Goodmorning, i’m running a homey self hosted server. And i have bought the gardena smart gateway and smart soil sensor wich are running fine and is connected to Homey. Now i bought this smart water control from gardena so i can automate my irrigation: smart Water Control | GARDENA I firstly added the smart water control to the gardena gateway and this has been detected and i can trigger it however when i go and add it via the gardena homey app, this will not be detected.Gardena | Homey The soil sensor is added via the same way, but this water control will not. What i did so far; Rebooted homey Rebooted the nas Removed the gardena app, and rebooted homey, add the app again. Reset the water control and rebound it to the gardena smart gateway. Does anyone have any advise to solve this issue?

I just added a support/feature request and asked for a roadmap/expectation. As soon as I hear back from Homey, I’ll update it here too :wink:

same here, waiting for the smart Dual Water Control to be supported in the official Gardena app. In the meantime I use a work-around with Homekitty…

Hi What is your workaround? Never know if it will take weeks or months before support for the new duo controller is added.

I can’t get my Smart Dual Water Control to work either, but I’ve added a request: Gardena | Homey - please chime in there so we can hopefully get some attention to the issue!

The Dual Water can be controlled with HomeKit (Apple). So I made a Virtual Button in Homey that triggers a flow in HomeKit using Homekitty

[image] Eve Aqua intergratie in Homey Vragen & hulp Hallo allemaal, ik heb laatst een Eve Aqua (2nd gen) gekocht om mijn bewatering voor mijn tuin te automatiseren. Als ik deze wil aanmelden in mijn Homekit, gaat dat zonder problemen, maar als ik deze wil toevoegen aan mijn Homey, krijg ik dit niet voor elkaar. Nu lees ik dat de Eve Aqua Bluetooth over Thread is en de Homey ondersteund dit (nog) niet. Is er een andere mogelijkheid dat ik de Eve Aqua kan koppelen aan mijn Homey? Bij voorbaat dank!

You mention a Homekitty workaround for the Smart Dual Water Control. Could you explain how you connected the Dual Water Control to Apple Home and whether you’re using a Gardena Smart Gateway?

Did anyone hear back from Athom on a timeline for this being added?

First add the Dual Water Control to Apple HomeKit Then you make 2 virtual buttons in Homey with “virtuele apparaten”. Using the app Homekitty in Homey, you export these 2 buttons to Homekit (switch them to ON in the settings of Homekitty) In Homey, you make triggers/flows to activate the 2 virtual buttons, in Homekit, you make a flow that let the virtual buttons trigger the GDWC

I didn’t receive any feedback on this, but it seems like a lot more people experience this issue
