I had it in the dishwasher so I could get notifications when it's done but it pushes a notification that water is gone about 4/5 through the cycle. I think it may be ok with an alarm delay but it has to be quite long time. The gateway then just continues flashing and the entire thing needs a reboot to stop the flashing. Positives; yeelight integration and temperature sensors are fine. Aqara wall switches worked just fine with yeelight.

Point being soon you will be able to turn and off your house alarm system with Alexa etc Just switch everything to EU server and use the new mi home Alexa skill.

Sensor is working fine because I've got it to trigger the hub to pick a ringtone but notifications won't come through android. They are coming through to iPad. Looked online and it seems common problem but I haven't found any solution. I also was able to turn the light off by running a scene that turned it off.

Only this week have I set up my PIR, Temp and Humidity Sensors, Switches and Lights with Home Assistant! Still figuring HA out but seems to be working well. I've ordered some door and window sensors along with the Xiaomi Honeywell Smoke Alarm to try out (ill be purchasing Nest Smoke Alarms for the main rooms for piece of mind however).

I have notifications set to alert me when alarm is armed, which work ok most of the time but the actual alert when the alarm was triggered was just coming through as a text alert as opposed to an alarm sound - I can’t find a setting to change that. But then yesterday when testing, it’s not alerting at all on that phone when alarm is triggered. I’ve tested on an iPhone 7 and an old HTC One and they both work fine. This is quite a serious issue and I’ve decided to stop using the A2 as my main phone for now.

theteal wrote: » I'll answer my own question, just in case the info is useful to others. Yes the Aqara door/window sensors work perfectly fine with the normal Mijia Gateway. I've just received and set up a bunch of them. Very happy.
