I’ve received Xiaomi Gateway (lumi.gateway.v3) and has been able to pair it with Mi Home App on Android, and also pair it with two motion sensors and one door sensor with no problem at all. However I still failed to add the gateway to my HA even after reading the docs and various threads here. Maybe it is related to my system setting, so I open this thread to ask for your help as I’m not an expert in Linux system. Here is the detail :
HA installation : Hass.io in Ubuntu Server 18.04 running as guest in VMWare Workstation, which is running on top of Windows 10 desktop PC. The installation method is as described here. This system has been working wonderful for a month using various sonoff and broadlink devices.
Networking : the guest Ubuntu in VM is bridged to the physical USB wireless adapter in the host PC, meaning the ubuntu/hassio is in the same subnet with the physical router and xiaomi gateway. In this case, hassio (192.168.0.143), router (192.168.0.1), and xiaomi (192.168.0.108). Each one can ping other successfully.
Multicast support : I’m not sure on this. I have Tenda AC6 wireless router, which has support for multicast IPTV (which I’m not using). However, I’ve managed to setup a multicast test using ipref tool between hassio machine and another ubuntu VM machine which seems successful (in picture below).
Xiaomi Gateway : using the latest Mi Home app available in my Play Store, choosing China Mainland as the server, and updating the gateway to the latest version available (ver 1.4.1_157.0143). I’ve enabled developer mode, toggling “wireless communication protocol” on, and noted the password. Hub info is shown in the picture below.
The problem : At first, the xiaomi gateway were discovered automatically by discover: component. After adding essential detail just as decribed in the docs, HA seems cannot found the gateway (based on the debug log). The only way I can make it discover the gateway is using this code :
now there’s no error in the frontend, however the gateway and sensors still not coming up, and resulted in the following log :

now it seems HA found my xiaomi gateway but cannot proceed to communicate well? I tried to see whether the 9898 port blocked/closed on the xiaomi side. I proceed to check it as follow :

Strange thing I guess. First test showed the port as closed, however second test showed it as open, although ‘filtered’. Is this the cause of my failure? How can I resolve this problem? I have tried :
hard reset the gateway (5 second button push), deleting the devices and child devices from the mi-home app
it failed to discover any gateway on the network :

Every now and then I tried running nmap to check whether the port 9898 on the xiaomi gateway is open, and the result is strange, sometimes it is reported as closed, sometimes as open|filtered. Could you post your result while running nmap?

Exactly the same, sometimes open, sometimes closed, sometimes filtered as well, seem’s that is normal behaviour for it. I do have mine on a blocked LAN, but that should make no difference at all.
turn off firewall on my windows 10 (host) and ubuntu (guest in VM)

multicast support on router. I’m not sure on this, I have Tenda AC6. I’ve tried searching in the manual, and the only place I found about multicast is in the IPTV setting. I’m not using the IPTV feature but I have enabled it, just in case. I’ve read here about using iperf to test multicast capability of my network. I don’t know whether this is the right tool and whether the result is valid, however I get good result using this method. I’ve already sent an email to Tenda support regarding this regard and still awaiting their response.
trying to set mac: blank → no effect, still error.

In short, I have tried every toubleshooting steps in the documentation page, but still unsuccessful. I have some suspicion :
My errorr always stopped at listening for broadcast. Could it be my router doesn’t support multicast?
I may have too complicated network hops : xiaomi gateway ↔ wireless router (Tenda AC6) ↔ wireless USB stick (TP-Link TL-WN722N) ↔ VMware Ubuntu host (bridged).
I will try to run hassio from persistent-storage live ubuntu on flashdisk (bypassing windows and VMware), or change the wireless USB stick, or even try on a different wireless router…

How was your problem like? How do you find it was the router that block the multicast? May I know what is your router back then, and what is your current router now?
I just bought the Tenda AC6 a month ago, and I really hope that the router was not the culprit. Don’t know what my wife will say if I buy another router…
How was your problem like? How do you find it was the router that block the multicast? May I know what is your router back then, and what is your current router now?
I don’t remember exacly, but first i had 1 router from my company of internet, then they changed my router and then the gateway didn’t appeared in HA, so I installed my old one to test, and with old one, the gateway discovered.
The one that blocked multicast was a livebox, then old one that i was using was a ZTE. Now i have a Unifi.
If you look in forum, about xiaomi gateway discovered problem, you can see about that some routers block the multicast. Ask a friend if has old router…
Look if configuration of hassio has bridge mode activated also…
Hmm… I’ve spoken to the live support of Tenda. Not the best customer support though… Waiting 30 minutes for an answer, and they just answer in two lines and disconnect my session… They said the router supports multicast, although I cannot find any setting regarding multicast in my router web-admin…
However, I will still try to find another router to check this out…
@garvarma what did you mean by hassio bridge mode? I’ve tried googling a bit about it, but still haven’t found any information about it… How do we check the bridge mode of hassio?
what did you mean by hassio bridge mode? I’ve tried googling a bit about it, but still haven’t found any information about it… How do we check the bridge mode of hassio
In my case i’m using HA in dockers option. In my case when i configure the docker, i need to put in bridge mode, that all devices works in the same network.
If you didn’t find anything, in google, then maybe is not necessary in your case.
speaking of this docker thing… I went ahead and try to see whether my system is actually running on a docker… So, when I issue this command from SSH (putty), this is the result that I get :
Does that mean I’m running hassio in docker? If yes, how do I make it running in –net:host mode? I’m really lost here, and I’ve tried searching around for instruction to run the already-installed docker in host mode… Any help would be appreciated…
Hmm… I’ve tried using different router D-LINK L7-N-R2000 which have multicast capability (there’s a menu about that in the setting). But the error persist. It seems like the port 9898 is closed most of the time. It only opens for a second after I disabled-enable LAN access. I assume this is the bug of the latest firmware…
i dont think it is multicast issue. Cause multicast issue you still can discover the gateway but will keep give key error in the logs
Possible migateway bug.
Try this.
turn off wireless communication protocol
change the password by press the button(avoid password with L / i / o / 9 / g. Sometime, cant differentiate it.)
turn on wireless communication protocol
try connect using new password.
if step 4 fail. Reboot your migateway and wait 5 mins after reboot. Then restart your home assistant.
Other things you can try is running hassbian rather than hass.io.
I has problem with hass.io which it only listen to my lan port and not my wireless.
You can also see the broadcast from migateway using ngrep
$ ngrep port 9898
interface: eth0 (192.168.xx.0/255.255.255.0)
filter: (ip or ip6) and ( port 9898 )
#
U 192.168.xx.xx:4321 -> 224.0.0.50:9898
{"cmd":"heartbeat","model":"gateway","sid":"xxxxxxx","short_id":"0","token":"xxxxxxxxxxxxx","data":"{\"ip\":\"192.168.xx.xx\"}"}

U 192.168.xx.xx:4321 -> 224.0.0.50:9898
{"cmd":"heartbeat","model":"gateway","sid":"xxxxxxx","short_id":"0","token":"xxxxxxxxxx","data":"{\"ip\":\"192.168.xx.xx\"}"}

thanks for the suggesntion @tyjtyj
I will once again try to disable-enable wireless comm protocol, changing the password…
I’ve tried ngrep port 9898 but I’ve waited 30 mins there’s nothing on port 9898… not a heartbeat from the gateway… I really think the gateway doesn’t want to open himself to the network…
Anyway, what is you nmap result to the gateway? could you please perform
nmap -sU 192.168.0.x -p 9898,4321 to your gateway IP?
I’ve tempted to try to install hassbian. But don’t know how to install hassbian on ubuntu desktop pc?
Yes, nmap is rather unreliable over wifi… If you use cable like me, you will get far more success doing nmap.
I see you have port 4321 and 9898 open on Gateway… I never have those port opens, eventhough I reset the gateway multiple times, and disable-enable LAN access numerous times. I wish I could send you my unit to test.
