 1x Mi Switch button All other devices are connected through hubs - especialy Philips Hue ---

And what happens specifically when you try to add the third motion sensor? Do you get any errors? If so, which ones? ---

No, I got no error - it is waiting I pressed the reset button 3x - no results. ( several times ) I checked pressing the reset button each 2 second to keep sensor awake - no result I tested the sensor with Xiaomi gateway as well and sensor is OK. ---

I have also this issue suddenly. And not only related to Aqara but also other zigbee apps. So i think it is general issue. ---

Strange is that last week ( new version of app was relased ) I was able add 5 Mi devices without problems … ??? ---

And then you press the button every 2 seconds? And in a close range to Homey? It’s a bit guessing this way… ---

Ofcourse yes, not a noob to homey and adding zigbee devices. ---

Then give that information if you want someone to respond and try to help. Now 2 people had to ask for that information and then you give a snobby reply. Great… Like in “Oh no it’s not working, please help me!” “Ok, but what isn’t working, what are you doing? You should do it this way” “Well, never mind then, i’m not stupid” ---

Sorry did not mean to be mean. Lets get back to topic. I think it is general issue than aqara app issue. ---

For the people that have issues adding devices, see the post of AR-J above. Looks like Athom is aware of the issue. That’s why V5 is still a beta… > [@AR-J](#): > > I received an answer after my email to the Athom support: (Dutch) > > "Op dit moment zit er nog een beperking in het toevoegen van apparaten met de nieuwe ZigBee update. We werken hard aan een oplossing hiervoor, in de tussentijd kun je geen extra end-devices (op batterij) toevoegen aan Homey. > > Mocht je snel een oplossing willen is de enige manier om je ZigBee netwerk te resetten (via Meer… → Instellingen → ZigBee), en bij het opbouwen van je netwerk eerst 2 of 3 routers (op 230V) toe te voegen voordat je begint met het toevoegen van sensoren." > > So it seems we have to wait for an update from Athom before adding the battery powered devices again. ---

I checked my Homey log - when I was able add new devices last time, I was on version 1.1.2 Question is if somebody was able add new devices on v 1.1.4 ? Edit: But - thanks to Maurice for info - looks that we should be patient 🙂 ---

> [@Mender](#): > > Question is if somebody was able add new devices on v 1.1.4 ? > > Edit: But - thanks to Maurice for info - looks that we should be patient 🙂 Not only for you personally @Mender, I will repeat once more: **Inclusion of Zigbee or Z-wave devices is handled by Homey’s core, not within the corresponding apps.** The app developers have no control over the success of the inclusion process, other than providing the right inclusion instructions and the right device ID’s to make the match to the right device driver. Off course I am collecting information (see referenced topic above) and collaborating with Athom to find the root cause and get a solution in place. ---
