A next version is released to the [app store’s test environment](https://homey.app/a/com.xiaomi-mi/test/).

Thanks @Jan_Z and @makleso6 for your contribution to spot the communication issue, below update has a containment in place, while a formal update of the Zigbee core is pending by Athom.

@SMoritz should resolve your issue.  
@Christopher1 looking forward to hear your experience on the H2 triggers based on this release

> ## Aqara v1.20.0 (TEST version)
> 
> > Requires **Homey v13.2.0** or newer.
> 
> * * *
> 
> ### ⚠ Check your flows
> 
> - **Smoke detector:** the non-functional _tamper_ and _battery_ alarms are removed (the detector never reported them). Flows that use them need updating; for the battery, use the battery level instead (e.g. _battery level drops below 20 %_).
> 
> * * *
> 
> ### New device
> 
> - **Multi-State Sensor P100** (Zigbee and Matter)
> 
> * * *
> 
> ### Firmware updates from Homey
> 
> The latest Aqara firmware can now be installed from the device settings in Homey for:
> 
> - **Presence sensor FP1, FP1E and FP300**
> - **Smart radiator thermostat E1 and W600**
> - **Climate sensor W100**
> - **Smart plug EU**
> 
> **Note:** the firmware update might end with an _Update failed (Update aborted by device)_ error message, which is caused by the Aqara device reporting the completion with a different code which Homey is interpreting as an error. Athom is looking into this issue. Check in the device settings if the new firmware version is visible, if so you can ignore this error message, the device should be fully operational.

> * * *
> 
> ### Fixes and improvements
> 
> - **LED strip T1 and Ceiling light T1M:** the light scenes and effects are back, with new dimming and power-on settings.
> - **Presence sensor FP300:** more reliable communication. Active check added when the device is awake and did not cancel the presence alarm for more than 15 minutes.
> - **Smoke detector:** muting works during an alarm, smoke density in dB/m, new alarm grouping setting.
> - **Smart plug EU:** the on/off state stays in sync and new settings are added.
> - **Smart plug US and Wall switches US:** pairing no longer fails.
> - **Thermostats E1, W500, W600 and climate sensor W100:** more reliable communication and settings that follow the device.
> - **Water leak, door and window and temperature and humidity sensors:** correct state right after pairing and settings applied immediately.
> - **Buttons and remotes:** more reliable button presses, also after a remote rejoins the network.
> - **All devices:** fewer Zigbee bindings when pairing (only for newly paired devices).

Next updates will add firmware updates to more devices. Current updates are verified on test devices to not introduce breaking changes.
