On adding support for the Opple Switches…  
I have received the switches and started adding support for them in the app.

On the positive note: adding them to Homey is possible.  
BUT:

- they take on a Zigbee light controller type of behavior. Meaning that each button will only have one function; for the 6 button the top row of rockers (OFF - ON), mid row (DIM down - up), bottom row (COLOR down - up), instead to the advertised multi-click function (1x - 3x click and hold / release) per button
- they appear to associate themselves during inclusion with available Zigbee bulbs (without my explicit consent)??

So I will need to check what is triggering this behaviour and see if I can influence/work around it…

Hello Ted,

Correct, when I start the inclusion I see the specific instructions for the device. For most the times I only get the time out screen after some time. Occasionally I do see the adding device screen, however it always results in a time out as well. The inclusion instructions says the led flashes three times, while my device only flash twice.  
I do have other Zigbee devices (including other Aqara devices) and they work without any issue. For your reference I attached a screen capture of my Zigbee network structure. I don’t see any red triangle or spinning circles.  
If it helps I can send you a vibration device and you can try it in your setup.

Regards,

Marco

Hi @TedTolboom,  
I read that on the dresden (conbee 2) page to. The same association to bulbs happens there to. They can’t make it easy can they? 😜

Hi Ted,

Will this app also support the new aqara (mi) doorbell? (don’t know for sure if it’s Zigbee)

Make sure you press the button every 2 seconds during the adding process.

Hi everyone,

I got a temperature and humidity sensor which is showing some strange battery values. It keeps on switching between 100% and 87%. Has anyone by any chance had this problem before?

I have a question about the double relay. Can I use this purely to trigger flows using my regular wall switches, without connecting it to any light? (And if yes: does this work with a toggle switch rather than a push-button switch? Basically I just want to toggle Hue lights on/off whenever the switch is flicked, regardless of position.)

I searched the thread and found a lot of talk about potential free relays but I’m not savvy enough about this topic to know whether that relates to this question.

The Aqara wall plug in EU version is really coming now!  
Any support planned, @TedTolboom?

Buy the man the device and he’ll probably plan development if he has the time for it. Hes kind enough based on the thread.

Btw, why is this such great news? They are roughly 29 euro, which isn’t very cheap or am I mistaken?

No, as in not planned yet. (practical joke, sorry 🙃)  
I saw the announcement that Aqara would be developing a EU version of the smart plug, but like you mentioned there will be some time between announcement and actual availability of the EU plug.

In addition, due to anticipated high demand, Ali prices will be higher at first (payed 26 euro’s for the vibration sensor to think I would be getting one of the first, which got delayed naturally).

So, yes… when available, the plug will be added to the supported device list.

As soon as Athom releases the support for the Zigbee IAS (alarm) cluster, which is needed for the water-, smoke- and gas-sensor. This is often referred to as part of the Zigbee rewrite Athom is working on, but no timing nor confirmation available that the IAS cluster is part of the rewrite…

@TedTolboom  
Thanks for the reply again!

Thing is; the plug is available already according to the site I mentioned. They ordered it at [aqara.ru](http://aqara.ru):  
[https://aqara.ru/product/aqara-smart-plug/](https://aqara.ru/product/aqara-smart-plug/)

And yes (@Martijn_Hoogenbosch), I would be more than happy to contribute to buying this plug. As you said, it’s likable that much more people would like this to be implemented, so I am sure we can bring enough money together for you!  
If you wanna buy this plug, give us a link to donate. I’ll try to be the first! 😉

Thanks again for the good work!
