I just bought three new Aqara Smart Plugs (to join the 2 I’ve been using for months now). The new ones do not report any measurements, neither power nor energy.
The model numbers are identical between the new and old (SP-EUC01) and Home Assistant reports the same firmware for both units. However, it’s exposing different sensors for the newly paired units.
How do I troubleshoot this?
I have:
TLDR: I had to update the firmware of my Zigbee Coordinator (Conbee2) and then re-pair all the plugs to get them working.
Firmwares for the Conbee are available here: Index of /win/
Instructions for flashing here: Update deCONZ manually · dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin Wiki · GitHub
I opted to shut down HA and move the Conbee to my windows machine so I could flash it from a local terminal. It worked fine and my zigbee mesh came back online with no issues when I booted HA up again.
The plugs had to be removed and re-paired for the power sensors to start providing measurements though.
This was the solution for me too. Steps in this order! ))
