Heya everyone! I hope your weekend is off to a better start than mine! Not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but I hope it’s ok…
I had a decent setup with Apple Home Kit, but I wanted to dive in to Home Assistant… I am feeling like that was a terrible idea - but I don’t wanna give up just yet!
I read a lot, watched countless tutorials, and tried my best - but nothing seems to be working correctly.
A quick summary: I bought Home Assistant Green (plus their Zigby dongle). I was able to get my Third Reality Hub and the three attached switches into Home Assistant, and then back into HomeKit - that went fine. But when I started trying to get my Aqara stuff over, it just went from bad to worse. I have the little Aqara E1 hub, three window sensors, a video doorbell, and two E1 cameras. I got the camera feeds to show up in HA for a few seconds, but then they stopped. The feeds won’t show in HomeKit either - except the doorbell. That will show in HomeKit, but NOT in HA. I kept clicking things and trying things - but I think I just screwed things up worse. I feel like I want to just start over, but I don’t really know how.
So, I did delete my cameras so I could try and start that part over, but now when I try and add a camera, I get a screen saying it’s starting a configuration wizard or something, but the wheel just spins and spins…
Any ideas? Should I just give up? I would appreciate any advice 
Thanks
