Have you already installed the Zigbee Map app ?

[RELEASE] Zigbee Map app

This application allows you to visualize the topology and connectivity of your Zigbee network. Important: The app requires at least Platform Version 2.3.8.117 since it uses a functionality released with this version! Use at least version 1.9.2 of Hubitat Package Manager (HPM) to install the app. Older versions sometimes fail to correctly add the zigbee-map.html file in the File Manager. [zigbee-map] How it works Each Zigbee device keeps a list of other devices that are within direct rad…

Do the following :

1. pair the RTCGQ11LM very close to the hub. Make sure it works. You may need to pair it 2-3-4-5 .. times, Ensure it changes motion active/inactive reliably.

2. Check the Zigbee Map - you will probably see the motion sensor paired directly to your hub. This is the problem - Aqara older generations battery-powered devices must be paired via an compatible Zigbee repeater (router)

3. Without deleting the sensor, pair it again, but this time very close to a mains-powered Zigbee repeater (router). By 'close' I mean nearly touching the repeater, so that its signal is so strong, that the Aqara sensor does not hear anything else, except that repeater.

4. Refresh the Zigbee Map. You must see a picture like this - the Aqara sensor is now communicating via your repeater of choice :

5. If the map still shows a direct connection to the hub - pair it again very close to the hub (step 3).

6. Verify that the sensor still works.
