Aeotec Compatible Light Switch?

Devices & Integrations
1

1stly, hi all and my very first post is asking for assistance. Thanks in advance.

I have just switched over to the AEOtec Hub from the Smartthings V2. Everything has paired nicely except none of my AQARA Light Switches will pair? I even purchased a new and can not get that working either. I think the originals are D1, the new is E1. I am in UK. I have installed edge drivers and got 1 to work which is the oldest i had with no Neutral Wire.

My question is are there any model AQARA that will work and without the AQARA HUB but will connect to the AEOTEC direct? Or what light switches are compatible with the AEOTEC either AQARA or a different brand? Any advice gratefully received. Want to get my lighting back functional? Regards. I am in UK. . .

If you had them working with the v2 hub, they will work with the aeotec hub with the same drivers.
Aqara devices can be a little tricky to pair, try to bring then closer to the hub.

How do i change channel, Zigabee? Aeotec read all posts and can not find this anywhere. When i try and login to old IDE is takes me to a BETA Version nothing there to change it?

Or the hub closer to the switch (temporarily).

5

I have tried, both switches are in the same room as the hub? The one that connected is downstairs miles away in the kitchen.

6

When the hub is in pairing mode, the switches pairing mode is very short. When the hub is not pairing, the switches pairing mode is long.

7

If I was to purchase new switches, which ones are compatible with the aerotec hub but dont need their own hub, in other words something similar easier to pair? Mainly use single button with neutral switches. . .

You can find a list directly in the app:

you can change the hub channel here: SmartThings Advanced Web App
But you probably don´t need this, just that part:

  1. I make sure that I can get the Sensor within 1 inch of the front of my Aeotec v3 hub.
  2. Run a scan for devices in Smartthings
  3. For each sensor I follow the process of holding down the pairing button for 5 seconds until I see the 3 blinks. I then press the reset button on a 1 second cadence always ending it before the scanning cycle completes. (No proof currently but again my perception of this is over a few different deployments is that ending before the scan cycle works the best)
  • For the plug its generally the same except you are holding down the Power Button
