The repo is public, and there are other developers on these forums, We have a thread [here](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-pro-community-app-requests/2713), where you could make a request, which any developer could pick up, or if that fails you could go [more general](https://www.google.com/search?q=TypeScript+Contractors). As a general rule : you are going to want to assume about $150 USD per hour, plus the cost of the device. Timewise I would expect 1 day to understand the code base and adapt to it, 1 day to test and then obviously time to code the device. $3000 - $6000 USD, would a decent incentive for as contractor. Someone very familiar with zigbee on Homey could do it faster, but they will likely expect a higher rate. Keeping in mind that ted is ‘the guru’, for these devices. I hope you find this useful and it helps you put a proposal together to find a developer. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/app-aqara-xiaomi-smart-home-simplify-your-life-with-a-smarter-home/156)._
