I got some new Aqara (vibration) sensors today. I tried adding it as all my other sensors but this time it doesn’t work. I currently have 20 sensors connected. Already tried restarting the Xiaomi/Aqara app and Homey completely but that made no difference. Then I deleted one of the devices (button) to test if it was a matter of too many paired devices, but also no. Also tried adding a magnet sensor which I had as spare to rule out it was just a problem with the vibration sensor, but also that sensor won’t add also. The app only shows this and doesn’t respond to anything until timeout. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/0/0c5987d0c91b05b3bac2291ebfc5449dca7f77b8.png) Anyone else has a clue? ---

How many repeater/router devices in your network? ---

This device has a lot of parameters working with, so it takes a long time (and many pushes on the include button) before all parameters are done, you can see the progress of the parameters on your display normally, (like 1/15 2/15 … up to 15/15 not sure if this the right amount). ---

Yeah but the thing is it never goes further then the attached screenshot. The same with the human body sensor so it’s not specifically with the vibration sensor… ---

And you are sure that the devices are Zigbee? ---

Yes I’m sure, they are all ZigBee. ---

My last suggestion, **very close to Homey** , but you probably tried that. ---

Ah, another Aqara topic. We didn’t have that. Are u sure the led blinked 3 times when trying to add? And no, blinking 10 times or 20 times in a row is not the 3 times u need to get to add the device. ---

Yeah I didn’t want to spam in the main Aqara topic… It blinks 2 times then after a couple of sec the 3rd. Never had any issues before, it’s not my first Aqara device. ---

That topic did not show in the search results. And I also did the keep alive trick. And like I said I also can’t add the human body sensor any more which was no problem at all a couple weeks ago. ---

And does the led of that sensor blink 3 times? ---

It does the same as the vibration sensor now. Tried the keepalive trick a couple times now and 1 time it got to ‘adding device’ but in the end still timeout. Earlier I just pressed the button a couple seconds and there was an immediate reaction in the Homey app (cluster updating or something like that)… ---

I managed to add one of the removed mini wireless switches again. But another switch, magnet sensor or vibration sensor? Nope still not working 😒 ---

I have no solution. Had the same problems as you. Tried for more than an hour and eventually succeeded. But I have no clue why. I did probably eveything you did. What i did was adding it and pushing the button 3 times, sometimes 1 time. Holding the button for 10-60 seconds Retrying to add etc etc. Eventually it worked. I had the device almost glued on top of homey. ---

Still no luck for me. Took them to a mate which also owns a Homey. They worked instantly 😣 [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/unable-to-add-additional-aqara-devices/14006.md?page=2)
