I have multiple (10?) and except of Xiaomi temperature sensor, they are pretty reliable (even the Xiaomi ones just have longer refresh rate from time to time). Check Developer interface for ZigBee part and probably you will need to rebuild your Zigbee network (ensure you have enough routers and add them among first). And always ensure you have fresh batteries on those sensors (even if re-adding works for while). ---

Is there anyone that knows how to add new devices to an app like this ? what information is needed , where is it found etc etc ? ---

Yes. Here too. I don’t get how it works. Some angles work and others don’t. I don’t have any use for it the way it works now. Not sure if it’s as designed or an issue in the app or the sensor. ---

I’m afraid you just need to be patient. It’s not in the test version of the app yet, and I would be surprised if it was, ref. the last post by app author TedTolboom about the roadmap. But when the FP1 is implemented, I’m sure it will be awesome! 😃 > [@\[APP\] Aqara & Xiaomi Smart Home - A different kind of Smart Home solution (Zigbee App)](https://community.homey.app/t/aqara-xiaomi-smart-home-zigbee-app-v1-4-1-test-v1-4-2/156/3931): > > Thanks for thinking along… off course I am using multiple (even shared closed) sources while implementing a new device.

Does anyone experience some issues with aqara products since a few weeks? My sensors are responding but don’t trigger my flows. Doorsensors work but don’t trigger flows Also motionsensors seem to fail at triggering my flows Tried restarting, power off the homey. Also restart the aqara app. I can try to re-add the sensors maybe that helps? ---

I’ve just released v1.5.0 to the app store, waiting for Athom’s review and release. This version includes adding support for the Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1, battery reporting optimizations and updated device naming conventions. v1.5.0 can be installed at this moment through the [test environment of the app store](https://homey.app/a/com.xiaomi-mi/test/) ---

Im crazy about this device, and cant wait for it to be supported. The functionality through the aqara app/hub seems amazing as you can set zones within one sensor! Does anyone @TedTolboom know if this device will be supported, it has to go through the hub in order to use these functionalities or wil the homey aqara app be enough (guess it would be hard to configure the zones then. I will soon be ordering some (either with or without the hub) ---

Thanks Ted! I’ve installed the test app and confirmed that my rollers are working perfectly. I had been using the Aqara hub and after the reset it’s kept the blind open/closed levels I had set with the Aqara hub. Battery is reporting correctly as well. It’s looking good! ---

It’s looking good! Thanks for the feedback. Indeed setpoints and curtain direction are kept transfering between controller (or after re-adding to Homey). For that reason, at first inclusion the corresponding parameters should be read and stored. For now, executing the calibration should be done manually per the steps described in the manual. I am checking if it is possible to add a guided manual calibration from the Homey app. ---

Hi, I have bought the Aqara Wireless Wall Switch E1, but it won’t connect to Homey… Homey adds it as a unknown Zigbee device with product ID “lumi.remote.acn003” Any idea how I can connect it to Homey? Thanks in advance! Kind regards, Harmen ---

Clearly Homey with it’s community developers who put so much love and effort in is not for you. And clearly; Ted put a LOT more love and effort in than you: ![Screenshot_20221102_194738](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/2/42a0ca96355b551cc9cc368691fcebd35d4cfde6.jpeg) I suggest to sell your Homey and switch to Telldus.
