Add Aqara FP2 to HA (scenario with no Apple hardware)

Configuration
1

How do I add my Aqara FP2 to HA please? Here are the relevant facts:

  1. no Aqara hub
  2. FP2 connects to router via WiFi
  3. FP2 works fine with Aqara Android app
  4. no Apple HomeKit hub, no Apple devices whatsoever (Apple-free environment)
  5. got a Sonoff Zigbee dongle connected to HA device
  6. got Zigbee2MQTT integration installed, in case it’s relevant

I have been looking around for instructions, and the closest I got was some mention about a HomeKit Controller integration that I need to add to HA, but I couldn’t find any such integration in HA. What I found was HomeKit Device and HomeKit Bridge (see screenshot below). No HomeKit Controller though.

What to do?

I think you need the HomeKit Device integration.

Thanks. When I attempt to add the HomeKit Device integration, I am given a choice of devices, none of which is my Aqara FP2 though (see screenshot below)! What am I doing wrong?

You have to get the FP2 into pairing mode. If I remember correctly, you have to hold down the button for like 10 seconds, at which point the FP2 LED will start blinking. Then start the HomeKit integration on Home Assistant.

I did put the FP2 into pairing mode, but I still can’t see it in the “Device selection” box.

Any other opinions?
