Update FP2 in Aqara Home before troubleshooting. Aqara does not publish one universal minimum firmware for every region and integration path, so record the installed version rather than relying on an invented cutoff.
Troubleshooting checklist
- Confirm FP2 works in Aqara Home and record its firmware version before changing integrations.
- Keep FP2 and the target controller reachable on the same LAN; check mDNS and VLAN rules if discovery fails.
- A HomeKit accessory can be paired to only one HomeKit controller at a time; remove the old controller pairing without factory-resetting first.
- After changing Aqara zones, reload the integration or restart Home Assistant before rebuilding entities.
