I have 3 Aqara G100 cameras mounted on walls and connected to Apple HomeKit. I want to add them to the Aqara app, but can’t find the pairing codes. They are probably printed on the bottom of the wall mount. Is there a way to find the pairing codes without unmounting them from the wall?
Not unless there was an extra code in the box and you happen to still have them.
Unfortunately no boxes anymore
Hi, theoretically, to add the camera to the Aqara app, the G100 needs to be put into pairing mode (yellow indicator flashes). This can be done by pressing the reset button (10 quick presses) located on the camera. Conclusion: you need physical access to the camera.

Thanks for the replies. It sounds like I need to reconsider whether I leave the cameras just in Apple Home or that I want to climb up the ladder to unmount them and look for the codes. It’s a pity that there’s no software based way to solve this.

To avoid situations like this, I usually take a picture and store it in Google Photos with a description of what device this is about. That is low effort and makes it easy to find it later
