Aqara Cube T1 Pro - Anyone got any advice for getting it working?

Configuration Blueprints
17

I managed to get mine paired, but the only event I can get to fire is the “Device Shaken - Turn On” event, regardless of if I use the 5-clicks to switch modes or not. Anybody else run into this and manage to resolve it?

18

I have similar issues. Have you found a solution? The shake command always works, but the rotate command rarely does.

19

Make sure you are in action mode not scene mode.

20

I have a couple of the old versions, and have automations that trigger when the device “flips”. I now got the new version, but can never trigger anything except rotation. Do you have to do anything special to make HA recognize other movements?

Hi Znerox,

Read the prior message

22

Thanks! Solution was to press link button five times, as described here Change mode of Aqara Cube T1 Pro

23

Hello. Is there similar blueprint for Cube T1 Pro on zigbee2mqqt?

24

The one I made for Z2M actually works, as the pro version is not completely supported in ZHA, only Z2M.

Did you find a solution for your issue?

I just got my T1 Pro and connected it through ZHA using a Sonoff Zigbee Dongle Plus. It’s recognized as lumi.remote.cagl02 by LUMI, but the only control I see is an on/off switch that gets triggered when I shake or rotate the cube—that’s about it.

I’ve tried listening to zha_events in the event listener, but nothing appears regardless of any actions I perform with the cube (shake, rotate, flip, drop, toss, etc.).

I’ve heard that some people fixed this issue by updating the coordinator firmware. Others mentioned resetting the device by removing the battery and switching the mode to ACTION by pressing the link button five times. My dongle is fairly new so I am reluctant on touching the firmware for now.

I’m a bit stuck at this point. I’m planning to tinker with the device more, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll consider updating the firmware on the dongle.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You are in scene mode. Change it to action mode.
(Or put some pressure on to get this fixed…

Thank you, I will try that again. I pressed the button 5 times and no luck, maybe it didnt register. I will try again and see if I can properly get it into action mode & I’ll also put some pressure on the issue.

28

No matter what I did I could not put the cube into action mode. It might have been a faulty cube so I will return it and maybe get a different type of controller until there is better ZHA compatibility.

Hi,

I also got a T1Pro and cannot set it to Action Mode. Pressing the button 5 times doesn´t change a thing.

Could it be they removed this functionality in recent FW versions?

I got mine cube for christmas and I can confirm, that pressing button does change the mode :wink:

31

How did you test that you see it changed the mode? How could you tell that it changed the mode?

I have problem changing the mode apparently.

32

Hello Bruce B,

In the device screen it will tell you if it changes modes.
Go and find the device, and watch the scrolling log.

Thanks for the response @Sir_Goodenough

Can you please point where the “scrolling log” is and what it should tell? In your picture I see your logbook is empty and so is mine which does not give me any information.

Below is snap shot of my device. How to know from my picture if it is in scene mode or action mode?

Activate the cube. Try to set action, shake it, these should all show something in the log.
Are you afraid of the thing? It’s not going to break. if you are tapping it or flipping it needs to be on a hard surface and you need to make it click audibly on the hard surface.

My log was empty because my ZHA cube is upstairs on my desk.

35

@Sir_Goodenough I see some event flying in logs so thank you for the guidence.

Two quick questions:
1- Does you template work better with ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT?
2- What is a simple quick action setup step by step guide for the first action to program? Please show in pictures if possible.

Thanks.

I have a lot of documentation in my Blueprints. Look for the cube ones and the script blueprints for these sub tasks there.
