New development, i have connected all my xiaomi devices i couldn't pair/bind before. Before i updated to v1.5.6-rc.6 i reset the zigbee network and installed your 0.1.4 xiaomi app from github.
I have added the devices again and managed to connect 20 devices, which are all the sensors i couldn't connect in v1.5.5
but after i tried to connect an temp sensor it got a message that something went wrong ... i tried to pair again and it worked. after that i tried to pair all my xiaomi door/windows sensor and they will not pair with the homey what ever i tried to
I have installed v1.5.6-rc8 but still the same, it will not pair the door/windows sensors these sensors i have paired them in v1.5.5 but i cannot connect them anymore too homey.
I'm on firmware 1.5.3.
Thankful for any pointers that will help me solve this.
did you see the topic's title? app works from 1.5.4 and higher, not below.
so not an app store bug (your other post) but really not meant for homey's pre 1.5.4
After my last post, I again started to experience a complete stop to add new devices. No matter the tweaking I tried to come up with.
Finally I gave up and reset my homey to factory settings. I started from clean sheet. What is amazing is this: I have NO PROBLEMS whatsoever to add the xiaomi devices that were previously connected to homey. Every single device which were previously connected are easily added again. However, all the "new" devices which before the reset were not possible to add are now not possible to add either. Isn't this a very particular failure? I mean how is it possible to add the 20 or so devices that were also previously added but none of the ones that couldn't be added before, cannot be added now either. And I have tested on at least 15 devices that have never been able to add. It is almost like there is a log saved in the homey...
Thats exactly the situation i experienced aswell.
I remembered when installing the firmware v1.5.6 rc.5 i and a full factory reset, i was able to add all the components i never could pair but all the sensors which where prevouisly added but lost after factory reset i could not pair anymore.
Also 20 paired sensors is somehow the limit where things do not get paired or added.
This is more and more pointing towards an issue within Homey.. Inclusion of the devices is handled by Homey's Core; an app is only contributing to it by adding the inclusion information (product identification, hint and image).
If it would be app or driver specific, all devices of a certain type would not work.
If it would be an product ID issue, the device would still be added, but as a standard ZigBee device.
Can either one of you create an GitHub issue at https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues and add both of you add a log-code after trying to include some devices (which fail)?
I will link a similar issue posted on my GitHub repository to it:

The Cube is being worked on.
To be able to complete the driver (rotation angle), I am waiting for an fix within the ZigBee Shepherd (Homey's core).

Well, next to sufficient time....
Athom to implement the Intruder Alarm System Zone ZigBee Cluster within the ZigBee Shepherd (Homey's core).
see also: https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues/2005
Without this cluster, the water leak-, smoke- and natural gas-sensor will not work.
The new supported device line-up will be:

Single press werkt goed, maar 2x, 3x en 4x drukken geeft geen reactie.
Zou de onderstaande flow gewoon moeten werken, of doe ik iets verkeerd?
So the flowcard provides the incorrect options; I will correct it in the next (after 0.2.0) update... Thanks for reporting!

When i install the double switch and then use it in a flow i get the option to turn on or turn off (assume this is both switches) or turn ona nd turn off the right switch. Can't seem to see a card for the left switch control only.
Andrew
For the door sensors, I’m using the default alarm_contact capability including the default trigger cards. So this is a generic issue, applicable to all devices using the alarm_contact...
So I would request you to create an issue at Athom to add this ‘alarm state changed’ trigger card to the alarm_contact capability...
I’m still having to work around quite some Homey ZigBee implementation issues (see the Xiaomi ZigBee app GitHub issues section, link few comments above).
One of them is that Homey’s ZigBee does not support multiChannelNodes (devising 1 unit into multiple virtual units; ie. Left and Right switch) as Z-wave does...
in order to make the double switch work, both switches were added into 1 device as visible on the mobile card... the left switch utilizing the default onoff capabilities (and trigger cards; so no these are only for the left switch) and the right switch using custom capabilities (and trigger cards).
From the app, I can’t overwrite the title of the default trigger card, otherwise I would have marked it as left switch...
Bit longer response to both questions; also to indicate the limitations of the current ZigBee implementation we have to work around with creative solutions...
good work
Andrew
can someone help how to install to be able to connect to my xiaomi gateway! I downloaded the files but dont know how to install them. thanks
update:
tried homey app store, and gets , this app is incompatable with my device. cant install it

Small weekend present: I just released the update with support for the Xiaomi Cube to the app store...
Please read the device readme for details!

Does anybody know wether the powered Aqara (like powerplugs) devices create a Mesh, making the range better?
So far I see all devices connect direct to Homey.
nb. Thanks for the Cube implemantation! Waited for this before buying one.
As soon as I am able to add more than xiaomi 20 devices, alot cool sh!t will be tested
Looking forward to you experience with the Cube....
@mehta did you file a GitHub issue at Athom, as suggested above, so I can follow-up with the Athom team to investigated the cause of this issue?
Thanks for offering. I currently have a Curtain controller as borrowed from @RuudvB.
Some first steps have been made...
but the specific curtain control class requires some additional work; for which I will only have time in 3 weeks from now.
I indeed did forget to update it in the app, while working to get the Cube supported in the Xiaomi app, just before leaving on a business trip for 3 weeks. Do you mind to set a reminder on GitHub so I'll correct it once I'm back?
can anyone share some flows on how this works? I've tried setting a 30/60 timeout on the motion detection, but it acts weird:
when motion is detected, light goes on
when no motion is detected, light off
What i've seen so far is that every 30 seconds/60 seconds, while there is actual motion in the room, the light flashes off and back on. (Suggesting that the sensor didn't see motion after the 30 seconds). Can you confirm that the timer actually resets while motion is ongoing?
