I’ve just received my first set of Xiaomi sensors and have been impressed so far. With these at around £10 each ATM I’m tempted to order a few single & dual gang switches, i don’t imagine the single is too different from the original Xiaomi push button. The existing DH will need a little reverse engineering but it should be doable.
I can get it to join but both switches report the same information so it’s useless as double switch it would take someone very clever to be able to work out what to send to the device to make to ST compatible if its even possible
How did you get it to join? I can’t figure out whatever the sequence is. I have the single-switch so hoping I don’t run into your issue and I manage to get it working…!
I’m thinking of getting a few of the Aqara switches for several rooms in my home, but would ideally have them linked to smart-possibly-RGB lights instead of dumb lights…
But! I’d like to know beforehand if the wireless switches will be compatible… and a plus for the 2 switch version…
But you must add the switch by catchall method - in the ID go to |MY HUBS|
and find List Events https://graph.api.smartthings.com/hub/15e6fd26-da21-4e34-a88a-8ea532bafb56/events?source=true
Than from the app on the phone put the hub in searching mode by + Thing,
thane press and hold the switch for 5 sec until it blincks two times, that
means it throws a catchall, in events list find the row that conains
catchall: and copy the deviece ID from it (something like this F10B). In ID
add a new device and put it for Device Network Id * ,for Type *
select Xiaomi
Aqara Light Switch ON/OFF and save the new device.
Was in doubt too…
But i have now ordered a couple of the single version switches, since it look like the double button functionality is blocked due to limitations in Smartthings…
The chance for this to get changed, before a new and even more fancy switch from Xiaomi hits the market, is relatively small…
