Xiaomi Buttons/Cube Events

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hey all! I am really hoping to get some help! Please excuse any under/over explanation! I have been going at this for days! I would be grateful to anyone who could point me in the right direction!!!

I have Hassio, Aqara Cube and Smartthings connected.
I could NOT get the Mi Home dev app running with Android/iOS apps… So instead I am using SmartThings Hub with DTH (MagicCube), and I do have the Cube connected.

Smartthings Log: Cube Outputs 7 button values, Name: “Last Action” or “Button” & Value: “Pushed”, “Slide”, “Flip 90” etc, & “Data”: “button1”, “2”, “3”, etc.

HA Event Log: Using event: smarthings.button, the output is “Pushed”, regardless of the action. I cannot see a unique identifier/data for the separate actions.

So my question is, where is the ST unique event data in HA/how do I use it?

I am really going crazy here! I own a ST Button, Sylvania Dimmer, 2 Cubes, (Zigbee Galore) etc - all which have the same issue using the ST HUB. I KNOW that I am missing something, and I have tried believe me! I really need help guys!!

THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!!!
I am always learning from you all!

I know nothing about Smartthings, except the constant complaints on this forum about how crap it is.

I can tell you that the Xiaomi Cube (and their other zigbee gear) works well with zigbee2mqtt.

I know, I cringe adding another given that I have ST, Aqara, and use MQTT broker/Node Red already… I have found some device handlers that I’m trying (not with high hopes)… Thanks for the empathy Nick : )

Hi, did you manage to integrate Aqara cube into home assistant via smartthings, I have been trying a lot but I couldn’t manage.
