@TedTolboom After having updated to v2.x (I am now on the latest experimental = v2.05-rc2) I am having some issues with my Xiaomi Aqara devices. I use the wireless square buttons (1x, 2x, 3x, 4x press, ID=24321) to control curtain controllers (ID=514). That has worked great on v1.5.x and in the beginning of my v2 experience, they worked flawlessly too. Good job Ted! In my bedroom I have a switch to control the lights (1x press) and the curtains (2x press). The lights work great and immediately with 1x press, the 2x press doesn’t work. Weird; the switch interacts with Homey, but the 2x press is a problem. To make things even more peculiar…In my kitchen 1x press closes the curtain; that now only works after 3 or 4 attempts. So, it’s not a case of 1x working and 2x being buggy… In my living room, 2 meters away from Homey, the switch to control the curtain with 1x press does nothing at all. Is it a problem with the curtain controllers? Flows controlling them, work OK. What could be the problem? Better still; a solution 🙂 ---

I don’t know if its because the updated mesh driver in this version but I seems that my Aqara devices are more stable know. Before the motion sensors kept losing their connection and I needed to reboot Homey or remove/add the devices again. Thanks for your efforts, cheers! ---

Hi All, I have received my double wireless switches (WXKG02LM) and I am struggling to get them to work properly. I have added them to Homey and they are visible, but the functionality that I can see and select in Homey Flow is very limited. I looked all through the forum but with no success. Basically I can only use “When a button has been pressed” and then an action to turn on the lights that I want. - How do I distinguish between the left and right button? - Is it possible to use one of the buttons as a dimmer when it is kept being pressed down? Thanks for any help! ---

Hi Roy. Yes I did, but from what understaand this functionality should be possible. ID is b286.acn01 --\> 1x, 2x an long press should be available. ---

@DeweyG try the “a scene has been activated” trigger card. Which provides options which button and which scene. The “a button has been pressed” card will give the info through tokens. ---

I tried to include a Xiaomi door sensor (MCCGQ01LM) but it failed. Homey seems to find the device and starts including (8/8), but then fails to add the device… same goes for the other one I bought. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/a/a3ebba1a7fecd635a1e5d142b0475a1fe0a8d69a.jpeg) Which gives (clusters 8/8) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/6/69479a002eb0ff4883e500d370018e2961fb0914.jpeg) And after that, inmediately: invalid ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/a/a3ebba1a7fecd635a1e5d142b0475a1fe0a8d69a.jpeg) Any ideas? ---

Hoe many times did you tried to pair? If I remember correctly, I got those messages as well not long time ago, but paired after some retries. How many Zigbee devices do you have? ---

I think several times. Even resetted my Zigbee network… is it normal it needs several attempts? ---

@Joep_Vullings it took me a while to find my (only) Xiaomi Door sensor… I tried to reproduce this error, with this sensor, but the sensor includes normally; I don’t get the same error message. So I’m not able to reproduce this error. Are you able to include other Zigbee devices? I also don’t recognize the error message mentioned. I’ll ask Athom again if they know where this error is originating from. In parallel, I would recommend to create a support ticket at Athom. ---

I sent a report to athom regarding this problem. I tried to pair my other (identical) sensor but it had the same issue. ---

I have the Aqara Motion Sensor (RTCGQ11LM) and ask myself if there is apossibility to create a flow with luminance. Example if luminance drops below a certain level and there is motion detected put the lights on? ---

Just received a couple Vibration sensors. Took me a bit of effort to get paired now it shows up in Homey. However unlike other Aqara sensors the vibration sensor does not show up in Homekit via Homeykit. Anyone here using Homeykit with Aqara sensors? Is it a limitation on the Homeykit side? If so, would the ‘official’ Homey (beta) Homekit support be a better choice? ---

> And how would u use them in Homekit when they actually would show in Homekit? I see 6 values/parameters are exposed to Homey, although they don’t all make sense to have in HomeKit. The vibration or fall alarm could trigger an alarm (or switch) in Homekit, so it could act as a theft deterrent. Put in on your flatscreen TV for instance, or on your bike in the shed. Or inside the lid of the cookie jar.
