I did a Zigbee reset on V5 firmware and as a result Homey changed the channel from 11 to 14. Maybe that is a new default, maybe it scanned to see which was best, I do not know. What I do know is that all devices including Aqara stuff that used to need to pair next to Homey and took ages to pair now pairs in a second, in it’s rightful place. But also there, no clue what is owed to the new firmware and what to the new channel. I own Hue, Innr, Aqara and one Tuya, all worked. Come to think of it: the one Tuya didn’t work before, was in constant pairing mode and connected first. Maybe that was on channel 14 to begin with? ---

> [@Edwin\_D](#): > > Maybe that was on channel 14 to begin with? Zigbee devices have to scan all channels during pairing, because they don’t know which channel the controller is using. It’s more likely your network was experiencing a lot of interference (perhaps from WiFi). ---

The 2.4 GHz wifi band here is a mess, at some channels Wifi is pretty much unusable, so that is a fact. Wish Homey itself supported 5 GHz or, even better, wired through USB dongle. Already put in a request for that. ---

I’ve just released the v1.2.0 version of the app to the test environment of the app store: [Aqara App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/a/com.xiaomi-mi/test/) Main change: Add support for the Aqara T1 switches SSM-U01 (with Neutral): onoff and support power measuring, SSM-U02 (without Neutral): only onoff, Both devices have settings to determine the switch type (toggle of momentary). Enjoy! ---

hi @robertklep I was able to add the smart socket plug in my Zigbee equipments (node 15). My question: how do I move a device linked to Homey on the Smart Socket? Thank you for help and answers ![Capture d’écran 2020-12-20 à 22.30.23](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/2/f24ccdfe924e75a6f20985c3924873524e56f261.png) ---

The Aqara devices are known for sticking to the router device they were initially paired with, so you probably have to remove them from Homey first and then re-add them. You still can’t _force_ them to use the smart socket though, and to be honest, having only one other router device is still not great. You probably need to add another 4 or 5 router devices at least, otherwise you will still have plenty of sensors connecting to Homey directly. ---

> [@gregory75](#): > > No problem adding SSM-U01 but i get the message “could not initialize this Zigbee device” and the usual red triangle. 5.0.0-rc.48 Thanks for reporting @gregory75. ~~Should~~ Is with the v1.2.1 update. Since both devices are so similar, I finalized the implementation on the SSM-U0, where a typo prevented the initialization to complete on the SSM-U01. Should now work without any additional actions, initialization should finalize after the app update. ---

Working now. Kind of 🙂 On/Off working, power reporting working. However, when i change things under the Advanced Settings and then i confirm them i get the “MALFORMED\_COMMAND”. I’m trying to change from Toggle Switch to No switch and power failure to yes. ---

Hi all, I have my curtains set up. Adding the motors worked good. Only after an hour or so I’m getting no response and a message Homey couldn’t wake up the device ![IMG_20201219_193648](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/4/b4eee5ef84acf3d0f4a10dc357686ef09e012307.jpeg) ![Screenshot_2020-12-21-11-40-38-016_app.homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/1/713dcc1c18db877a71cfc25e1ffee13279e93bfc.jpeg) Anyone knows how to fix this?

For one it did the job, however it closes completly but opens for the half lenght of the track… The other motor had trouble adding to homey but finaly it made the connection. But getting a timeout message again.
