Xiaomi Aqara Window Door Sensor

Installation via the Homey:

The Homey has the possibility to use this sensor directly without the Xiaomi Gateway. This is of course very nice if you do not want to send all your data to China. To add it, log in to the Homey and go to your devices. Then click on the plus sign and look for the Xiaomi Aqara door / window sensor. If you do not have the APP you have to install it. Pay attention that you have the correct version (the Aqara).

To start adding, press the button on the bottom for 3 seconds. The LED will flash blue. Then keep pressing the button every 2 seconds to keep the sensor awake. Continue to do this until it is completely added by the Homey. I see the sensor appear and the opening / closing of the door is registered. The only thing missing is the battery status. Make sure you keep the sensor close to the Homey. I have noticed that adding it is difficult if you keep it far away.

Flow options:

Example flow:

I would like that when the door opens, and it is after sunset that the lamp in the hall comes on. If I close the door again, the lamp must go out after 30 seconds. This rule can run all day, so I don't include the sunset in it.
