Following previous expressed statements in this topic (expectation management):

> Apologies for the long silent period. Due to other topics that required my personal attention over the last weeks and months, I was not able to put in the same amount of time and energy as I did before… after the holiday period, I will have more time available (and refreshed battery). I will not address al questions mentioned before. I’ve just released v1.4.2 toward the [app store’s test environment (only)](https://homey.app/a/com.xiaomi-mi/test/).

> Thanks for thinking along… off course I am using multiple (even shared closed) sources while implementing a new device. But I also need to take into account the large user base (25000+ Installs), expecting full functionality once support for a device is added. From that perspective it is one of my app development fundamentals to only add support for devices when I have tested the device myself… I will add support for the FP1 (ordered), but to manage expectations it will be fourth in line: Aq…

In the priority setting of adding new Aqara devices I will focus on [main stream Aqara devices in the EU sales area](https://www.aqara.com/eu/products.html) (main focus area of Homey) first.

Consequently the focus will be to integrate support for below devices first (parallel to bug fixing and minor feature implementations):

- Roller Shade Driver E1 (released in v1.5.0)
- Smart Roller Shade Controller (WIP, similar to Roller Shade Driver E1)
- Motion Sensor P1
- Curtain driver E1
- Radiator Thermostat E1

Off course I will take into account popular devices available outside the EU sales area (e.g. FP1 sensor) for the next integration steps.

Please note that the total Aqara portolio, as shown on the [Chinese version of the site](https://aqara.com/cn/prodCenter), is growing rapidly (300+ SKU’s).  
Where some series of devices are exclusively available in China only.

I fully recognize that not everyone will agree to this order of adding device support, but I try to be transparent to manage everyone’s expectations.
