Question

I am really struggling to get my system up and running again after ive moved, and reset my hub. at this point most of the sensors are back online, but no one of the xiaomi sensors are back online. ive tried to reset them by holding the button in for more than 5 sec, and then pushed the button again. but none of them are reconnected. anyone has any tip ? if i try the cathcall method i cant find any catchall in the logs

Answer 1

Put hub in pairing mode. Hold button on device down until light flashes about 4-5 times then release. After a second or two you should get three quick flashes. That means it connected to hub. Then wait patiently for app to show successful pairing. Might take up to 5 minutes in app to show up. The key is seeing those three quick flashes. If it doesn’t do that try again. Thats the method I use for temp and contact sensors.

@hokkaido Thank you for the replies. I dont know why, but i changed the batteries and suddenly i could connect them all. bad batteries perhaps ?

Its possible. They usually last about 18-24 Months. Anything under 2. 7volts, they will start to drop out or start giving crazy temperature readings. Just something to think about. Iv'e done some testing with both the aqara and regular xiaomi temp sensors. The aqara are the square shaped ones, and the regular "Mi" are the round ones. The square "Aqara" are more stable with Smartthings and tend not to loose connection as easily as the round ones. I have been using and testing these in various situations for almost 3 years now.
