Hey everyone, I’ve been diving into the world of smart home automation and recently came across a challenge with my Xiaomi Aqara WXKG11LM switch. I thought I’d share my journey in case it helps others or sparks some discussion!
I’ve set up my system using Hass.io with the Deconz addon and a Conbee II controller. Pairing the switch was a breeze, but I noticed something odd—when I press the button, I don’t get any events showing up in the logs. It’s like the switch is there, but it’s not really doing anything useful. I checked the logs, and they show some activity, but nothing that indicates a button press. Here’s what I saw:
23:38:34:936 Device TTL 4379 s flags: 0x7
23:38:45:110 no button handler for: lumi.sensor_switch.aq2 ep: 0x01 cl: 0x0000 cmd: 0x0A pl[0]: 005
I tried digging into Node-RED to see if I could get any events there, but all I saw was some battery and temperature data. No button events at all. It’s a bit frustrating because I was really hoping to use this switch for some automation tasks around the house.
After some research, I found that others have had similar issues with Deconz and Xiaomi switches. It seems like the button events aren’t being picked up by Deconz by default. I came across a suggestion to adjust some settings in the Deconz GUI, specifically tweaking the attribute reporting intervals. I gave that a shot, but it didn’t seem to make a difference. I’m still not getting any events when I press the button.
I’m curious if anyone else has dealt with this issue or has any workarounds. Maybe there’s a different way to configure the switch or a plugin that can help bridge the gap. I’d love to hear your thoughts or any solutions you’ve found!
On a positive note, I’ve really enjoyed how smooth most of my setup has been. The integration between Hass.io and Deconz is pretty seamless, and I’ve managed to get a lot of other devices working perfectly. It’s just this little hiccup with the button events that’s been bugging me. I’m hopeful that with some tinkering and the help of the community, I can get this sorted out!
Thanks for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you all!
