Thanks for answer. Have you already added the code into your device handler:

Sorry, that’s not my device handler.

The updated Aqara Button DTH which supports the new WXG12LM model is part of the bspranger/Xiaomi GitHub repository.

Please see this SmartThings forum thread for discussion of the bspranger collection of Xiaomi device handlers, and my announcement of the updated Aqara Button DTH is here.

Hi,

I’ve done some google searches, but found nothing definite.

Does anyone know if the xiaomi mijia (round) switches work well with any of the current DTHs?

I already have a number of the more rounded door sensors working with the a4refillpad dth, but I don’t want to go out and buy several of these to find they don’t work.

Additional question: do they also support double-click? and hold?

TIA

For almost all Xiaomi devices, the newest DTHs are available from the GitHub/bspranger repository. Here is the SmartThings Community Forum thread for the discussion about this collection of DTHs:

Original & Aqara Xiaomi Zigbee Sensors (contact, temp, motion, button, outlet, leak, etc) Community Created Device Types

Here is the official LATEST Xiaomi Zigbee Sensor Device Handlers. These are developed originally from @a4refillpad The device handlers are located in GitHub here: or can be brought in via the GitHub integration by using these settings: Owner: bspranger Name: Xiaomi Branch: master These sensors are very sensitive. Drop offs are usually a result of the Xiaomi sensor trying to repeat through a zigbee router. They do not handle it well. Therefore when pairing you need to make sure all other zigbee routing devices are off and that the device is pairing directly to the hub. Also interference on the 2.4 frequency band can be an issue. I had to move my wifi channels so they did not interfere with my zigbee. There are many devices on the 2.4 range (baby monitors, cordless phones, bluet…

I would also recommend switching to the Door/Window sensor DTH from the bspranger collection because the battery reporting does not work correctly with the a4refillpad DTH…

Unfortunately, due to the way certain Zigbee messages are parsed by SmartThings, the multi-click functionality of the round Xiaomi button is not supported. The hold function is supported, however. For detailed information about the latest version of the round Xiaomi button DTH, see my post here.

I have the square Aqara button and I’m using version 1.3 of Terk’s DH. I was using it to control my outside downlights however it appears that after one day, the button doesn’t work. I can manually press ‘Push’ on the app which seems to work however physically pressing the button doesn’t do anything at all. ‘My Devices’ shows the button as being ‘Active’.

any suggestions?

Terk · August 1, 2018, 4:10pm

Usually I have to add Xiaomi devices once leave them connected for over an hour and they stop responding like you are seeing then remove it from the system and re-add them, they usually stay connected after that.

abathingape · August 2, 2018, 11:57am

The button I have doesn’t respond to a physical button push anymore however it does respond when I ‘press’ it in the app. Does that still mean it’s dropped off as such? Or is there something else going on? That’s the second time it’s done this now. And it’s the second time my motion sensor has dropped off.

I’ve also changed my WiFi channel of the router to be as far away as possible from my Zigbee channel.

Terk · August 3, 2018, 3:23pm

It sounds like they are both disconnected from ST. Xiaomi devices don’t conform strictly to the standards so ST will likely never support them on their own and I wouldn’t expect them to be as reliable as all the other zigbee devices although maybe try replacing your battery.

I just managed to pair the WXKG11LM type button - but it only shows up as “thing” and “unknown” so it does not work. I have used this DH: https://github.com/bspranger/Xiaomi. Is there another DH to use or does anyone know what could be wrong? Thanks for any advice

Terk · November 3, 2018, 1:52pm

Try the DH at the top of this page, you’d want to unpair and repair it or just assign it via the IDE.

veeceeoh · November 3, 2018, 5:15pm

There is a new revision of the WXKG11LM Aqara Button, and I have published a new beta device handler which adds support for it. You may have one of the new WXKG11LM buttons, so you should try this beta DH.

The download link is different from the current release version. Please see my post here for more information and the beta DH download link:

[OBSOLETE] Original & Aqara Xiaomi Zigbee Sensors (contact, temp, motion, button, outlet, leak, etc) Community Created Device Types

[BETA] Xiaomi Aqara Button SmartThings DTH v1.3b I have updated the Aqara Button device handler to add support for the new revision of model WXKG11LM. While working on it, I also realized that I could add support for the hold and double-click functions of the Single-Button Aqara Wireless Smart Light Switch (model WXKG03LM). The new beta DTH code can be copied directly from here. NOTE: This DTH needs testing before it can be considered a full release. Here are some handy charts that show how different types of button actions are passed on as SmartThings events to be used by SmartApps for automations: Aqara Button - Model WXKG11LM (original revision) Action Event Button # Single-click pushed 1 Note: Although the hardware also supports double-, triple-, and quadruple- click m…

designosaur · November 4, 2018, 11:09am

Thank you. But still no luck here. Shows up as thing. But I have ordered the “12” version and hope that will work better. Also the button states it have will make it very flexible and the cost is low.

TylerDurden · November 4, 2018, 2:08pm

Did you try logging into the IDE and change the device type of the newly paired device to use the custom device handler?

designosaur · November 5, 2018, 11:36pm

Super! Working now - thanks a lot!

Maxime28 · November 15, 2018, 2:15am

Cannot get it to work then you post 4 gearbest links. Really?

Uhmm got it to add the button as a thing, battery is showing, got the automation set up with smart light, everything works from the classic app but nothing happens if i press the button no change of status in the app, nothing… am i missing something? my smartthings samsung button works like a charm

thanks

Terk · August 6, 2019, 2:59pm

Xiaomi devices are close to conforming to the zigbee standards that they connect and work after a bit of playing but aren’t strictly following the standard so there are some issues with them. I’ve always added mine then an hour later the device would drop and I would reset it and join it again and they would then stay connected. The best way to see what the issue is is to check the logs of the device when you push the button to see if the logs even reflect the push if not then reset the button and rejoin it or if it had been working for weeks or more and suddenly stopped then just try replacing the battery.

phardy · August 6, 2019, 3:15pm

Thanks, where can i see the logs of the device?

Terk · August 6, 2019, 4:49pm

On the My Home Tab choose the device then choose the Recently tab at the top of the device screen. Or go to live logging in the IDE.
