Hello all,
Any chance to get this to work with HA ? How to know what is exposed or not from the device to a potential third party system ?
I think it would be the ultimate discreet switch and/or thermostat controller if it could be made to work with HA.
Typically all Aqara products do work with ha following their matter/zigbee protocol youll just need their hub is all. Didnt know this exist tbh may have to wait till some reviews are posted to see or just buy and return if not satisfied.
No, you don’t need any Aqara hub for Matter or Zigbee devices. ZHA/Z2M supports a lot of different Aqara devices.
This is a wifi device it looks like, looks nice!
I do have one (oops trigger-happy on that one) but it’s basically useless at the moment with HA. And I don’t have anything in the aqara ecosystem except the H2 switches which I bought specifically because I could integreate them straight into HA.
It’s a wifi device but I have no clue how (or even if it’s possible) to integrate it into HA.
The Aqara integration to HA relies on Matter or Zigbee but no luck for this device…
Can you do it through Homekit perhaps?
The only smarthome ecosystem I have is home assistant - trying to reduce the headaches to a minimum so I’m not going to build something else 
I meant this HomeKit Device - Home Assistant
ah interesting - I have not deactivated zeroconf and it never prompted me to add the dial even though it’s been on the network for a few days now so not sure how I should go about it tbh.
Don’t think it would solve my issue anyway since, if I understand correctly, it would let me control the 8 switches on the device from HA but without a way to program them from HA ?
I don’t use Homekit so I really have no idea, but since this device has the Homekit stamp on it and you already bought it, it might be worth looking into.
fair enough - I might look into it later.
Was hoping for a clean solution or a way to engineer a clean solution myself - happy to be the guinea pig if someone has an idea on how to reverse-engineer something from the aqara app or something else…
