Hey folks, sharing a quick fix that saved me a headache after my Aqara motion sensor just decided to stop showing up in HomeKit.
So here’s what happened: everything was working fine for weeks, and one day the automation stopped triggering and the sensor showed “No Response” in the Home app. Super frustrating. Resetting the sensor didn’t work and I really didn’t feel like re-adding it from scratch.
Here’s what finally worked for me:
I rebooted the Aqara Hub and power-cycled my HomeKit hub (Apple TV in my case). After about 2 minutes, the motion sensor magically came back and started reporting again. No need to re-pair or delete anything. Seems like the communication just got stuck somewhere.
If you’re running into the same issue, try restarting both hubs first before messing with your automations or resetting devices. Saved me big time.
Anyone else seen this odd behavior lately? Curious if it’s a firmware thing or just HomeKit doing its thing again.
