Looks like a different issue, nothing significant was changed in that part of code. If available, can you goto the app log and PM me the log of that event?

Would it be possible to get sleep/awake status from PF2-sensor? I have changed the PF2 to “sleep monitor” in Aqara app but only get status on presence in Homey.

No info is provided via FP2 homekit to support that.

Hey. i just bought an Aqara FP2 but i can’t connect it to my Homey Pro via Homekit. I’ve tried connecting it to the Aqara Home app as well but that won’t help. In some tries i seem to get communication with the sensor judging by the log;

The app crashes very frequently for me after latest update. Diagnostic report: 8f73cb29-6793-4c1c-9b66-5b630da2b8de

can you explain a bit more, i have 1 crash and your diagnostic in 3000 installs with this version 😉

I thought you would easily see the details in the diagnostics file; Whenever I add either a smart plug from DoHome, or remove it, restart both Homey Pro and the app, and add a smart plug from Athom, the app starts to crash every 5 minutes to 15 minutes or so.

Whatever HomeKit smart plug in other words. Which is so odd to me considering it’s the simplest device.

The only log item I can recognise as relevant to the crashing is a high cpu warning, which is shown as at 100% in the app performance section of the developer tools (just above 0% usually).

I’m on the latest (non-beta) firmware for the Homey Pro early 2023 and latest HomeKit Controller app.

Side note: I do also have some HomeKit air purifiers added as devices via the HC app, and they lose connection or just won’t be controlled from Homey, but those are complex and probably non-standard HomeKit devices, so I haven’t made any bug reports for them. I’ve never had any issues similar to this with HomeKit, home.app or Home Assistant’s HomeKit integration.

Do you already have the device added or is that impossible? If it is added goto device and settings then pm me JSON field of both the doHome and the purifier.

Hi @Martin_Verbeek, I’ve just added an RA Pulse 2 Hub and have been able to add the window shade devices, however when trying to operate the new devices I’m getting errors for the bridge device.

Have I miss configured something or missing a step to get this working correctly?

I’ve pasted a copy of the log entries for the error below.

I’ve been able to isolate the issue to just when trying to use “Open” for a device, either via a card or the device controls. The shades will open correctly if I use the position function and set the value to 100%.

I am trying to pair one of my FP2’s with Homey Pro. I follow the instructions, when I get to the screen I enter the PIN and it gives me an error “Onpair No Service Found For Device” I can try diffrent pin code with the same results. Some one that has an ideer?

I’ve been at it on and off for 2 weeks now, and today I was able to install the Aqara FP2 presence sensor in Homey Pro 2023. This is what worked for me (mainly got it to work from this topic: [Can you connect aqara presence sensor FP2 to homey? - #22 by Greg\_Warren](https://community.homey.app/t/can-you-connect-aqara-presence-sensor-fp2-to-homey/94017/22)). I found that if i tried to pair the device and it was unsuccessfull, it won’t allow a succesfull pairing later from that point on, hence below process:

- remove the sensor from aqara app
- restart the homekit app in hp23
- Greg mentioned he had to turn off mobile internet.
- reinstall the presence sensor to aqara app.
- sensor shows up for pairing through the homekit app.
- enter the correct pin on the back of the device. I mistook a 0 for an 8 😂
- it should now pair with hp23.

Now, first pairing did fail for me, not because of the wrong pin. 2nd try was successfull.

Hi all

I’m trying hard to add my FP2 sensor to Homey but without any luck. The HomeKit Controller app just doesn’t see the sensor.

What I did (a couple of times):

- remove and re-install the HomeKit Controller app (version 1.3.18)
- remove the sensor from aqara app
- Reset the sensor by holding down the button for 10 seconds, until the light starts flashing
- restart the homekit app in hp23
- on phone, turn off mobile internet.
- reinstall the presence sensor to aqara app.
- Remove it from apple home, since I use an iPhone - strange thing: I cannot find the sensor in my apple home app, but if I try to add it again it says it is already present and I can remove it.
- power off the sensor
- start adding a device for the homey HomeKit controller app.
- power on the sensor, wait for the light to blink
- Press “install” on the app

The result: only the Tado bridge is found as device. I already have that device in homey so don’t want to add that again…

Any help is appreciated.

Kind regards,  
Paul
