Zigbee Wall Switch E1 (QBKG40LM / QBKG41LM) / Zigbee2Mqtt

Hi there,

I use the Aqara wall switch E1, single and double type (QBKG40LM / QBKG41LM) with zigbee2mqtt. Controling the switch from Z2M works, but a physical button press is not seen in zigbee2mqtt. E.g., Z2M still shows “off” when the light is switched on manually.

Anything I could do about that? Other products (Wall switch from MOES, smart plugs, etc…) do work fine with physical actions being reflected in the Z2M dashboard.

I updated to firmware version 29.

Kind regards

@dsaq1 Hi there! Thanks for sharing your experience with the Aqara Zigbee Wall Switch E1 and Zigbee2Mqtt. It can definitely be frustrating when the physical button state doesn’t sync up with your dashboard, especially when other devices are working perfectly.

Unfortunately, the reference information provided focuses on troubleshooting connectivity and firmware issues within the Aqara Home App ecosystem, rather than specific Zigbee2Mqtt integration quirks for the E1 series. Since this involves a third-party integration (Z2M) and specific device behavior that isn’t covered in our standard app troubleshooting guides, I recommend reaching out to customer support for more specialized assistance.
