Ted, thank you for the hard work so far. This week I finally received the 6 button Opple switch. Now Iā€™m complete. According to your last message. What about adding to Homey the 3 switches with the single click option only? For now my switches are useless while I can use them already with single clicks. Then later you can add some more options when they are possible. ---

I believe that isnā€™t possible; read post of the boss himself šŸ™‚ > [@\[APP\] Aqara & Xiaomi Smart Home - A different kind of Smart Home solution (Zigbee App)](https://community.homey.app/t/aqara-xiaomi-smart-home-zigbee-app-v0-8-0/156/1631): > > Hi Marius, no ETA. Considering the issues to establish a stable operation for these switches (even for only a single press), for which I have not found a working solution (manufacturing specific attribute setting is not supported), there is no other option then to wait for the Zigbee rewrite. Fortunately, there are signs (like referred to earlier in this topit), that the rewrite is approaching Beta levels ---

Is it possible to make the cube update while rotating?F.ex Iā€™ve set it up to lower/increase Hue Bloom dim. But it doesnā€™t seem to ā€œexecuteā€ the rotation before stopping the cube, then it updates after 1 second with the amount Iā€™ve rotated. Is it possible to make it so it is updating while Iā€™m rotating? ---

Hello @all, Forgive my English, I am French. I just received my Homey Pro. I bought : mi-smart-sensor-set (see in google please) It is impossible for me to synchronize my Xiaomi modules with the Homey Pro via the ā€œAqara & Xiaomi Samrt Homeā€ app. When I press the button, the synchronization process starts . image 1: ![WhatsApp Image 2020-04-09 at 16.31.10](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/6/5699607ef38445f2b6c90480d934180bf9f6660f.jpeg) But it puts me a timeout for each module! (image 1) I followed the instructions, I press the synchronization button every 2 seconds. I also brought the module within 10cm of Homey Pro during synchronization. I do not understand ā€¦ Going to the github, I just saw that the problem was reported to the developer: [https://github.com/TedTolboom/com.xiaomi-mi-zigbee/issues/198](https://github.com/TedTolboom/com.xiaomi-mi-zigbee/issues/198) Do you have a solution ? @TedTolboom I bought Homey Pro for this plugin ā€¦ If there is no solution I will have to send Homey Pro ā€¦ Thanks in advance ! ---

> [@DinoRayn](#): > > I bought : > mi-smart-sensor-set (see in google please) @DinoRayn, I donā€™t have the ā€œmi-smart-sensor-setā€ myself but I am using a lot of Aqara devices successfully, I understand you bought a kit based on using the Xiaomi gateway. Thus if you intend to use the gateway you are not using the correct Homey App, you should rather try to use the ā€œXiaomi Mi Homeā€ App. Hope it helps ! Donā€™t panic you shouldnā€™t have to send your Homey back šŸ˜‰ ---

Thank you for your message @Arvlux ! In fact I do not use the Xiaomi gateway but only the modules. Therefore I do not understand the problem. I tried to manually install the earlier version but it still doesnā€™t work. I have no chance ā€¦ Thank you anyway ! ---

Well, it works for a lot of people. So no worries, Iā€™m sure we can help you. First, are you sure you: a) got the right app: > **[Aqara](https://homey.app/en-gb/app/com.xiaomi-mi/Aqara/)** > > Simplify your life with a smarter home b) are using this app to add the devices (and not add them as a generic zigbee device)? c) are persistent with pressing the button every 2 seconds? Lastly, and I know most people here disagree with me, you could try adding them **not** right next to Homey. You already tried it right next to Homey, so it canā€™t hurt to try it a bit further away, right? Iā€™m generally about 2 - 3 meters away and it works every time. ---

During the add process you need to short push the add button every 2 seconds to keep your sensor alive. ---

Hi @Hugo, @Neuron44, Thanks for your response šŸ™‚ I have already try yourā€™s solutions ; -2 - 3 meters away -push the add button every 2 seconds to keep your sensor alive but it doesnā€™t work for meā€¦ I bought my Xiaomi products in France. Maybe there is a problem with that? I just bought an Aqara door sensor from Amazon. If it still does not work with I return the Homey Pro product. Thanks you! ---

Did you try already a PtP, means pull the plug but then for at least 15 minutes. Nowadays Homey has some problems with Aqara stuff and only after a PtP I can add new nodes. Also after a reboot you need a PtP to make Aqara stuff not time out. I always was very happy with my Aqara nodes but the last few months they are annoying me šŸ˜Š Hopefully Ted or maybe Homey or both are coming with a solution. Once it works, it works fine šŸ‘ [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-aqara-xiaomi-smart-home-simplify-your-life-with-a-smarter-home/156.md?page=79) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-aqara-xiaomi-smart-home-simplify-your-life-with-a-smarter-home/156.md?page=81)
