Aqara Cube

Thats normaly the one that should works.

I also accidentally purchased the Aqara version of the cube - don’t even see it in my list of devices. Will it be supported in the future or do I have an expensive paperweight and need to order the original cube to use?

If you install the Beta then the device is visible, but home assistant does not receive any information. Think that this will be resolved in the future but when. I have no idea

See https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/14393 for further discussion on why the new model cube (sensor_cube.aqgl01) isn’t currently working with Homeassistant (and other platforms e.g. domoticz)

@1981nick1981 So I went ahead and bought the Xiaomi cube with model number MFKZQ01LM (says it inside the cube)
It’s showing up under sensors in HA but not action is being reported to HA.
Meanwhile the door and motion sensors under the same gateway are working fine

What am I missing?

Have you got a cube with the aqara logo or with xiaomi logo? The type number on the box is the same. The cube with the aqara logo does not work.

@1981nick1981 Damn, unfortunately I have the aqara logo on it.
Is this an issue that hassio devs can fix or should I start hunting around for a MI cube (if any exist anymore)

I think the problem lies with the gateway and can only be solved by xiaomi.

Well I went ahead tracked down a MI cube for almost double the price on the aqara :frowning:
It’s like the seller knows

Some details about the new cube and the required firmware update: https://github.com/Danielhiversen/PyXiaomiGateway/issues/80

Great news all, I’ve just updated my gateway firmware to 1.4.1_157.0143 and I’m now seeing the Xiaomi Aqara Cube state changes in hassio!

Yay. Working for me Thanks

No update for my gateway yet. :pensive:

I don’t have it either.

What region are you using?

I’m using the mainland China server in Australia.
Someone else on the Facebook page is using the same server and has the update.

Strange. :thinking:

Yep, that’s me! What gateway are you guys using? Mine is the DGNWG02LM “upgrade version” (https://www.banggood.com/Original-Xiaomi-Upgrade-Smart-Home-WiFi-Remote-Control-Multi-functional-Gateway-p-1047282.html?rmmds=search)

I’m definitely using Gateway 2. (Gateway 3 has the IR blaster).

Idem. Gateway 2.

Mainland China server from Spain.

No update yet.

Still nothing. Do I have to be on the local wifi or can I do it remotely? Because I haven’t been home since the update was released.

Edit:

Finally!
