Hub S1 Plus - Adding Matter Thermostat

Evening all…

I’m trying to get my Matter Thermostat to show up on my S1 Plus screen.
It’s a Tado X wireless thermostat. I’ve manage to add it to Apple HomeKit and the Aqara app using Matter. But it’s not showing up on my S1 Plus. All my other devices, non Aqara lights and switches are showing up.

I just want to check if I’m doing something wrong or if Thermostats are not supported.
On a side note, I would love the S1 Plus to show a camera feed 24/7 and not time out.

Thanks

@hullwax Good evening!

It sounds like you’re doing a great job integrating your devices. Based on the reference information, the Aqara Home app supports adding thermostats among other Matter devices. So, your Tado X wireless thermostat should technically be compatible. However, if it’s not appearing on your S1 Plus screen, it might be an issue with the specific integration of that thermostat with the screen display functionality.

Here are a few things you might want to check or try:

  1. Ensure your S1 Plus firmware is up-to-date, as updates can sometimes resolve such issues.
  2. Verify that the thermostat is correctly recognized in the Aqara app and check any settings related to device visibility on the S1 Plus.
  3. Since other non-Aqara devices are showing up, it might be worth re-adding the thermostat to see if that helps.

As for your side note about the camera feed, maintaining a continuous display could be affected by the device’s power-saving settings or screen timeout features. You might want to explore the settings for display and standby options in your Aqara device configuration.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it might be beneficial to reach out to the Aqara support team for further assistance. They could provide more detailed insights specific to your setup.

Feel free to share any updates or further questions—your experiences help others in the community too!

Good evening @hullwax , unfortunately third-party thermostats cannot be added to the S1 plus panel screen. They promised support for Aqara w500 soon, and perhaps they will also add support for matter thermostats to add to the S1 plus panel screen.

Thank you - I thought this might have been the case. Thanks for confirming - S1 has so much potential… if they work at it.

This is why the AI bot is useless. Is there any way the mods can remove it or I can block it?

@Aqarabot is good, why ban or delete him, he can be useful and help users with his answers.
