This is how to use the Xiaomi Aqara Wireless Double Button without the Xiaomi Home Hub (A ZIGBEE STICK IS STILL REQUIRED) using ZHA in Home Assistant. Other devices just work without any hard to find IDs.

ADD DEVICE TO ZHA

  1. Go to “Configuration”

  2. Then “ZHA”

  3. Hit “Add Devices”

  4. Hold down left switch while lights are blinking until the left light blinks and stops

  5. You can now name your button and hit the back button in the upper left hand corner

GET DEVICE ID

  1. Go to Developer Tools

  2. Events on the top menu

  3. Type “zha_event” where it says “Listen to events”

  4. Go push the button you added into HA in the last section

  5. You will see a “unique_id”

  6. This “unique_id” is what you need it will be something like “00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:2:0x0006”

  7. The number before the 0x0006 is the button number.

a. 1 is left button click

b. 2 is right button click

c. 3 is both button click

CREATE AUTOMATION TO MAKE THE BUTTONS DO SOMETHING

  1. Go to “Configuration”

  2. Then “Automations”

  3. Hit plus in lower right hand corner

  4. Hit “Skip” on the “Powered by Almond” screen

  5. Add name for automation (Not needed, but useful and recommenced)

  6. Go to “Triggers”

  7. Hit the three horizontal lines then choose “Edit as YAML”

  8. Paste the following after step 10 AND MAKE SURE TO CHANGE THE “unique_id” TO MATCH YOURS

  9. Then go ahead and fill out the Conditions (if there is any) and the Actions

  10. Now test. You should have a fully working button without the Xiaomi Home Hub :-)
