If I try to copy and paste that link into HA blueprints I get an error:
while scanning an alias in "<unicode string>", line 5, column 1: * **2023-10-20**: Enhancement [A ... ^ expected alphabetic or numeric character, but found ' ' in "<unicode string>", line 5, column 2: * **2023-10-20**: Enhancement [Ad ... ^
Wait I think I figured it out – if I got that link, there is both a .MD and a .yaml listed on the left-hand side. Used the yaml and it worked.
In the helper file (the .md) there are instructions for installation and a quick MY-jump link to install as well.
I don’t put the installation section first because I want you to look at the instructions first, so the install links are lower down in the .md file.
If you don’t look at the instructions, I usually get a message later about why is this thing not working…
Thanks everybody for all the time you spent replying. I really apreciate it. Going to be a few week before I get time to have another go.
I think these cubes are just garbage. No matter what software or bluprint you use, the cube only sends about one in twenty of the actions to Home Assitant. (using z2m)
It is a good concept but very poorly executed.
Maybe I should make one myself. I’d need an ESP32, an accelerometer, and some kind of wireless charger/holder.
What’s really odd is that soemetimes it logs a 90 degree rotation but not which side is up. I flip it 90 degrees three times and it is still on side-6.
I have battery at 100% and the cube is 4 feet from the Zigbee dongle, but still 80% of the data is dropped.
I’ll give it another couple days before it gets returned.
I use mine every day, they work fine.
use a hard surface, and when you flip it flop it down hard enough to hear it click on the surface then let go so it can settle. If you keep wiggling it it might not dense the stop. Same with the tap function. snap it 2X kn a hard surface so you hear it snap and let go.
I was able to make this work at first but after a few hours it got harder. Not it appears dead. I removed it and reset and re-paired and it is still non responcive. Possible I have a defective cube.
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?
I have similar issues. Have you found a solution? The shake command always works, but the rotate command rarely does.
Make sure you are in action mode not scene mode.
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?
Thanks! Solution was to press link button five times, as described here Change mode of Aqara Cube T1 Pro
Hello. Is there similar blueprint for Cube T1 Pro on zigbee2mqqt?
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…
Aqara Cube T1 Pro - Anyone got any advice for getting it working? - #4 by Sir_Goodenough)
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.
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?
