[Edge] Driver for Aqara Switches and Remotes

@veonua It doesn’t seems like any feature or settings were gone.

But this is not about sluggish performance. It’s more of a bug? Maybe let me rephrase.
The child switch is connected to a light. It turns on and off without any issue. However there are some instances where the switch is turned off, the light still remains turned on. The physical aqara switch button LED is also turned off. The light will still continue to be turned on indefinitely until I press the switch button to turn on and off again.

Hope this clarify the issue I’m facing.

I want to use your switch driver with

lumi.remote.acn004

Seems that this device is no longer supported , I can’t change the Thing MC driver to your driver. Can you please check ?

Hello! I have a WS-EUK03. There are no button actions with the basic smartthings driver. I downloaded the driver published here, the button action menu item appeared, but it does not respond to button presses. If I connect it again, it does not update the data with the center. What can I do?

I think there is a problem with Aqara E1 devices that @veonua was unable to fix. You better consider replace them with Aqara D1 devices that works better with ST.

The other option for some of these models is to connect them to an aqara hub which can work as a matter bridge, and then bring them over to SmartThings via matter. This definitely works with some of the E1 models, but you would have to check with aqara to find out which specific ones.

We use this method at our house, and it works very well. No custom drivers required.

If you’re thinking about buying new hardware anyway, switching to the matter connection might be easier and less expensive, and certainly give you more features, than just trashing the D1 models. :thinking:

A post was split to a new topic: Switch to trigger light source, not relay? (EU)

Kindly send me the log from ST CLI in a PM and label the events according to the button presses.

@veonua this edge driver is works with wireless aqara dimmer h1?

No, AFAIK there is no support for rotary dimmers or rotate feature on the ST platform.
However, direct binding might be possible.

Is there any chance to get update on WSDCGQ11LM (Aqara temperature and humidity sensor) There is a lot of people saying that it is possible to bypass 0.5°C update limit by setting “temperature_precision.”

Quote “Seems that it indeed affects reporting rate too. In most sensors, I have set 0.1 precision for temperature and 0.0 precision for humidity.”

temperature_precision- Number of digits after decimal point for temperature

@veonua Greetings I have the Aqara Double Rocker wall witch with neutral WS-USC04 (lumi.switch.b2naus01) and I am using the edge driver (Aqara/Xiaomi Switch and Button v25) the switch shows me the two buttons separately inside the switch controller and that is fine I can create individual routines but in the quick tab when selecting on or off only one button is selected therefore only one light turns on, I tried to create routines to turn on both at the same time but they do not work with samsung home monitor because it only allows me to select the switch and not individual buttons. Is it possible to make the on and off quick tab select both buttons simultaneously when turning on and off? Please could you help me with that or don’t know if I’m missing something.
Thanks
When I refer to the quick tab it would be the one marked in red in the photo.

You can sort it by using a virtual switch and a routine that will turn on both switches when the virtual switch is on and another routine to turn both off when virtual switch is off

I think you are looking for a light group

Or Virtual Switch as @dotan_shai mentioned

I do not use Smarttings for dashboards so I do not know the pros and cons of these two approaches

Light groups are cloud based, the virtual switches with automations are local. And maybe the group cannot be created if it’s only one device.

They are apparently making light groups local but at least for me does not work so I still try to avoid them: Hub Firmware Beta Group | Local Execution for Lighting Groups is Ready for Testing - #10 by mocelet

However, since the purpose is using the app and the app is cloud based anyway, I’d say it doesn’t matter.

It’s like @mocelot says, if it’s a single device it doesn’t allow you to create groups of lights.

It would be great if you could make the quick panel button of the switch turn on or off both buttons, I consider that should be the normal operation of the switch.

Because as I say with routines you can’t make both buttons work with samsung home monitor and creating virtual switches is not solved because for samsung dashboard effects if you leave the button below on, it doesn’t show it as on, for all samsung dashboard/functions it marks 0 lights on.

If it is not possible to alter the panel quickly maybe add some option from the menu but I imagine it is already a lot of work.

I’m using @joshua_lyon Sharptools.io dashboard in order to control devices. You can get 15 tiles for free and everything is free for 14 days. In my panel I’m also controlling separately aqara devices that appear as 1 device in ST app, and 2 switches in my dashboard.

Thanks for the info, it’s good to know that there are other options, I’ll give it a look.

Hi, I’ve split the dashboard experimentally for the device model lumi.switch.b2naus01 in v26.
Try removing and adding the device. If everything goes well, it should be displayed as two separate devices on the ST dashboard.
Let me know if something goes off.

Thank you very much, I will wait for v26 to be available and tell you if everything works correctly.

Hi, sorry to bother you but I wanted to know when the v26 version will be available.
I’m not familiar with the edge driver update process on ST.
