Hello community,
I bought aqara plug H2 EU and I tried to connect it with thread for matter. Impossible, there is not a matter qrcode.
How I can connect it? On the box there is a star to said “ZigBee 3.0 hub required”. This is the solution? If I add this router it will be a border router of my homey pro?
Does the plug can run as a router?
Please help me I don’t understand the homey value in this case.
On it’s own it’s a regular zigbee device, it should be possible to add it to Homey as generic zigbee device

Yes. It"s also clearly stated in the first sentence of the product page
Meaning, Aqara is fooling you a bit when you don’t read the small prints;
The outlet is only available as Matter device to Homey if paired with the Aqara Hub
Thanks you @DirkG for the welcome message and the rules, I will take care of it.
Thank you @Peter_Kawa for your feedback. Small prints are important in domotic, you are completely right!
Regarding pairing has ZigBee device I don’t understand but it’s only work as an energy meter but not for on/off feature there is a timeout. Also the official aqara qpp don’t support this new device.
I come from domoticz with more than 50 rfxcom devices and when I had an issue I developed but now I’m a bit struggling…
YW, Polargeex.
Ah too bad!
That’s really odd, basic on/off functionality should work out of the box.
I know not long ago the measuring functionality was added to the generic zigbee driver with firmware v10.1.0, so maybe there’s a little bug you found.
Please report the issue to homey.app/support, because the generic zigbee driver is maintained by Athom
Thanks I did the repport with some capture. In both case with the aqara app and with the ZigBee protocol on/off don’t work.
Regarding the aqara router do you know if he will have a behavior of a zone border or he will be an additional rooter to the homey?
Regards
I have the same issue with the H2 plug. I hope that it will be fixed soon.
Same here. It is added as generic zigbee device but is not controllable of HP 2023. also no power measuring available. Glad to have the Aqara Hub here.
For all i confirm that everything works now, aqara hub is unuseful.
