Hi. I need help since I am unable to use my ‘Door and Window Sensor T1’ with Homey. It is a longer saga, first reported here: [Aqara Door and Windows sensor T1 issue](https://community.homey.app/t/aqara-door-and-windows-sensor-t1-issue/105620) but I guess I never actually officially reported the problem here in this thread. But since the latest app update did not fix the issue, I thought I better do that. Hence this post. The adding of the device to homey goes through without any problem. But it never triggers. And I have confirmed that it is not the sensor that is malfunctioning. (I just bought the smallast Aqara hub I could buy and tested the sensor. I was hoping I could do a firmware update to fix any problem, but firmware was up to date.) And I really want the sensor to work without using an aqara hub. I have other Aqara sensors that work fine (non-T1) I have an ‘Early 2019 Homey Pro (non-pro)’, fully updated and the latest Aqara homey app. I was able to ‘interview’ the sensor so I can provide that if needed. best regards, Arnar --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/app-aqara-xiaomi-smart-home-simplify-your-life-with-a-smarter-home/156)._
