Hi, I am having trouble connecting Aqara Vibration sensor to Homey directly, without the bridge. - Upon pressing the button for 5 seconds nothing happens, usually. - On two occasions I’d managed to the screen 'Adding the device". Homey app stays on this screen and results in the No device found message. - Pairing in close vicinity. - I tried removing the device from Zigbee framework via settings, won’t remove either. - Restarted the Aqara Home app. All this to no avail. Any ideas? ---

Same here; same goes for the body motion sensors. Ted is already aware of that issue. ---

Wasn’t it so for Aqara devices that you have to keep pushing the button every second to keep it alive while pairing? ---

Hi, I had the same thing. As @Fire69 already said, you have to keep pushing the button. And keep trying, it might not work the first couple of times. ---

Yeah but No but… only for some devices it was the case. For the sensors I really (really!!) tried hard, about 50 times - didn’t work out. ---

I can confirm they won’t pair automatically, But I found out it will work if after the first long press, you press it every 2 seconds (led blinks) all the way when the device is finally added. Maybe it’s overkill , but it worked for me! Good luck! ---

I have the same issue. Will try your suggestion and come back with feedback in a few minutes ---

Thank you Victor! You are a hero! Keep clicking the button while pairing is in progress helped!! ---

Great tip, I managed to add 2 devices like that. Perhaps an idea to include this advice in the instructions. ---

Very grateful for this thread! Almost gave up on them!
