I have some contact sensors that used to work great. But, for some reason after **eWeLink CUBE 2.0.0** update, all them stopped updating states on **Node RED** , although they work normally on iHost.

Here it goes. I don’t believe the Node-RED docker image has any issue. Maybe it’s a **node-red-contrib-ewelink-cube** problem. [20e396e3-6724-4d33-baf6-af73a99faec3.zip](https://forum.ewelink.cc/uploads/short-url/crcE2a4cDLKGEdgqxp0wkBXbaSu.zip) (5.6 MB) ---

I’ve also discovered that **Homebridge** with eWeLink CUBE plugin ( **homebridge-plugin-ewelink-cube** ) isn’t receiving contact sensor states either. It’s log has: `[6/25/2024, 4:14:07 PM] [homebridge-plugin-ewelink-cube] This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Contact Sensor State': characteristic value expected valid finite number and received "NaN" (number).

What’s the model of your contact sensor? We’ll see if is a compatibility issue. ---

It’s working fine in iHost, right? We’ve checked. The result is this device used new capability which is not supported by node-red plugin yet. We’ll support it in next version of node-red-contrib-ewelink-cube. ---

Yes, it works fine on iHost. It’s no longer working on both homebridge and node-red eWeLink plugins. **Thank you** for your feedback. ---

I’m also really interested in this. Unfortunately all my contact sensor are useless outside iHost, where all my automations run. ---

Just to add what I found – I was starting to do some NR with a couple of spare contact sensors when in the debug noticed that some do not report ‘detect’ – it is not even a capability – but not every sensor suffers the same! The sensors report correctly in the ihost dashboard. ![Screenshot 2024-07-06 165855](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/ewelinkforum/original/2X/9/9945d3e04fd38b39de7b77261cb0eb287c9d9cc6.png) ---

Oh, so these unfortunate people are F-ed for two months, basically. That’s not something responsible business would do. Out of sheer curiosity then: how can people bring back the old firmware and run it as a temporary solution, till a new firmware is pushed out? Seriously guys, telling people that their smart home is out of order for 1/6th of a year on top of all problems the CUBE has been giving so far is ludicrous. Hotfix! Does it ring any bells anywhere…?
