Alright, I’m stumped and hoping someone here’s seen this weird glitch before.
I’ve got a pretty simple scene: when my front door opens (Aqara door sensor), it should turn on the hallway light (Aqara switch), but lately… nothing happens. Checked the sensor — it detects open/close no problem. The switch also works fine manually. But the automation just won’t trigger.
Tried deleting and re-adding the scene, rebooted the hub, even double-checked my time settings. Still nada.
This setup has been rock solid for months. Anyone else hit this kind of issue lately? Any tricks or resets you’ve used that worked?
Appreciate any tips — this one’s messing with my smart home flow big time.
@MikeAtHome It sounds like a frustrating situation! From the information provided, it seems like your Aqara Door and Window Sensor is functioning well by detecting open/close actions, and the switch works manually. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you might consider:
-
Hub Proximity: Ensure that both the sensor and switch are within a reasonable range of the Aqara Hub. If they are too far away, the signal might not be strong enough to trigger the automation.
-
Signal Interference: Check if the devices are installed on metal surfaces, as this can interfere with the signal. If possible, relocate them to see if this resolves the issue.
-
Battery Check: Although your sensor is detecting open/close actions, it’s worth checking the battery level to ensure it’s not running low, which could affect signal strength intermittently.
-
Firmware and App Updates: Ensure that your Aqara Hub, sensor, and switch are all running the latest firmware. Similarly, check if there are any updates available for the Aqara Home App.
-
Automation Logic: Double-check the automation logic in the Aqara Home App. Make sure the conditions set in the “IF” and “THEN” sections are correct and that there are no conflicts with other automations.
-
Reset and Reconfigure: Since you’ve already tried deleting and re-adding the scene, consider resetting both the sensor and switch to factory settings and then reconfiguring them. Sometimes, a fresh start can resolve persistent issues.
If none of these steps work, it might be beneficial to reach out to the community for further insights or contact Aqara support for more personalized assistance. Keep the community posted on your progress—your experience could be invaluable to someone else facing a similar issue!
