Just add the zones in the Aqara Home app. They will add into the Homey app ---

Hello, may I ask how often the HomeKit controller polls the state of connected devices? I’m asking because I’m using a Vimar blind connected through a Vimar Gateway to the HomeKit Controller, and the behavior is as follows: - If I change the windowCoverings\_set from Homey, it changes instantly in Vimar (and the blind moves). - If I change the windowCoverings\_set in the Vimar app, the position in the HomeKit controller doesn’t update as quickly. It does update if I restart the HomeKit controller, though. So, is this a matter of polling frequency? Can I enforce these polls somehow? EDIT: it looks that HomeKit Controller detects the change instantly, but somehow can’t handle it. Here is the log generated a few seconds after I changed the position of the blinds from Vimar app: ```auto undefined2024-05-22T17:08:44.730Z [log] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:hapIP] [Device:5fe7b09b-8382-4a2d-80f4-05d951f116af] Finestra SX Cucina Vimar UNSUPPORTED Event: 9282917221971153346 {"aid":"9282917221971153346","iid":"16621513015895787963","value":2} 2024-05-22T17:08:44.728Z [log] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:hapIP] [Device:5fe7b09b-8382-4a2d-80f4-05d951f116af] Finestra SX Cucina Vimar UNSUPPORTED Event: 9282917221971153346 {"aid":"9282917221971153346","iid":"1057273400114889757","value":73} 2024-05-22T17:08:39.234Z [log] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:hapIP] [Device:5fe7b09b-8382-4a2d-80f4-05d951f116af] Finestra SX Cucina Vimar UNSUPPORTED Event: 9282917221971153346 {"aid":"9282917221971153346","iid":"16621513015895787963","value":0} 2024-05-22T17:08:39.233Z [log] [ManagerDrivers] [Driver:hapIP] [Device:5fe7b09b-8382-4a2d-80f4-05d951f116af] Finestra SX Cucina Vimar UNSUPPORTED Event: 9282917221971153346 {"aid":"9282917221971153346","iid":"7396842055735373569","value":73} ``` I’ve generated a report: > 010451c5-9a54-48ba-998c-3712ae23e73f ---

Hello, yes the problem is still present in 1.3.7. Here is a new report number Report `5111f003-fb1e-418e-a1bc-59e652045f5c` I tried at first to move the blind within Homey app, it worked fine. Then I moved it in the Vimar app, Homey didn’t recognize the change of position. [Here on Dropbox is the JSON](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ycpdrxhdv5vim4cecz4ix/accessoryJSON-Homey-Vimar.txt?rlkey=6ouqtu6x7lgncv6g47dr3iv5e&e=2&st=oxx34erz&dl=raw) (I’m sorry, I had to make a .txt file because it’s too long for this post).

@Martin_Verbeek a forum is normally to talk about problems. But i wanted to mention that (after replacing two fp2 sensors that were failing) i’m very happy now with the stability (i have 10). Its perfect. I had trouble finding your donate button, so maybe good idea to place it in the opening thread. I donated and again, thanks! My guide in how to set it up properly can be found here: - [Aqara FP2, mmWave presence detection on WiFi - #427 by Quakerix](https://community.homey.app/t/aqara-fp2-mmwave-presence-detection-on-wifi/76955/427) Later on, i’ll be playing with some of the features of the sensor. But room presence, this is a whole new level. ---

I had trouble finding your donate button, so maybe good idea to place it in the opening thread. I donated and again, thanks! I do these things for the good stories. Much appreciated ---

I can’t understand One more i would like you to do… in the homey device goto settings and turn on debug. Change the value in the vimar app again and pm me the log. ---

Hello, After adding my new aqara fp2 by homekit controller I would like to adjust with more speed the presence/unpresence.So I would like to ask if anyone has knowledge in JSON language? After adding this fp2 by homekit controller if you click on the device you will see the json parameter maybe you can change some character there in order to be more accuracy? Thanks. Regards ---

> [@roberto2391](#): > > After adding my new aqara fp2 by homekit controller I would like to adjust with more speed the presence/unpresence.So I would like to ask if anyone has knowledge in JSON language? ??? That JSON is there to help me in getting info on devices that do get defined correctly. I can use that in my IDE to define devices i do not have and test withg it. If an event comes from the device, it will be handled immediatly, the delay in the code is minimal, and that should not influence the reaction time. Networking congestion will influence. Also what i noticed is that the room presence (alarm\_motion) is quick and specific defined zones are lagging. So my conclusion (maybe wrong) was that the FP2 zones are not so quick sending out the presence. Let me know if any other observations! ---

I did a quick search and apologies if it’s already addressed but since yesterday I enabled Homekit in Experiments and since then HomeKit controller is unresponsive. All devices have exclamation marks, update is greyed out and not able to restart. Does the app require HomeKit in experiments to be disabled?
