Like I mentioned earlier in this topic, there is an issue with this sensor that needs to be resolved, see:

I need to resolve this issue first before being able to add support for it in the Aqara app

Thanks for offering, in the meantime I have received the sensor and am testing them.  
I am aiming for an update of the Aqara app before mid of Januari.
