Door / Window sensor - Deconz - Pairing problem - Aqara

Configuration Zigbee
#1

Hi Everyone,

I read a lot of subjects on this forum but I have to miss something.

I have two Aqara/Mija Door sensors. The rounded one worked for a long time then it fell and became unreachable. I thought it was broken although the LED was still blinking when I pushed it. Anyway, impossible to pair it again.

I bought a new sensor and realized it didn’t pairing either.

I dug more and noticed that although the pairing via the interface was “failed” I saw that I had an item in the deconz diagram. Looks like it is not recognized correctly.

Does anyone have any idea what I can try to get these two sensors working again?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I bought a new door sensor and tried to pair it. But I was not able to do so. This is a known problem with MCCGQ14LM but there is a solution too.

But I don’t know how to update my homeassistant to make this work. Can someone help?

Hello,
I did not have the exact same issue as you do, but I know it can be tricky to pair the xiaomi/aqara sensors.

My way :
On HA, with the integration Deconz/phoscon, I enter in the integration’s panel, select Phoscon.
There, on the hamburger menu on the top left, I select “sensors”, and there : add new sensor.
in the choices, I select “Other” and the Zigbee coordinator ( conbee II for me) starts to listen.

Starting from this moment, I have 3 minutes to pair the device.
I bring it not to far from the gateway point (powered zigbee device) that is the one nearest to the area the sensor will be in.
I push on the sensor pairing button for a long time (5-10 seconds) to make sure the blue led blinks rapidly about 3-5 times… I release the button, wait 2 or 3 s, and press it again for a short time, and there it usually blinks once.
Also useful, activate/deactive the sensor by opening /closing the door, or bringing the magnet near it. It seems to make the sensor want to communicate and I notice the phoscon then paired more easily.

On the phoscon window, then it should tell a new device was paired.

If not I start again.

I have the same sensors as you do, so no reason it should not work.

The newer aqara e1 sensors are not yet supported in deconz.

Hi Vdelab,

Thx for your reply. I really try every way (including your tips) to pair it, but no luck still Now. :slight_smile:

I had already succeeded for the old model. But since it unpaired, I can’t do it anymore.

Thanks, I think it’s to hard for me, so For the new model, I will wait for an update.
