Mi motion sensor (RTCGQ01LM) - connect to smarthings

[Hans_Kuepper]

Hello, my smarthings hub V 3 does not find them. In the supported devices do not see Mi or Xiaomi. I have lots of aquara and all works fine. What is needed / any way to connect them to Smartthings? Thanks Hans

Install this driver:

Hello Andreas, thanks for the fast reply. These great edge drivers I already have installed for some time. Tried to find the devices with near you search, using the aqara different motion sensors. But they do not show up / connect. Thanks

Try the Zigbee Motion Sensor Mc from here:

https://api.smartthings.com/invitation-web/accept?id=6b68563b-1905-4654-8d2b-e677a2997424

And if this doesn’t work, we’d have to find out the devices fingerprint…

Maybe these instructions can help you

Having set everything up with the above this is the approach I take every time and every time it works to get these devices registered.

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

Hello Andreas,
thanks. I tried and tried again with the initial edge driver and now the MI Motion sensor devices connected. Took several tries but finally all three new MI motion sensors connected.

One issue I have with a different device. Aquara.Rocker switch

Wireless Remote Switch - Aqara

The rocker switch with two buttons connects and stays connected. (works really great). The single rocker connects. 2-3 days all fine. But then stops to function and / or disconnects from the network. (Signal strenght should not be issue, as next to it a Motions Sensor which works fine and single rockers are the only devices disconnecting in my network). Thanks for any idea! Hans

Do you have any Zigbee routers/repeaters (mains powered, not battery powered devices) in your network? A Zigbee smart plug, for example, in every room can greatly enhance the mesh network.
