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 > ![1000033667](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/0/e0bcabc510e8c55fc4f1451572562961e0e28132.jpeg) > [Source](https://www.aqara.com/eu/product/wall-outlet-h2-eu-specs/) \_ > [@Polargeex](#): > > On the box there is a star to said “ZigBee 3.0 hub required”. This is the solution? Yes. It"s also clearly stated in the first sentence of the product page ![1000033665](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/2/721a3e137ad9da20e698d0a62dcdd17cb656f810.jpeg) 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. > [@Polargeex](#): > > it’s only work as an energy meter, but not for on/off feature there is a timeout. 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](https://homey.app/en-us/wiki/homey-pro-early-2023-firmware-changelog/), 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.
