Yeah, I have read somewhere that Xiaomi took over development? Lets hope they share the same passion to the Homey app as Ted did before the project became too time consuming.

I don’t think there are allot of apps in the Homey store that are really made by the company creating the devices. What i’ve seen so far its mostly community based or made by Athom. I don’t think the name actually means it’s really made by Aqara/Lumi. Everything still points to Ted. I don’t expect him to carry this app by himself but it would be nice if someone could get access or who has access can get community contributions reviewed and merged for releases.

Can you find that announcement somewhere? Maybe it has some useful info on contributing or the future of the app?

@TedTolboom

Is it possible to add the aqara C2 curtain motor to the app?  
I’ve ordered the motor and it’s on its way.

Can you let me know if there’s anything I can do for you.

Now I’m really curious to what is happening with the app.  
I don’t know when this change happened but my guess is since development in the GitHub repo halted. Any communication from lumi explaining a roadmap would be very nice seeing al the requests on this thread piling up

I really hope it is a not gloomy outlook for future applications steering direction on pace of innovation, additional new devices roll out and also support 🤨

When attempting to connect the Aqara double rocker H2, an error occurs indicating that something went wrong, and after that, pressing any button turns off or turns on ALL Zigbee devices.  
I have Homey PRO23. I have Aqara double rocker H2. Problem with all with them.

This is known problem when some Aqara or Osram remotes are not initialised properly. These devices will start broadcasting OnOff cluster Toggle command to all Zigbee devices paired to the same Zigbee coordinator.

> [@jevvol](#):
>

This problem is not specific for Homey. You can turn the Homey power off and the switch will continue to control all Zigbee devices.

There is no known way to prevent this from happening (other than to ensure the Aqara double rocker H2 is paired and initialised without errors).

With other systems (HA, Deconz, Z2M, sprut, native Aqara Ana Homekit) its work nicely, without problems, and paring is normal. Its happened only with homey paring…

You are comparing apples and pears.

You state that it didn’t pair to Homey correctly. If it did pair correctly it would (should) have worked.  
As @kkossev says: if it doesn’t pair or initialize properly to any system, the same would happen because that is default behavior of the device…

Hi Ted,

I have 2 Roller Shade Drive E1 (among others) installed.

They used to work fine until they both stopped to report data like battery, activities or motor state.

They would work as it should but e.g. I don’t know the battery state etc.

I tried repairing the devices but that did not work. Then I removed the devices and added them as

new. One of hem works okay now but the other one still doesn’t.

I have Homey Pro 2023 with v10.0.0-rc.133 and the Aqara app v 1.7.1

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Wim van Bezouw

Google Home support falls beyond the control of app developers, you need to contact Athom instead: [https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360015784034-Submitting-a-support-request](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360015784034-Submitting-a-support-request)
