Aqara recently released the firmware update that exposes their water leak sensors via matter from their M2 hub. Exposed my M2 Hub via matter and successfully added water leak sensors to HomeyPro BUT they only show up as battery cards available. SIGH. So much for getting ones hopes up LOL ![Screenshot 2025-01-23 at 10.08.50 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/9/89554c5c4088e28a3906886cea0a9ea17eeeaf2a.jpeg) ![IMG_C8ECD67515FB-1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/a/ca6f69d66a14b9ed37a516dab1aa8cd2a3ea5c74.jpeg) ---

My experience with the T1 sensors is that they are more reliable than the older ones. I have Ikea bulbs and outlets too, and since I connected the bulbs to the Ikea Gateway (so not to Homey), the older Aqara have a much more reliable connection too. I read a lot of reports here about Aqara in combination with Ikea bulbs, but not in combination with Ikea outlets… ---

Hello everyone, Do you know if these devices were on the Aqara team’s integration roadmap? - P2 Motion and Light Sensor - Smoke Detector If yes, do you know when? Thanks for your reply. ---

Are there people succesfully using the Aqara Light Sensor T1 (GZCGQ11LM)? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/7/076ca7b254f52262e9028fecc17c5a0b8df27b75.png) I have two of these, but pairing is extremely hard (if succeeded at all, mostly pairing times out) and if I do succeed in this, the sensor doesn’t update any data. I tried new batteries and pairing them close to homey, but both did not help. Any idea anyone? ---

I am using this sensor (I don’t know what the product ID is). I had no issues pairing it. In Homey it presents itself with the following info: ![IMG_1669](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/6/66405e47d1355272bf5c1673a2e809cf4c5ba228.jpeg) ![IMG_1668](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/d/9d9de9fe01b7dff2d2e552de7c9d4351e470e988.jpeg) EDIT - Found the product ID on the invoice: LM-GZCGQ11LM. ---

That is a good question, not when rather IF. I do agree with you, Valve Controller T1, is extremely interesting device due to reason they are very rare to find in general. This one being on ZigBee could be potential fit for this app. I do hope it will be technically feasible and that it will be higher on the priority list however usually this kind of things can take months to get included if they get priority. ---

Hi Ronald, Did you manage to get this Aqara smokedetector working? If I understood well, the non-Honeywell version of the Aqara smokedetector is not compatible. I didn’t see you follow up on your post. BR Danny NB sorry for the 1st try in Dutch ---

Between 1 and 59 seconds after a change in brightness. Mine is set to 30 seconds (default interval). ![IMG_1674](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/a/da87b3199197a1e136539c20a6bd7bb42ca03231.jpeg) ---

Hi Ted, we have some Problems with the E1 Thermostates , see also thread > [@Aqara E1 Thermostat + Aqara Temperature Sensor](https://community.homey.app/t/aqara-e1-thermostat-aqara-temperature-sensor/113135/27): > > Hello? Does the dev noticed this thread? the latest update for the external temperature flowcard change does not work reliable and is randomly reset to internal. Me and another User noticed that: Quote: update for today, we had a small power blackout in town (which is unusual) but after homey reboots all of my 6 E1 with the external temperature setting “lost” this setting again. the setup of the devices RAMAIN in external status but it does not work and the error message of the flow card say: “the sensor type for the thermostat is currently set to internal, please change the device setting first” so i have to set it back to internal and afterwards back to external and then it will work again… very annoying And: [JoeyBE](https://community.homey.app/u/JoeyBE) ![](https://sea1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/user_avatar/community.homey.app/tedtolboom/24/12081_2.png "TedTolboom") TedTolboom [6d](https://community.homey.app/t/aqara-e1-thermostat-aqara-temperature-sensor/113135/25) Hi Update as of today. The flow card works perfectly, but when the Homey restarts or there is something that causes a disconnect from the thermostat to the Homey, the setting reverts to internal sensor (setting in Homey stays on external but after an interview of the device Internal comes back on). So can you add a flow card that makes it possible to change (force) the setting to external? So when the change temp card fails we can add a change setting command? Thanks ---

Hi Danny, Welcome to the community! And to answer your question, no it is not recognised yet. Homey has no clue what to do with it, bu does see it is a Zigbee device. We are depending on volunteers to add it. Unfortunately I can’t do it myself. (Or at least I never tried…) So, wait, or … request again? Or buy another brand, that is already supported. Greetings Ronald ---
