Automating my Xiaomi stuff

Third party integrations AppDaemon
1

Super new user here with appdaemon and have a question on listening for an Xiaomi event - the click (or double-click) of my round button.

Here’s how I do it in HA:

- alias: Test 1B Button Double Click
  initial_state: 'on'
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: click
    event_data:
      entity_id: binary_sensor.switch_158d000186d98f
      click_type: double
  action:
    - service: light.turn_on
      entity_id: light.gateway_light_34ce008d5720
      data:
        rgb_color: [4,26,255]
        brightness: 255

Here’s where I am with appdaemon:

import appdaemon.appapi as appapi

#
# Light Automations
#
# Args:
#

class Lights(appapi.AppDaemon):

  def initialize(self):
        self.listen_event(self.switch_test, event = "click")

  def switch_test(self,entity, attribute, old, new, kwargs):
        self.log("clicked it!")

It doesn’t work :disappointed:

Is there some documentation or examples of appdaemon automations with the Xiamoi sensors?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide this noooooob.

There are examples in the docs here

In your case, this works



import appdaemon.appapi as appapi


class click(appapi.AppDaemon):

    def initialize(self):
        self.log("initialize")
        self.listen_event(self.switch_test, "click")

    def switch_test(self,event_name, data, kwargs):
        self.log("clicked it!", level="WARNING")

Edit:
You can get the data from the event in the callback using

data['entity_id']

or

data['click_type']

Thank you - this was vey helpful.

Did you get it working? Can you share code for xiaomi with appdaemon? Thanks.

Here are some automations that I have for Xiaomi stuff - hopefully it will help you to get started:

          self.listen_event(self.x_button2_single, "click", entity_id = globals.x_switch_2, click_type = "single")

Let me know if you have any questions - good luck!

Thank you. And in this globals you store values? Can you share that also? And what this flags module do? i’m flooding you with questions. Sorry. :slight_smile:

globals.py - just a place to store global variables to make it easier to reference and change actual names. It looks like this:

# Global variables

flags.py is similar - and I am not using any longer.

Hi go this working for all states, but wondering do you know what or how you trigger the Alert function on the cube?

Try to shake the table where cube lies, drop it on couch, just touch it.
