That is my interpretation of it, but I will not answer for Ted. Anyway, I think Athom sees the potential in getting Xiaomi devices up and running also, so I think will act accordingly ---

> [@Sharkys](#): > > Hi @TedTolboom, next time maybe it would be great to have to SDK automated convertor, right ? šŸ˜‰ Not sure if itā€™s even possible, must be really challenge to re-write everything. Well, that has to be a hell of a converterā€¦ even for apps based on the formal Zigbee specification. Please keep in mind that Xiaomi / Aqara, specifically for the ā€œolderā€ devices, have their own (not-documented) interpretation of the Zigbee specification, that I needed to reverse engineer to get it to work with Homey. So the same attribute ID (e.g. onOff) for the onOff Cluster, which is the most common used attribute, will have a different structure for one device to another. > [@Sharkys](#): > > But anyway, while not speaking about ETA, does it mean that new version will be not released until Athom will fix issue Nr.1 ? > [@Exile82](#): > > That is my interpretation of it, but I will not answer for Ted. Anyway, I think Athom sees the potential in getting Xiaomi devices up and running also, so I think will act accordingly Well, this topic has been clarified already and canā€™t / wonā€™t be fixed because of the specific natureā€¦ but luckly enough, the new Zigbee implementation does provide an option to work around it. So I have a direction how to resolve, but will need to test if this is robust (enough)ā€¦ ---

I think the report frequency of the battery driven temperature and humidity sensors is dependent on temperature change. Mine report frequently when there are changes and may go hours (4 hours yesterday between 18 and 22, see image) when values are stable. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/d/2d294c4372c05c75ba1f970dc41465ae5563a39f.png) ---

Nice work! Does this update from Athoms side also opens the possibility to support the oppo switches? ---

> [@hplos](#): > > Does this update from Athoms side also opens the possibility to support the oppo switches? This is not the limiting factor to implement support for the Oppo switchesā€¦ > [@TedTolboom](#): > > The main steps regarding the Xiaomi/Aqara app update will involve: > > 1. Rewriting and testing the different drivers of the existing devices (including driver library optimization) > 2. Release of the first test version to the App Store test environment > 3. Adding support for the already committed devices; e.g. the waterleak-, smoke- and gas-sensors and Opple switches > 4. Extending the current drivers with their configuration options; will need some support here from the community to identify / gather all information from other sources > 5. Adding support for the newly released devices; e.g the Aqara D1 switches. I will need to buy them first to be able to add support for them; so this action will have a lead time anyway. Like mentioned before, current focus is to complete step 1. and 2. first ---

I understand that the focus is fist on the existing devices. But as I understand (in point 3) it will come. Nice! Donā€™t get me wrong, I donā€™t wanna push or whatever, just asking. Otherwise I was gonna sell my opple switch ---

Unfortunately the app does not yet support Homey v5. You will have to wait. And consider switching off auto updates and/or experimental updates. They really do break stuff now and then. ---
