Pairing Aqara to Smartthings Edge (TIPS AND TRICKS)

Wiki How-To
26

Beginner question here. With the switch towards Edge drivers I’m trying to re-setup all my Aqara contact sensors. The steps I’ve taken so far were not enough to successfully connect any Aqara contact sensor yet:

  1. deleted all old Aqara sensors from my Smartthings hub (in the app and in the online IDE)
  2. deleted all Device Handlers and Smartapps from IDE
  3. deleted all Ikea tradfri zigbee extenders (and physically turned them off)
  4. Enroll to the channels where the Edge drivers are (Yakov and Veon)
  5. Actually install drivers from those channels (this step I missed - while I was already trying to connect all the sensors many times)
  6. Changed zigbee channel to 20
  7. Tried pairing the contact sensors as per opening post description.

Note all my contact sensors look like this type: MCCGQ11LM (but not sure how I can see if they are maybe the unsupported version: MCCGQ14LM as per this page: [ST Edge/Beta] Xiaomi/Aqara/Tuya zigbee sensors driver )

Any mistakes I am making? Your help would be very much appreciated!
