Xiaomi Aqara Switch Great Deal no DH?

Sergio_Ferreira · July 7, 2017, 8:27am

There is a great deal for the Xiaomi wall switch:

But it looks no one has yet a working DH

I have ordered a single and double should be here 7-20 days.

Some discussion here

Xiaomi Aqara light switches - no neutral required? General Discussion

Came across these in another thread (off-topic from the main thread), thought I’d post here as may be of interest and I’m selfishly interested if one of you guys wanted to have a look and feedback Xiaomi appear to have added some Zigbee switches to their product line recently. The community have had some good success getting Xiaomi: temp/humditysensor contact sensor cube (7 button remote) motion sensor appliance plugs working, often by trial and error. The kit is well made, cheap and it generally looks very good (the motion sensor is tiny). If you’re interested in that have a look here: Anyway back to the the switches. @KellyDarren pointed me at these: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/In-Stock-2016-Xiaomi-Aqara-Smart-Light-Control-ZiGBee-Wireless-Key-and-Wall…

and about a DH

Xiaomi Aqara Zigbee Switch DTH--help needed Writing Device Types

I just purchase a few units of Xiaomi Aqara Zigbee Switch for development. Plan to replace all my Broadlink TC2 switch with it. I am in the process of writing a device handler for it and having trouble getting the cluster information during join process for this device. I can only see the bunch of raw message in the hub log after the add device process completed. [image] Most of them does not look valid except for the first raw message. raw:F4690000158D00013E6CC2, dni:F469, errorCode:00, ieee:00158D00013E6CC2 Which appear to be Device Network ID and Zigbee ID I keep reseting the switch and somehow the following message appear in the hub log, ep_cnt:2, ep:01 02 desc: 01 0104 019A 00 01 0000 00 desc: 02 FC01 019A 00 00 00 It appear to have two endpoint with a generic cluster 0x000…

Does anyone ordered, receive and make this babies work?

Tiago_Goncalves · September 4, 2017, 1:43pm

I received one last week. But when I tried to adapt a DH to this version. When you press one of the two button you receive always: “on/off: 1” from both, so you cannot differentiate left or right button from the info received. Other issue you don’t receive info when button is released, So you cannot have a button held position.

SuperMouseDV · November 16, 2017, 4:26am

I just got one of these. Wanting to use to control the Ceiling fan once I get the right control to it.
If this works (hoping the firmware update helps make these show up better) Ill do this for 4 fans in my
home in total…
Any Progress on this Switch. I love its size and feel (got the 2 button version)

lincolnw · December 12, 2017, 5:34am

Just checking in on this thread.
I have the wireless two button (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Xiaomi-Smart-home-Aqara-Smart-Light-Control-ZiGBee-Wireless-Key-switch-and-Wall-Switch-Via-Smarphone/32761798246.html).
It’s a really nice looking switch.
Hoping to get it up and running.

Cheers, L

Zipppy83 · January 17, 2018, 8:26am

Any news? i have 2 botton version, and doesn’ t run. can you link the DHT or some istructions?

adam_walker · January 17, 2018, 9:05am

I don’t think it will be possible for smartthings to know which button is pressed. The back end system is doing something to prevent recognition of which button is pressed.

adam_walker · January 17, 2018, 9:06am

My understanding is this is a fundamental issue, that can’t be fixed at this point.
Hope to be proved wrong…

Zipppy83 · January 18, 2018, 8:37am

Please can you link me your DHT device code.
Thanks

mckenph · January 22, 2018, 8:11pm

Try this DTH to see if it works. I had Brian add something in this DTH that will help.

bump ? any news here ?

nychan · March 16, 2018, 3:41pm

Bought the one button version working perfect with the aqara button DTH above

veeceeoh · March 17, 2018, 7:18pm

Currently, it is impossible to make a DH that allows the ST hub to recognize both buttons of the two-button WXKG02LM model.

The technical reason for this is that the SmartThings ZigBee attribute report message parser strips out what is known as the endpoint number value. The two-button WXKG02LM model uses a different endpoint number for the left button press, right button press, and both-button press. The DH only receives all of those messages as coming from one button.

Until SmartThings changes the way it handles ZigBee attribute reports with different endpoint numbers, the two button functionality of the WXKG02LM model will never work.

maxtay · May 24, 2018, 10:37am

What about a child device handler like the DH developed for multiple relays Sonoff control?

jhamstead · May 24, 2018, 10:57am

You can talk to different endpoints if you send the raw ZigBee messages instead of using the built in functions. It’s a pain but it is possible.

veeceeoh · May 24, 2018, 4:14pm

Not such a pain, but it doesn’t work with Xiaomi’s battery powered buttons / devices because in mine and others’ testing they ignore Zigbee.readAttribute commands.

So all the device handler has to work with are the attribute report messages sent by the device, which are stripped of endpoint data by ST’s main Zigbee parser.

The child device scheme only works if the device will work with Zigbee.readAttribute commands, and the only Xiaomi devices that will recognize those are the mains powered Aqara light switches (models QBKG11LM & QBKG12LM) and the Aqara Curtain Motor.

jhamstead · May 24, 2018, 4:22pm

Take a look at the NYCE DTH below. You can do everything manually, such as read attributes and bind to them with raw commands. With the raw commands you can specify different endpoints.

You’d send raw:

st rattr
st wattr
zdo bind

Yes, but that’s an NYCE device. The Xiaomi battery-powered device ignore read attribute commands, whether sent using ST’s zigbee.readAttribute call or the raw commands. @a4refillpad’s older DTH’s attempted to use raw commands to no avail.

The other issue is even if you could poll the devices, it’s just adding further latency on cloud-executed code, which is not so good for button devices.

EDIT: I’m not trying to be argumentative - all of your suggestions are well-appreciated, but I and other people have spent loads of time trying to get read / write attribute commands to work, both on the ST platform and other HA platforms. Xiaomi just made the devices somewhat limited in their Zigbee functionality.

jhamstead · May 24, 2018, 4:36pm

I see. I misunderstood thinking that you could use readattribute on the first button but not others because of endpoint issues.

I’m guessing even the lower level parse return method strips endpoint data?
