Same here, every hour several battery reports … empty, full, empty again. Started after last update, before no problems. As far as I can tell no other issues. ---

I have three temperature sensors close to each other (1 in large freezer, 1 in small freezer and one in fridge). For some reason, at least one of them is not telling the right temp and I was wondering if anyone in here could help me figure out why. Freezer 1 is on power freeze, which should be -28C. It shows -19.6 Freezer 2 is on normal and should be around -20C somewhere. It shows -20. Fridge should be above 0 (evidenced by the fact that I can still _drink_ milk and marmalade is still spreadable). It shows -16 Now, if this was some sort of crosstalk I would have thought at least two of them would show the same temp, but none of them are. I’ve not gotten any battery errors, and they seem to be reachable. They seemed to work fine outside the freezers and fridge. Any tips? Anything I can do to debug or log? P.S. I’ve tried uploading an image, but both my browsers (chrome and firefox) fail - even after disabling adblockers and stuff. ---

Hi, Are there plans to add Acara Occupancy sensor to Homey? I tried presence sensor and it returned error. Thanks ---

I bought a couple more opple scene switch and D1 2gang wireless switches. But after many tries I’m still unable to pair them to homey. Any idea what could be the problem? I’ve tried restarting almost everything. ---

Hey all, I have a question. I paired an Aqara smart plug with this app, but now my Ikea remotes automagically start turning the aqara smart plug on and off. How can I stop this from happening? After some googling I found that the workaround for a different home automation system was to put either the aqara plug or the ikea remote in a different zigbee group. ---

Homey’s Zigbee implementation doesn’t have a user interface to remove devices from groups. The issue seems to be caused by the IKEA remote (sending all messages to a particular group by default) and not so much the Aqara device, and [this](https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt.io/blob/develop/docs/devices/E1743.md#binding) suggests that if you install the latest firmware on the IKEA remote the issue may be resolved (but if you use your remotes to also control other IKEA devices you may lose _that_ functionality). You can also try and [contact the maker of the IKEA app, Athom](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360015784034-Submitting-a-support-request), and hope that they understand the issue and implement a similar solution as [what zigbee2mqtt did](https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/2772). ---

Hello, I have a question regarding the E1 Roller shade driver. I have been able to add and control this device so that’s great, but i’m not able to stop the curtain moving when i click a button. In the **then** part of the flow there is only a card to move the curtain to a given position but not to stop the driver running. I’ve tried to set the postion in the card to the #position tag. This didn’t work because the value of the #position is the value where the driver is moving to not the current postion of the driver (my mistake). Is there a way to stop the driver running and if not is this a feature that will be available in future? Thanks. ---

Did you calibrate the driver, as described in the manual, so that it knows it’s end stops? Based on your description it feels you didn’t… At this moment I don’t see a use case to send a stop command from a flow. I could be that I am incomplete in the use cases… ---

Ofcourse i did calibrate the driver. The curtain stop at the desired spots without homey. But sometimes I want to lower the curtain so that the sun doesn’t shine in my i eyes. I this case I start lowering the curtain until the sun is hidden and then I want to stop driver so I have still daylight in my room. When connected to the aqara cloud unit this functionality is default. Push the button driver starts spinning. Push the button the driver stops. Push the button the driver start spinning the other way around. I hope this gives some insight in the use case. I just want the option to manually control how ‘openess’ of my curtain. ---
