Aqara Double Rocker Remote Switch H1

A battery powered wall switch with two rockers, SKU AR009GLG01. It switches nothing and reads nothing on its own: each press is something you bind to a routine, so one rocker can set a scene, switch on the lights or do anything else a routine can.

Sensa Connection Method

Zigbee.

Installation

Install it following Aqara's instructions, within range of your Zigbee coordinator. Mains-powered Zigbee devices pass the signal on, so they extend that range.

Configuration

The switch uses Zigbee, so you need a Zigbee coordinator added to Sensa first, such as the SMLight SLZB or the Sonoff Dongle M.

Adding to Sensa Nomad

Open Settings, choose the Devices tab and press Pair Zigbee, then hold both rockers on the switch for 10 seconds. Sensa adds it as soon as it joins, and it moves to Added. If it does not join the first time, hold both rockers again.

If it has been paired before and is waiting under Discovered, tick it and press Add Selected Devices. If it is not there yet, press Scan.

See Adding devices for more.

What you see

The switch gets no card of its own. Instead, build a routine with When, Device, and pick the switch. Its presses are offered by name, such as Left rocker · single press and Both rockers · hold, so each rocker and each kind of press can have a different job.

If double, triple and hold presses stop working, click either rocker five times quickly. That swaps the switch between its two press modes, and one of them only sends single presses.
