Aqara motion sensor doesn't show in Homekit #201

Open Chil81 opened 2 years ago

Chil81 commented 2 years ago

Hi, I have added a few motion sensors in Homey and this works well. But unfortunately they don't appear in Apple Homekit.

I also don't see them in the config of HomeyKit (v3.0.16). Someone have an idea? Am I doing something wrong? Or is it not (yet) supported in HomeyKit??

It depends on which capabilities your motion sensors are using. You can find that out here: https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices

Find your device(s) and see which capabilities are listed for it.

Hmmm.....? I think I don't know what you mean specifically.

Below are the capabillities of the vibration sensor: (more than e.g. a water sensor)

Capabilities
Capability | Type | Value | Edit value | Last Updated -- | -- | -- | -- | -- measure_tilt | number | null |   |   measure_tilt.relative | number | null |   |   measure_vibration | number | 2 |   | 8 minutes ago alarm_vibration | boolean | false |   | 2 days ago alarm_tilt | boolean | null |   |   alarm_drop | boolean | null |   |   alarm_battery | boolean | false |   | 6 days ago measure_battery | number | 100 |   | 6 days ago

All of those capabilities are custom; in other words, the developer of the Homey app created them specifically for their app. HomeyKit has no idea how to handle such capabilities, so it doesn't know how to expose such a device to HomeKit.

That's a pitty. But on the other hand: the developer did get other Aqara sensors working. Maybe he can let this one also work in HomeyKit. :)

Other Aqara sensors use regular capabilities, not custom ones that only exist in one app and for which no documentation exists.

You can convert your vibration sensor to motion sensor by creating virtual device and make flow.

Interesting.... But how? I'm not yet an advanced Homey-user :)
