I can’t connect my “Aqara Smoke Detector” to my Homey. Pairing works, but the detector is recognized as a Zigbee device, and there’s no status feedback. The ID in the properties is “lumi.sensor\_smoke.acn03”. HELP 🙂 ---

Hi Dominique, welcome on this Forum … did you install the [Aqara App](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.xiaomi-mi/Aqara/)? Is the smoke detector an Xiaomi or a Heiman version? ---

Hello. Of course, I’ve installed the Aqara app. As for the model, it is indeed an Aqara Smoke Detector. [https://www.galaxus.ch/fr/s4/product/aqara-rauchmelder-alarme-52500827?supplier=406802](https://www.galaxus.ch/fr/s4/product/aqara-rauchmelder-alarme-52500827?supplier=406802) ---

… then I assume this is a Zigbee issue more then a Aqara issue, which I have encountered many times myself. Sometimes switching from adding via the Phone app to the Desktop app helped. Otherwise I do not see another alternative then: [Homey Support](https://homey.app/nl-nl/support/) and/or the App developer [Aqara support](https://community.athom.com/t/156) Take a look here [Developer Tools](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/zigbee) to see if your device can be found here … Your link brings me to an Error: ˵ERR\_HTTP2\_PROTOCOL\_ERROR˶ ---

Link (now) works ![1000042083](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/5/b5b0abe15e0fa6e2c0a05e6067a64bdb4ea64352.jpeg) ![1000042085](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/7/f7f5c64fd9d7bc91fe0665e67a975284f0d7f642.jpeg) @Dominique_Schaerli Aqara and Xiaomi are sort of made by the same manufacturer. Always check Aqara app and Xiaomi mi home app for certain device support. The [Xiaomi mi home app](https://homey.app/en-nl/app/com.xiaomi-miio/Xiaomi-Mi-Home/) seem to support this Aqara smoke sensor, but only combined with the Xiaomi gateway (zoom in): ![1000042089](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/3/0319dd9a51f43e7c10e6320b6686d2d3e1cd3d30.jpeg) “Funny” enough, the Aqara app seems to support the same sensor, branded as Xiaomi Honeywell 🤔🫣 ![1000042087](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/3/7339ed40fcd2695ef817d9273314f3b029d8c8fb.jpeg) ---

My experience is that _Heiman_ versions will not pair with the Homey/Aqara App. ![Heiman_2025-01-24](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/a/9a791f6fcdff6dc43ea5f423944eba7f919bf7ff.png) ---

> [@Ruurd\_van\_der\_Noord](#): > > _Heiman_ versions will not pair with the Homey/Aqara App Correct, there is a Heiman App, [Heiman App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/a/com.heiman/) and that only supports the Z-wave, not the Zigbee variants. ---

Nice to read that there is a Z-Wave variant from Heiman!
