Hi Znerox,
Read the prior message
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. Itās 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 cubeāthatās about it.
Iāve 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.).
Iāve 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.
Iām a bit stuck at this point. Iām planning to tinker with the device more, and if that doesnāt work, Iāll 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 fixedā¦

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 & Iāll 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 doesnĀ“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 
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.
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 āscrolling logā 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?
And I have the following in the signature of the device:

Thanks.
Activate the cube. Try to set action, shake it, these should all show something in the log.
Are you afraid of the thing? Itās 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.
@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.
This question remains.
If anyone knows for sure how to turn ON action mode please post. All other posts are random and most people say they did not get it working. Is this a bad piece of hardware or issue with blueprints?
How it is that there is no indication in logs if the cube is in Action or Scene mode or any other mode? Which computer programmer flies so blindly? This does not make sense.
Well the Z2M interface has a button in the device panel that is activated by the throw action with the cube.but the ZHA software this was never implemented.
The push the button 5 times works on the cube level for ZHA and Z2m. All of these show in the logs like I already explained above.
Even if Cube is in Scene mode, the Z2M interface shows the throw action?
Also, is your blueprint for ZHA as well or just Z2M?
And, can one run both ZHA and Z2M simultaneously or must chose one?
Thanks
I did some testing and did a primer on getting the pro cube interviewed and switching modes on ZHA.
