I have found a way to turn on the dev mode but I can’t read the code, there is a way to read this code after I have enabled dev mode?

Should be able to read it, may i know how to turn on the dev mode? after i saw the code may be i can help you with that.
No differences except that it is Homekit Compatible and that it needs the Aqara app to function (so not the MiHome app). My advice is if you want to use Xiaomi with HA, get the lumi gateway v2 or v3 (all the ones without Homekit compatibility) and then just feed the entities to Homekit via HA.
Edit: so up until now the Aqara Hub does NOT work with Home Assistant. Stay clear of this device for the time being.

Yes, if you open the Aqara App end press many times to Model you can see that the test mode is enabled!!
Are you sure? As far as I know only the MiHome app works with Home Assistant. Though it might have changed. The Aqara version did not have a dev mode (at least it didn’t have it).
Ah that is great, so the aqara (homekit) hub should work now with HA? If so I might order one. I use the “older” gateway now, but Homekit is my backup for whenever Home Assistant is down for whatever reason. For example I have a tradfri bridge in Homekit but also in HA. When HA fails, my tradfri lights still function and is still available through homekit. But sounds like great news to me.
I have found only the way to enable the test mode but for now I don’t know how to add to home assistant or to see the key…
Ah, the documentation states that the Aqara Gateway is not supported (yet) so that is why I mentioned it.

So? Is it working or de we have to wait for support?
Surprisingly some how (don’t ask…i don’t know how), one day it just showed up on my Home Assistant. Quickly i’ve made an snapshot to avoid loosing it 
Does anyone knows how can I share all of you this integration?
mine is ZHWG11LM.
Hope I can help someone with some guidance.
The only problem I have is that I’ve recently added a smoke detector to the hub, but I can`t make it visible for HA 
I would love to know how to add this. I managed to add the HomeKit hub as a HomeKit device but sensors take FOREVER to update. Adding it natively would be much better.
Is there any news about this integration?
I’m using HA .110 and I added the Aqara HomeKit hub to the system today via HomeKit and it’s working perfectly. Everything is updating in real time and I can feed anything I want to my HomeKit system (passing through HA).
I would suggest giving it a shot. Just get everything set up in HomeKit mode in the Aqara app and then remove it from you Apple Home. Once that’s done you can add it to the HomeKit Controller integration in HA.
which sensors do you use? No delay? Everything perfect? That would be amazing 
I’m using the contact and motion sensors and both work amazingly well.
Thanks @jjross for your update. Can you please explain us in details what activities we have to do for this integration ?
Hopefully this will help
Hey trejoroman, your message reassures me a little! I have exactly the same problem! If you remember you did, I would be really grateful. 
I bought this Aqara ZHWG11LM gateway (instead of a Xiaomi).
So if ever you have any indications to give me, I would be great taker

Sorry for the late late response. did it using a apple HomeKit integration. used the QR code on the Aqara hub.
hope this message finds you well.
