Xiaomi & Aqara Devices - Pairing & Keeping them connected

That's the one I have, but with the Chinese plug and an adapter they included with it. Yes, that is 32 end devices.

This is the one that's supposed to be here, but is overdue

The report on HomeKit News says 100 end devices. Originally I read 90. They also say 30 end devices on the current Aqara HomeKit gateway, which most of the info out there say 32. So I'm not 100% positive about any of it. :roll_eyes:

This is the new Mijia Multi-Mode Gateway that supports Bluetooth Mesh and Zigbee 3.0 (Like the Aqara M2 Gateway will), but everything I can find except that one report (from HomeKit News, so take it with a grain of salt) says 32. It's also one of the first Xiaomi products I've seen that specifically supports IKEA Trådfri bulbs. So that solidifies the early reports of a partnership between Xiaomi and IKEA.

This is the older gateway that @Royski and @bobbles have. It's the one explicitly needed for the MiConnector app. But I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe, I can use the New Mijia Multimode gateway with it. I didn't buy it for that reason, and I think in reality my chances of that are slim, but it would be a nice bonus. You have to be able to enter a dev mode and I'm not confident that's available on all of the Mijia gateways. In fact I think @Royski said it wasn't, but the one he listed was the one that works with MiConnector.
