Xiaomi Gateway (Aqara) - compatible?

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

New Aqara Gateway Hub

You have to set it up in the Aqara App first. Here’s what I did to get things working: Ensure the Aqara app is in “HomeKit” mode. Press and hold the button the hub until it flashes yellow. Once it’s flashing, add the hub to the Aqara (or Apple Home) app. Open the Aqara app and add all of the sensors that you are going to use. Configure the Hub to behave the way you want (which sensors will trigger the alarm, the volume of the hub, etc). Note, that in HomeKit mode you cannot change the alarm …

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
