Hello sir
I hope that you are doing ok
Thanks all the time for your instructive videos. So far after having many automations. The few ones that keep working are the ones with this sensor.
Unfortunately my other ones in apple HomeKit they don’t do it anymore
For the last two weeks I cannot create any automations in the home app whatsoever.
The error is like that when I am trying to create one, it tells me could not complete operation that is the message.
I have done practically almost anything. Restarting my phone, among many other things
I even called Apple home support and no success, they are still trying to figure it out, they are even escalating to the engineering team.
Don’t know what else to do
Any ideas or input will be greatly appreciated…

Weird...I don't know what to tell you.
Apple HomeKit I have always had luck with a reboot of the Home Hub. So whatever the HomeKit app says is the Home Hub, give that a reboot. I do my WiFi network too at the same time. Usually things come back.
One thing I wonder too...if you connected it to Aqara's hub? That seems to join Thread networks that Apple may not have access to. Maybe something broke Thread wise. Check the network your Aqara hub is connected to if you're using one.

[@Carlos76gato]

Yes that is very weird for sure.
Thanks for your response, I will definitely do that.
Also maybe my thread network is messed up somehow. So frustrated but I really appreciate your input in this matter.
Hopefully I will get a solution. Since as you know the ultimate goal is automate not piling up with smart devices but being able to automate as all of you content creators have thought us.
You are a great content creator and best one explaining details and intricancies or your videos, extremely knowledgeable as well. Keep up the good work
Thanks again Man !!!

This may sound like a dumb question but will this work with the SmartThings V3 hub without having to buy the Aqara hub or download a special driver? I currently use Thirdreality wireless motion sensors that are PRICED really well.

[@quicktechreviewss]

Yes it will, and not a stupid question at all!

[@pawlos101]

I have question, with P1 sensor its actually getting motion when you walk on "edge" of sensor. If you walk exactly infront of it it doesnt get it. How is it with P2?

[@quicktechreviewss]

Both seem great. Never noticed that with my P1 though...so maybe you got a bad one?
