Door/window sensors do not trigger HK notifications

Cupertino, March 22, 2024

I have a weird HK quirk that developed right after I installed iOS 17.4. I was hoping it would be fixed in 17.4.1, but no luck. I have about 15 Aqara door and window sensors throughout my house. It works flawlessly and registers the correct status in both the Aqara app and Apple Home. However, since I installed iOS 17.4, I no longer receive notifications on my iPhone or iPad when they are opened or closed. What's weird is that they always show the correct state, in real time, in Apple Home - I can see them change in the app when I open or close them. I've triple checked all my notification settings, tried turning them on and off, etc. and I still don't get them. Notifications work fine for other accessories so I know it's not a settings issue. And my automations involving Aqara accessories work fine. I just don't get notifications when a door or window opens. This is true on both my iPhone and iPad - both running the latest OS. Any ideas on how to fix this?
