Aqara temperature/humidity sensor not updating

Hi all,

I am running a zigbee network for a few months now, with zigbee2mqtt(z2m) and the domoticz domoticz-zigbee2mqtt-plugin.
All devices work excelent, except for my 2 aqara temperature/humidity sensors.
They are correctly connected to the zigbee coordinator. I see very regular updates from the sensors in the z2m logs.
I even see the update timestamp in the list in domoticz when I check in the z2m plugin list of devices.
But the connected devices in Domoticz don't show the updated temperature/humidity readings. The latest update there is from a month or so back.

So the issue seems to be at the domoticz side, either in the plugin, or domoticz itself.
No resetting and repairing has helped sofar. Does anyone have (had) similar issues?
Any suggestion to get the devices to show the updated readings correctly in Domoticz?

I found one similar issue https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/3603.

Any help/hint/suggestion is welcome.

Bert

Weird. I have 3, one of which stopped updating last week but replacing the battery fixed it (it's outside and want updating in z2m as well).
If the z2m web page confirms the device updates then maybe you can switch on debug in the plugin and see if you can see anything weird. That's probably what Stas will ask for as well.

An update from my side. In a discussion on the issue I made for the Zigbee2mqtt plugin, I learned that the plugin currently doesn't handle a slash in the name very well. I had grouped my sensors with a second topic level in zigbee2mqtt: e.g. /zigbee2mqtt/temperature/templiving" . Taking the middle part out solved the problem. My sensor are updating again. And I hope Stanislav will fix this in his (otherwise) great plugin:-)

Regards,

Bert

Putting a slash in a device name which will be integrated into MQTT where the slash is a topic separator is something risky, unless you absolutely want to have amazing side effects ;-) You may also try with a #, which also has special meaning in MQTT ;-)
