The Styrbar (in default configuration) sends commands to a fixed Zigbee group, and the Aqara switch (in default configuration) happens to listen to that same group. So at least one of the two devices has to be thrown out of that group, which unfortunately is not possible with Homey.

> De Styrbar stuurt (in standaard configuratie) opdrachten naar een vaste Zigbee groep, en de Aqara schakelaar (in standaard configuratie) luistert toevallig naar diezelfde groep. Minstens één van de twee apparaten moet dus uit die groep gegooid worden, wat helaas niet mogelijk is met Homey.
