Hey everyone! I’ve been diving into the world of Aqara/Xiaomi devices with my Homey setup, and I’ve got some questions and experiences to share. I know that Homey doesn’t handle firmware updates for these devices, so I’ve been connecting some of them to an Aqara Hub (specifically the G2 Cam) to keep things updated. It’s been a bit of a learning curve, but I’ve figured out which devices can and can’t be updated, which I’ll share below.
Which Devices Can Be Updated?
- Motion Sensors: These seem to update without any issues.
- Vibration Sensors: Works like a charm!
- Water Sensors: Great for detecting leaks.
- Wireless Switches (Double): Perfect for controlling lights or appliances.
- Cube: A versatile device that’s always fun to play with.
Which Devices Can’t Be Updated?
- Occupancy Sensors: No firmware updates here.
- Door and Window Sensors: Reliable but no updates.
- Temperature/Humidity/Pressure Sensors: Solid performers without the need for updates.
- Wireless Switches: Simple and effective, no updates needed.
If anyone has more insights or additions to this list, I’d love to hear them! It would also be amazing if there was a changelog for firmware updates to keep track of what’s been improved. Let me know your thoughts!
Cheers,
[Your Name]
