Added Aqara door & window contact to HomeyPro.  
According to Xiaomi, this contact also has a temperature sensor, see the url below.

> Integrate your Xiaomi MCCGQ11LM via Zigbee2MQTT with whatever smart home infrastructure you are using without the vendors bridge or gateway.

Can’t read the temperature with my HomeyPro?

Contact works fine and battery status too.  
Please comment on this item.

I’m sorry, but [zigbee2mqtt.io](http://zigbee2mqtt.io) has it wrong imho.

These are all Aqara contact sensor’s capabilities (NO temperature capability) :

Xiaomi says:  
[XiaomiProducts | Xiaomi Aqara Deur en Raam Sensor - XiaomiProducts](https://www.xiaomiproducts.nl/nl/xiaomi-aqara-deur-en-raam-sensor-104834619.html) Nothing about temperature capabilities

No they’re not.

That’s confusing, Robert. So it’s a hidden capability then, and zigbee2mqtt found out about it?  
[xiaomiproducts.nl](https://xiaomiproducts.nl) doesn’t mention any temperature sensor, so does the Ali store I bought [those contact sensors](https://a.aliexpress.com/_msv4ZKe) from…

The screenshot I was showing is from deCONZ, not zigbee2mqtt, so it’s not _that_ hidden (the temperature sensor is built into the main MCU of the device, so it’s not very accurate, but it _is_ exposed over Zigbee). I don’t know why the Homey app doesn’t support it.
