I agree with you @biau
It’s more of a novelty than anything else. What brand of cube do you have? the “mi” or “aqara”? Mine is aqara and I can’t seem to make the double tap work.
Any chance you would have some examples of a few automations to get me started?
ahh … that now make sense and it’s working for me. I though that you would just tap the top of the cube twice. Thanks guys … now any chance that anyone can point me towards automation examples? Maybe at least just to see how to configure triggers.
after a painstaking start
Update under debian does not work properly
under win10 with a complete erase, it’s ok. it’s hard to say that when you’re a Linux pro
I took the risk of testing 4 sensors
2 heiman co sensor
1 Heiman smoke detector
1 xiaomi door opening detector
not easy to wake the sensors to make a good discovery …
the result is there but why failed in the log and problems of templates.
is it discovered completely complete?
what binary sensor should he be monitoring now? how to test the sensors? I will not make a fire to test, lol
Thank you for your reply

Hi @doudz, I’m doubting to buy a ZiGate Wifi. Only question: is it compatible with Home Assistant, as I read that the wifi module is quite buggy (and the issue is still open)? Or is this solved already?
I don’t see open issue about wifi.
Well, the zigate wifi is not as stable as other zigate, but it works well most of the time.
ZiGate Wifi is not supported by zha right now
Hello @doudz do you suggest using zha library or zigate custom module?
I’m having a bit of problems with disappearing devices and I can’t manage to solve them.
good question, hard to answer
I don’t use zha myself mainly because I want some function unavailable in zha, like zigate firmware upgrade
zha is ready to use and probably more user friendly, so if you want something well integrated in HA, simple to use you should probably give a try to zha
I guess there are no other options if I don’t want to use a Rpi/nuc/… I really would like a standalone device connecting to WiFi without proprietary software…
Ok, thanks for your answer. What happens if it disconnects? Will it reconnect automatically to the WiFi and also in Home Assistant? Because I’m using an IKEA gateway right now, which stays Unavailable forever, until I reset it myself.
I tried to add an Iris Motion Sensor #0388557 and although it did pair, it seems like this motion sensor is not supported. It reports the state of the battery, but the device itself always shows “unknown”, so my question is, how to I completely clean this up? I tried zigate.remove_device and specified the device_id, but it’s not going away.
in my /config directory I have 2 zigate files, zigate.json and zigate.json.0 . (do I need both of them?) . I tried to manually delete:
in both files, but no luck, it still comes back.
I also deleted the entry in /config/.storage/core.entity_devices.
Restarted everything and it is still there. What am I missing?
