Hi all, I’m running Home Assistant Supervised (latest).
I have been going in circles with the Aqara Vibration Sensors and Cube. When I configure the Aqara Vibration Sensor, I am unable to extract useful absolute angle data. I have tried two methods
-
If I use the HomeKit integration and the Aqara Hub, both the Aqara app and Home Assistant simply present a vibration binary sensor (detected / not detected) with no additional information.
-
If I use ZHA and an XBee S2C Pro as coordinator over USB with an XBee Explorer FTDI, then I am able to trap events for “vibration” and “tilt”, but the tilt event seems like it is unable to provide angle information (as in the number of degrees moved on the X,Y, and Z axes or the absolute angle), merely the total degrees in “args”. I was unable to find and decode the raw detailed payload in the logs at debug level to ascertain if the angle data was actually in the frame but not parsed. Sample of the parsed event below
{
"event_type": "zha_event",
"data": {
"device_ieee": "xxx",
"unique_id": "xxx",
"device_id": "xxx",
"endpoint_id": 1,
"cluster_id": 1280,
"command": "Tilt",
"args": [
{
"degrees": 6
}
]
},
"origin": "LOCAL",
"time_fired": "2021-08-28T22:43:49.661151+00:00",
"context": {
"id": "e6590ffa61a68d6d8a4033feb4ebc227",
"parent_id": null,
"user_id": null
}
}
- If I try to solve the same issue with the Aqara Cube, the adding of the cube to ZHA stalls on “Starting Interview”. I’ve tried the button press every couple of seconds to keep the device awake, but to no avail. The logs reveal “Device failed to initialize due to unexpected error. Received frame on uninitialized device”

So does anyone have any idea what the cause might be or what I should do about it? Unfortunately the XBee S2C won’t run Xbee2MQTT from my own experiments and what I can see in the forums. The firmware on the sensors appears to be latest according to the Aqara app.
Before I run off trying to get Conbees and other devices shipped internationally, I was wondering if anyone had seen this before - in my mind it is fully possible that the sensors themselves are as different version than others have used and no new controller will extract more data from them, I just lack a way to validate that.
