Hunting for Aqara T1M Effects in Zigbee Attributes

Configuration Zigbee

Just picked up an Aqara T1M. I’m curious if anyone is using both Zigbee in HomeAssistant and the Aqara app to see what values come from the zigbee attributes.

Mainly looking to see if there is a way to send a command for the effects. I don’t own an Aqara hub so I can’t test. Hoping someone else might?

If not, I guess I could wire up an ESP32 to the outer ring light and use WiFi to control them instead of getting the hub.

For example: in Clusters, Color (Endpoint id: 2, Id: 0x0300, Type: in), there are six “primary” attributes.
Primary[0-6]_intensity
Primary[0-6]_x
Primary[0-6]_y

I don’t know if these values can be changed or what their parameters are, but it sounds like it could be related to effects?

Fingers crossed the ring effects are available via Z2A in the future.

I’m using a pair with one of Aqara’s rotary switches. I don’t think I have implemented dimming in the best way yet.

Feel like there must be a better way to brighten and dim.

I have single press and double press configured to toggle on/off the downlight and outer ring.

For the H1 Rotary, have you looked at this blueprint @36grad created? It’s Z2M-based and might be what you’re looking for.

Thank you. I’m running Z2A but may be able to take some inspiration from it.

Anyone know if the recent announcement from Aqara about the matter update means the light effects can be synced now? I don’t have one of the hubs but would consider buying one of the cheap ones if this is the case.

Ill answer my own question so hopefully someone else finds this useful. Haha. I have indeed purchased one of the cheap Aqara E1 hubs and after a firmware update, i am able to pair the light to the aqara hub, add the aqara hub via matter to Home Assistant and then sync the scenes i created within the Aqara app. While this isnt the best way to do it, it does open up a clean way to run the light effect scenes directly from Home Assistant, as long as your happy to have the light connected to a different zigbee hub

I appreciate you chiming in! This is useful information. I personally wouldn’t want a new hub just for the one aqara device that I have. Its great it sounds like you found a solution! I may have to find a second hand hub, sync it, and then try and pair it back to my zigbee network to get the info.
