Im new with Homey and in this forum. Have read some old article and i see that people was facing similar problems.
Stright to the issue : I use Homey pro / zigbee protocol to add Aqara temp. hum. pres. sensors and instant it works refreshing etc. after the 5-10min done, its not refreshin, dont indicates new mesuenrs and if try add again Soft say its already in a system, there are zero options to choose from what to do with it in Homey i mean like comand refresh or do flow like refresh every 3h or smrh. I was wondering that i need aqara HUB, alsmost diddnt buy it today but did some research - and finaly im here.
So if there is any who can help to make it work - would be pleasure to speak.
By the way water leak sensors works fine tomorrow ill try add more of them to see the issue remains like in 2021 topics.’ Then u add more then one - they stop working)
Please go to Homey Developer Tools and check Last Seen timestamp, does it update as well or not? If not, I would say you don’t have sufficient number of routers. Also try to completely remove the sensor and pair it in short distance again, to see any improvements. Last but not least (or better to say, first ) , ensure you have good battery - you can also easily recognize it based on the brightness of the LED when you shortly press with button on the sensor.
Honestly, ping do not work well on battery operated devices… he would need to keep the sensor awake by pressing the button and wait for 10min and maybe even more to get ping back.
Oh that’s new to me. Is it with all brands / device types from your experience? I just tried with a couple of different devices from Aeotec and frient, all running on battery and they all responded within 2 seconds I’m curious now. I’m on Homey Pro 2023, not sure if that change anything?
I can confirm this is the case for sure with Xiaomi / Aqara battery operated devices but based on what you wrote, I actually did some new test. Majority of devices did not respond to ping within 10sec - got timeout. Surprisingly some did, eg. Smoke sensors or Xiaomi LYWSD03MMC did respond within 10sec, so it looks like the experience might vary.
Thanks. For context, I don’t have any zigbee routers / extenders (for now at least) and all of them regulary reports data such as temperature or energy. None of them are just on/off type of devices. After reading couple of issues here in the community with Aqara, I bought one just for fun but I’m waiting a few more weeks before adding it to see if that will break my very stable zigbee network
Omg so many reply, how we can go on whatsup or somewhere to have fast comunication ? Im not pro at some things but i can do if some explains me im based in europe so time dif. Maybe a sad thing but i cam handle it to make all work, i just build a homes kind a smart :)) or trying to do it and all my things mostly is zigbee protocol lile ligjts etc but all them most all works fine, just some flows get lost sometimes but this is later now is important to me see humidity and temperature and presure coz i have air system in all homes, also have very young boy wanna make all work coz of dry air and noise problems for him…
So how we can comunicate real time to try to solve sensors ?

Also:
Wake up device when pinging, it cannot receive commands when asleep.
Yea means they go sleep so maybe i need aqara bridge to set some refresh timers on it and update or something like that…
------ good morning after 3h sleep lol, and thanks to dev tool …
Yesterday also try wirh chatGBT and did all he ask to check i get responses in web-api and later on i did create app coz chatgbt we found the right commands to wake sensor up. But in the end coz then i deside to create APP with many functions and get fckup :)) today ill try solve rhe problem but i believe i found rhe problem with sensor and solve it just now need add functions in app and would be perfect thing for many users.
Anyway maybe we can create whastup group who is interested alot in all Homey things ?
Im sure you know better but - not right coz im able simple way to do my app with code and that app trigger sensor to messure a humidity and temp intest and tey yesterday 4h i was sitting till middle of night and it works i did refresh time every 5min and everything was indicate and show from sensor i even put it in diff temp to see is really changing - and its.
Just in options and flows to have selection like :
check now to have button to check etc would be nice
Ill paste code if you interested how i wake them up
Im not a programer and not any kind of dev :))) but chatgbt helps alot
I dont know its code or some i found out, coz as i say im not a programmer even not close but have some ideas just dont understand coding so chatgbt was best friend, indeed i will paste a logs from chatgbt so you and everyone may take a look into it and see real thing, coz i can say only its works or no. Ill do some checks again later today and if success still in my side ill paste everything i find out here with pleasure :)) my new homes not done yet and smart things was the last thing to go true. so future i will have more ant more questions topics and also try to find solutions :)) its interesting just eats time i always say - more heads always is a key to success
Thanks for active responses
It’s impossible what you’re trying to achieve. I have 2 Aqara temp & humidity sensors, and it reports change only when difference between readings is significant. When I’m taking shower, this sensor triggers even every 10 seconds, when humidity raises quickly. You can’t control this algorithm or settings by yourselve.

I’m curious now. I’m on Homey Pro 2023, not sure if that change anything?
and get fckup :)) today ill try solve rhe problem but i believe i found rhe problem with sensor and solve it just now need add functions in app and would be perfect thing for many users.
