Same sensor is not found,i try to reboot Homey,the Fp2 and even change the power supply but nothing…  
But the app found my tado bridge and a Somfy camera,even the Homey when i select Apple homekit in the advanced experience in homey’s settings

Is the sensor already paired with another HomeKit controller (like your phone)? If so, that will be the reason why it doesn’t work.

If you are using v0.0.3 of HomeKit Controller App in Homey, try v.0.0.10 version (is still in test) with several improvements. I’m using 0.0.10 myself and it works quite well not having any Apple device.

Thanks,but sadly even with the 0.0.10 version Homey doesn’t find the Fp2 sensor…

Things I have tried last week. A combination of them was sucessful. I honestly don’t know which combination is right. After each step, check the connection in the Homekit app; if it is working, you do need need to execute the other steps. First store your personal Zone settings in the Aqara app as a personal template, so you can reuse this:

- unplug, wait 10 seconds and plug the FP2 device
- restart the Homekit app
- remove Homekit app and (re)install v0.0.10 Test version (again)
- restart Homey device
- soft reset FP2: delete FP2 from Aqara app + push and hold for at least **10 seconds** the FP2 button (fast blinking yellow light) + reconnect with Aqara app + reload personal zones in Aqara app
- hard reset FP2 (factory reset): delete FP2 from Aqara app + push FP2 button **10 times** (fast blinking yellow light) + reconnect with Aqara app + reload personal zones in Aqara app

Hi folks, I just bought a Homey Pro 2023 and an Aqara FP2, thinking I could just use the Aqara app to set it up.

Clearly not!

Is the easiest way to make this work to buy the Aqara hub and somehow connect it to the Homey Pro? Or would that not even work?

TBH, I’d rather just have a Zigbee presence sensor so that everything can be handled locally and doesn’t rely on the manufacturer remaining in business for it to work!

Does anybody know of such a sensor that works with Homey Pro 2023?

I don’t need anything fancy - I was juet going to put it in our smallest bedroom to turn the lamp on when I was in there, so I don’t need zones or anything.

OK, I’ve just done that myself and got it working.

What issues is everyone else having then?

After many attemps,finally Homey found my Fp2 sensor !!I had to reboot the sensor and do the research when the yellow lights was blinking the first 2 seconds  
Now i will have fun!Thanks to Martin Verbeek for the app

Hi,  
could anybody please give a step by step instruction for the Homekit Controller App?  
Must the sensor be paired to Aqara app and all the zones defined?  
Do I have to reset it after that to make the green light blink again?  
Tried everything, but don´t get it connected…

The forum is in Dutch, so no way to get it 😉

Thanks Thilo

OK, so I downloaded the Aqara app and all that, but ultimately just have it connected with Alexa. It’s not showing in the Homey at all. Bugger.

Which part are you referring to?  
The start page is in English, this topic is in English…

The preferred language here is Dutch, and the site still shows English

Hi Peter,

I referred to the Homekit Controller page:

> [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] Homekit Controller for Homey](https://community.homey.app/t/homekit-controller-for-homey/93007):
>
> English [Homekit Controller Homey](https://community.homey.app/t/homekit-controller-homey/94520) Begonnen als een manier om de Aqara FP2-sensor via Homekit in Homey op te nemen. Maar nu wordt het algemener gemaakt. Homekit capable device aan app van de leverancier toevoegen, eventueel configureren etc. heb je het met een iOS device toegevoegd dan moet je het device verwijderen uit iOS Home App, een device kan maar 1 controller hebben en dat moet de Homey app worden. Meestal is het device vanaf nu beschikbaar om aan deze App toe te voegen. Ik maak d…

The link is on the page of the app.

But I didn´t want to critizise the forum or get into some kind of general discussion, just asked for help with the FP2 and the app…  
Regards Thilo

Ah I see, Thilo,

Oh no, I didn’t think of it as criticizing for a second, no worries, I just wondered where you encountered text in Dutch 😊  
And with ‘Forum’ you meant ‘topic’ as I understand now.

I use [deepl.com](http://deepl.com) or [translate.google.com](http://translate.google.com) to translate written text, maybe it can translate the Dutch to something what makes more sense to you 😉
