Not sure if I’m missing something or not. I purchased 4 Aqara wireless mini switches (WXKG11LM) and cannot get them paired to my ConBee II. I’ve tried pairing through Phoscon and they fail every time. I have other Aqara devices and never had a problem. I also just tried pairing an Aqara door sensor that I hadn’t gotten around to and it paired within 30 seconds. I do have a 3’ extension on the ConBee device. I’ve tried sensor, switch and even light with no luck. I’m sure I’m missing something stupid!
Aqara/Xiaomi and Tuya devices are known to have issues pairing due to not following standards. See:
Pairing some Xiaomi/Aqara is a lottery and it is not uncommon to have to try 30 times over 30 minutes.
Regardless of Zigbee Coordinator adapter type or Zigbee implementation recommend follow these tips:
In short; update Zigbee Coordinator firmware + connect it via a USB extension cable to a USB 2.0 port to get away from interference sources, add more Zigbee Router devices, then try pair again and again.
