Cheers… Note also changes motion sensors to proper binary_sensors so that’s awesome.

hangy · December 20, 2016, 11:31am

so i need to change all the configuration… because this part is no longer required if i understand…

binary_sensor:

platform: template
sensors:
corridoio:
friendly_name: Corridoio
value_template: “{{ states.sensor.magnet_xxxxxxxx.state == ‘open’ }}”
sensor_class: opening
entity_id:
- sensor.magnet_xxxxxxxx

it’s correct?

@hangy Normally you only need to add one line to the configuration file:

aqara:

I made a mistake in the readme github sorry

accelle · December 20, 2016, 3:59pm

Isn’t there a long press?

rmdejonge · December 20, 2016, 5:38pm

haha, thanks
Nice the update you have make! Thanks for de work! For me too dificult…

rmdejonge · December 20, 2016, 6:57pm

Fooxy,

(Sorry for my englisch, i do my best )

The magnet is also working, displayed in the top as: magnet ** macadres ****
In your discription you say use it as: sensor.magnet_SENSORID.
But home assistant see the sensor as: binary_sensor.magnet_158d00010f7bb9
In the manual: value_template: “{{ states.sensor.magnet_158d0001179ae9.state == ‘open’ }}”
But HA displays on and off.

A wrong manual or a wrong .py file?
Again, Thanks for all your work, i love this

fooxy · December 20, 2016, 7:12pm

Yes mistake too, I’ll fix it.
Thanks for the feedback.

@fooxy
Excellent. Sorry for the late reply. I am traveling these days.
It would be nice if we could also have the long press component/action (the switch has this option with the official app). Even better, if we could have triple click for actions that aren’t used that often (e.g. set a certain light color, reset something etc.).
I am expecting to see something new from Xiaomi since the price of the switches dropped significantly the last days.
Thanks again.
Regards.

I’m a bit confused by the app, as the current one is different from the images posted here, and I’m finding it hard to do anything with it, let alone enabling local communication. Are people using the latest linked android app or a previous one, and if so, where do I find it?

accelle · December 21, 2016, 7:30am

I had to use mainland china as the location to be able to add the products such as the motion sensor/magnet.

tieke · December 21, 2016, 8:25am

Thanks accelle, using Mainland China did the trick.

hangy · December 21, 2016, 8:35am

i’ve modified the binary_sensor/aqara.py because magnet sensors status is on when the contact is closed (door closed)… but i think it’s more convenient the opposit so it became on when i open the doors.

the lines i’ve modified are: 44

if status =='close': change it to: if status =='open':

and line 88… same thing

if status =='close': change it to: if status =='open':

fooxy · December 21, 2016, 12:10pm

I used the “on” status when contact is close because it seems better for sensor badges.
I updated the code with your remark as it seems most logical.

@all,

I updated new version with a switch component.
I don’t have for the moment a switch for testing.
If some can test. thanks.

dquancey · December 21, 2016, 3:22pm

Nice, I’ve got a few switches.

Just tried on my test machine and the switches aren’t showing up? Unless I’m missing something.

fooxy · December 21, 2016, 4:59pm

have you updated the main aqara.py file at the root of the custom_components folder

hangy · December 21, 2016, 7:58pm

ok i’ve also the switch now i try your code… but the switch has 3 actions:

single click
double click
long click (long pressure on the switch)

if you need some debugging tell me how to do it (and sorry for my bad english but i’m italian)

Sorry being a Noob… How to add switch to Yaml?

Also getting this when starting 0.41

JasonCampey · December 22, 2016, 6:47am

Im guessing just

Switch:
Platform: aqara

Also looking I think that error is just the value was left over cos I dont see that value being passed as a parameter to the method.

JasonCampey · December 22, 2016, 8:24am

A lot of magnet switches I have seen have two options NC = Normally closed and NO = Normally open. Dont have one to check but might be an option within the Mihome app to swap them around?
