Thanks!!! Sadly, in this case, the measurement of illumination is simply useless. ---

Hi, For a few days, I have a problem with an Aqara double switch (no neutral). Here’s my install: - 2 Ikea bulb connected to a contactor (télérupteur, in french), - 1 Aqara double switch no neutral (right button) - 2 Aqara single switches wireless I have several flows to turn on/off the bulbs, and they work great (instead of the delay ~1sec). Sometimes, when i wake up in the morning, the bulbs are on ! I think the problem is due to the double switch, because the left button, which electrically controls an another lamp, makes flash light 1 per week (I have to disconnect the bulb to solve this issue). Have you ever seen this kind of problem (auto on) ? Thanks ! ---

3 physical devices. I tried pressing the reset button once every 2-3 seconds but after the first 3 flashes (and a couple more) there wasn’t any activity. ---

Hi, I have a question. I have new aqara wall switch with support of the long press. I added a device to homey and created flow which set the dim level to depend on how long you press the button. Problem is that when the button is pressed longer than 10s button reset to defaults and disconnect from homey. Is there any way how to solve this problem? Thanks Jakub ---

Hello @robertklep, thank you for your insight: > [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/1/01da37237ea6bd87b0e2107f1c365dc98c77a8bd.jpeg "Robert Klep")](https://community.homey.app/u/robertklep) [robertklep](https://community.homey.app/u/robertklep) > Homey has a hardware limit of about 20 _directly connected_ devices. Sadly, you can’t force devices to connect through a router instead of with Homey directly, so the only way to fix your mesh is to remove a number of end devices (battery powered) from Homey, replace them with additional routers, and add the end devices back again _from the location you intent to use them_ (so _not_ close to Homey). That way, you have a bigger chance of the device connecting through a router (in my experience some devices, mostly Xiaomi Aqara, seems to have a preference to “stick” with the router that they got initially paired with, even if that router isn’t the most obvious choice w.r.t. distance). Thanks also to @Gilly_Wings, @Satoer and @MarcoGr. I have found a way how to connect new Aqara devices via another router device (even in close proximity to Homey). Robert’s comment gave me the idea that worked. I have used an aluminium foil as a shield between the newly added device and Homey while the new added device being close and unshielded to the router device. Well, it looks a bit weird when arranging the “dumb” foil in order to add a “smart” device, but it works 🙂. So thanks again and I hope this helps others in return. Cheers, Martin ---

That’s it I managed to add other peripherals to battery. The Xiaomi Aqara bulb and the SONOFF BASICZBR3 are good routing but not the Aqara switches ![Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/a/7af0e9539420294d659a5c93ff1aacbd45f924bc.jpeg) ---

ikea bulbs will do the routing for the aqara switches ---

I would be careful with bulbs. Once you turn them OFF, you can lose connection between Aqara and Homey and if there is higher amount of devices, then the problem will start. I had cca 5 Aqara devices routed over IKEA plug. When I removed the plug for one day, Aqara sensor were not able to reconnect anymore. ---

Have made a donation. Thank you for your good work on the Aqara Zigbee App. You should also get money from Athom because without people like you Homey would not work. ---

I think it’s a bit different than that. If you cut of the power of the bulb, yes, but if you turn it off and let the bulb have power, than the zigbee network will stil be working [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-aqara-xiaomi-smart-home-simplify-your-life-with-a-smarter-home/156.md?page=70) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-aqara-xiaomi-smart-home-simplify-your-life-with-a-smarter-home/156.md?page=72)
