Update: For no apparent reason, I just found out that the switch isn’t working… ugh… what can I try?

I am not having any luck. I get the catchall but what I presume is the network id - 2625 - is not working. Any ideas guys?

catchall: 0104 0000 01 01 0100 00 2625 00 01 115f 0a01

For some obscure reason mine decided to stop working… funny thing is if I click the virtual button in the ST app it works… ugh…

You may need to allow a minute or two for the changes to download to your hub.

My Xaoimi devices sometimes just quit or go on holiday. Sometimes, I get an hour, other times a month or two. Sometimes, a single reset button press or popping out the battery does the trick. Other times, I have to repeat the entire process. If you do need to reconnect the device, do not delete the old device. Do the whole connect process (steps 1-4 of @danielccm), then:

  1. Go to the devices area and edit the existing device… change the network address to the new 4 letters/numbers you jotted down before…

I have no clue why they do this. My personal uneducated opinion is the device somehow resets, which creates a new “network id”, which changes every time for each device. If that’s the case, I’m curious if paired to a native Xaomi hub, it would somehow catch the change and update the system… and, if that in turn is true, whether the Xoami hub could be paired with SmartThings.

(I’ve read speculation that it may not be the device itself, rather it finds another parent device to connect to, which fails to act as a repeater. I’ve tried attaching the device where it’d be used at, and on top of the hub. I’ve even tried attaching them with all powered devices turned off at the switch. It never makes a difference that I can tell.)

If Xiaomi devices would stay attached, I’d buy them all day without hesitation. My only other complaint is that I can never remember how to spell Xaiomi. But I can search for “Mi”!

Here’s the Xiaomi thread:

The only suggestion I see that’s semi-recent is to use this DH:

I’ve been using a different one for my magic cubes, and those are the ones giving me issues.

I have my Double light switch hooked up… BUT I want to use it to turn on different lights. Meaning I want to be
able to either double click to get my porch lights on and single click to get my living room lights on and triple click
to get my laundry room lights on. Is that possible or can I do a Single click to get my Living room lights on and a long press to allow me to NOT turn on my Living room lights and turn on the porch lights.

Let me know if its possible or not thanks… I tried the Smart Rules app and its not doing it It won’t let me do it
unless I hold the switch for a minute… If I could set it to .1 seconds or 2 second Smart rules wants Minutes.
and I aint waiting that long to turn on a light :slight_smile: Thanks in advance…

Hi,

Could you please share how you managed to get the double paddle switch connected to ST? I am struggling to add it, and not sure which device handler to use .

Thanks
