So a friend of mine gave me an Aqara FP2 (thnx buddy!) Normally you can just add almost anything into Homey native or via community app. But the FP2 desided to be a little princess and is not having it. Stubborn as i am, i wasn’t going to let this little sensor get the better of me. I have found a good and reliable way to get the FP2 working into Homey (Pro 2023). What i’m about to tell i also did with **Google Home, but the latency was killing me** and i rather would walk to the wall switch than let this annoy the hell out of me. **So the situation:** Tools needed \> **Homey Pro (2023)** / **Apple Homekit hub** / **Aqara FP2 + Home app** / [**HomeKitty community app**](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/name.klep.homekitty/HomeKitty/) / **In Homey Settings \> experimental \> enable virtual devices** So i hope i’m doing this right otherwise i just spend allot of typing for nothing There are 3 situations to setup into making this all work: **Homey** , **Apple Homekit** and the **Aqara app** for the FP2 sensor. I’ll start with Homey first as this works into Apple Homekit. **Homey:** Go into Homey and add a virtual _switch_ under the Homey brand logo and finish the adding of the device. Now have 1 virtual switch with the default name, i would suggest renaming this into something unique and easy to recognise for when you have multiple switches. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/7/d77b10419f7c245d39a8ee8596e7f85ee3c91cb6.png) The device can now be used as a regular on and off switch in your flows, this is up to you with what you want to do with this. For example enable \> light on / disable \> light off. **HomeKitty APP:** Install the app and add it to your Apple Homekit as a bridge (here are probably other tutorials for that already) In Homey \> Settings \> APPS \> HomeKitty \> Configuration \> List of devices \> Enable the devices you want to sync **to** Apple Homekit. I only used the virtual switches but you can sync any other device you like, up to you. Apple Homekit does not sync to Homey, this is only one way sync. **In case Apple HomeKit asks you what kind of device it is use a wall socket.** _At this point you made a virtual switch and synced this into your Apple HomeKit._ ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/5/f55368a372aa62dbe17109992b09b53dc3963815.jpeg) **Aqara Home APP:** I’m assuming you already have the FP2 Sensor setup and working within the APP. Its important to know that **every detetion zone** you make **is seen as a device** In the Aqara Home APP \> Profile \> HomeKit and this to your Apple Homekit _At this point you have added the virtual switches from Homey to Apple HomeKit and devices (detection zones) from the Aqara APP._ ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/6/36614bad7a84868bcb630136ed1f21a8e239635c.png) **Apple HomeKit:** In HomeKit you are not going to do a lot but its just a translation between Aqara and Homey. So now we are going to tie the 2 system together you’ll need a **Apple Hub** for this as you need the **automations**. In HomeKit you are going to make an automation that will enable the virtual switch from Homey when presence is detected and another automation to disable the switch when someone is absence. I made a extra room in HomeKit (“Homey”) for the virtual switch to find them easy for when here are a lot of devices in HomeKit **Presence \> Enable switch** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/a/ba4c72640d98e5e03e78c1669d0c1daa8eee7499.png) **Absence \> Disable switch** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/1/f12001a8a5fe5ed8bf01f826701984e820b4837d.png) Here are multiple switches and automations i made in HomeKit ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/3/f3d8aa4db1f68d80604fe7aee1565ed27781ea96.jpeg) Step into a zone and the virtual Homey switch is enable with the flow you made (example light on) Step out of the zone and the virtual Homey switch is disabled with the flow you made (example light off) In my case i used Philips Hue and used specific scenes. I have yet to find an issue with this setup and am very please so far with it. **Good luck champs!** \ ***Luminance** Additionally i made virtual switch with the Apple HomeKit automation to enable the switch when lux is below 10 and disable the switch when lux is above 10. Choose whatever lux value works for you. ---

I’m struggling to get this to work. Just to be clear. When saying “remove from home app” they’re referring to removing Homey bridge from HomeKit? So reset in Aqara, reinstall in Aqara, remove homey bridge from HomeKit then I should see it in HomeKit controller when adding device in Homey Pro? ---

Most probably they mean ‘Remove Aqara FP2 from Home app’, and Home app = probably something Apple related. Not sure what Homey bridge got to do with it, I think you shouldn’t remove it from anywhere. But please ask in this topic > [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] HomeKit Controller - for a better Homey](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-homekit-controller-for-a-better-homey/94520): > > Project started as a way to include the Aqara FP2-sensor via Homekit into Homey.

That’s it, for the simple fact that most (all?) regular (non-Matter) HomeKit-enabled devices can only be connected to one HomeKit controller (so _either_ an iDevice _or_ Homey, but not both at the same time). ---

I would recommend the following: reset the FP2 network/homekit settings (hold the button until it starts flashing) add it back to Aqara app again. In your case remove it from iOS Home. Goto test version of Homekit controller and wait until it appears (the pairing dialog will refresh continously). If not be displayed within a few minutes (the FP2 can take long) power cycle the FP2 to force advertisement). Then just add. ---

I actually gave up, no way I could make it connect. It would not release the Home app admin. I’ve tried so many times, but it will not set paring to 1 again. But added it in HA, then deleted it in Home app. It connected right away. Then I made a connection between Homey and HA, and got it in that way… So I’ve got use of the sensor. Going to buy one more and see if it behaves the same way.
