 The `xiaomi_aqara` component allows you to integrate [Xiaomi](http://www.mi.com/en/) Aqara-compatible devices into Home Assistant.
 
+Please note, there are two versions of the hub: v1 and v2. v1 can be used with Home Assistant without any problems, however, v2 might be less straight forward when it comes to enabling the local API, and might even require you to open up your device in order to do so. Xiaomi has suggested this is in the pipeline.
