Aqara Hub (M1S Gen 2)

Hi today I’ve got my new Aqara Hub M1S Gen 2. It is a replacement for my old Aqara Hub 1st version.

It was pretty easy to integrate,

  1. Removed old Hub from Aqara app
  2. Plugged new hub in the socket to wait for bootup
  3. Add to Aqara app
  4. Readd all 100 things with names and rooms…
  5. Restart home Assistant - wait till done
    (So far not recognized by HA, after 45 min in the network)
  6. Unplug hub wait 10 seconds and replug to power
  7. HA shows the hub as Home kit controller
  8. Add to HA with the provided code (on hub or box)

Everything works fine…, Oh I forget to say region is for me Europe in Aqara app.

It looks like that the hub only after bootup provides the info that it is a homekit controller.

Version Details:
Home Assistant 2022.11.2
Supervisor 2022.10.2
Aqara Hub: 3.4.6_0007.0004

Would be nice if someone else could review this process to confirm it works. I only found this funny description where you have to use the Xiaomi app and the Chinese server, click a version number x times, reset the hub and whatever else is described here.

This could result in a better description for the integration and troubleshooting section.

Kind regards
