sonoff Plus V2 “ZBDongle-E” (based on EFR32MG21) ember device is now setup.
Now I want to setup my devices thru the zigbee2mqtt user interface
http://localhost:8088/#/
I have aqara devices: movement sensor, door sensors, temperature and humidity sensors.
I also have a xiaomi temperature and humidity sensor
Any howto to link these devices or to information on the subject would be great.
Thanks.

Allowing devices to join | Zigbee2MQTT
Follow “Pairing”:
I have spent a few hours trying to understand the zigbee2mqtt ui using a few devices among which:
aqara temperature sensor
https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/WSDCGQ12LM.html
aqara motion sensor p1
https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/RTCGQ14LM.html
I though I saw something in the error log of zigbee2mqqt.
This is the one I used:
So I realized that none of my attempt of pairing worked.
I had to reset the zigbee2mqqt docker container. Then I tried to pair the aqara temperature and motion sensor.
For this I get into the zigbee2mqqt user interface.
Using the option Permit to join all, I click on the little sun at its right. The interface changes from light blue to black.
On the aqara temperature device I push the top button for over 5 sec which triggers a fast blinking of the blue light, then I push on the same button every 2 sec which triggers a single flash of the blue light.
The same operation is done for the aqara motion sensor.
Looking at the error log, there is no evidence of my testing on the zigbee2mqqt interface with the temperature and motion sensors devices.
Here is the log:

Info on problematic reasons for not pairin seem to be almost inexistant.

Why does my device not or fail to pair?
This problem can be divided in 2 categories; no logging is shown at all OR interview fails.
etc. etc., more general considerations.
Any suggestion will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Don’t click on the sun. Click on “Permit to join” as in the snapshot below:
Info about that you’ll see in the “frontend logs”
Hope this helps you

Great!
So simple that I could just miss it.
Merci grandement!
I have been able to pair:
aqara motion sensors (2)
aqara temperature and humidity sensors (2)
aqara door sensor (2)
aqara smoke alarm
The xiaomi temperature and humidity sensor seems more complicated:

You have to flash the device.
I was not able to do it following the instructions.
I have tried:
removing the battery
shorting the device, removing the cover and contact between ground and reset poles with a paper clip.
Any cue?
Now I want to tie the motion and door sensor to a wifi alarm siren which is tuya.
How do I do that?
De rien ! 
Sorry, I don’t have thistemperature-sensor. I’m using “Sonoff SNZB-02D”, but as I understand you have to flash the sensor before using.
Maybe this Url can help you !?
The easiest way is to do it by a rule, if there are no direct chaining is possible.
Here is a textual DSL-rule, which I’m using.
rule "Alarmsirene"
when
Member of gWatAlTrig changed from OFF to ON
then
var vTriggerString = triggeringItem.name + " - " + triggeringItem.label
sendCommand(ASIR2_Sirene_3OPTICALALARMSELECTION,"BLINKING_ALTERNATELY_REPEATING")
sendCommand(ASIR2_Sirene_3ACOUSTICALARMSELECTION,"FREQUENCY_ALTERNATING_LOW_MID_HIGH")
sendCommand(ASIR2_Sirene_3DURATIONUNIT,"S")
sendCommand(ASIR2_Sirene_3DURATIONVALUE,15)
logInfo("Alarm-Sirene","Achtung WasserSensor hat ausgelöst {}", vTriggerString)
val mailActions = getActions("mail","mail:smtp:tonline-smtp")
mailActions.sendMail("username@gmx.de", "Wasser-Alarm", "OH4 - es wird nass (Wasser-Alarm): " + vTriggerString)
end
So if one of my sensors (grouped as “gWatAlTrig”) changes it’s state to ON, the Siren (“ASIR2_Sirene_3”) is activated and an e-mail is sent to a recipient.
Thanks for these procedures. I am away from home now, I will try these on Sunday or Monday.
