Hey there! after some struggling i’ve now home assistant working on my house started to pair devices, philips hue without problems, but when it comes to pair xiaomi zhirui downlight it’s a little tricky.
I’ve got the token, and the correct config to pair a downlight, here’s the config:
ok i understand this is something i’ll do, but not now, basically because it’s not going to solve my problem, i will keep looking for more info about xiaomi_miio platform, my solution it’s probably there.
i already uninstalled philips gateway, it’s working perfect with rpi now… i’m one step away of gettin rid of the xiaomi gateway too, only need to know how to add 2 or more devices, so i can pair the rest of devices in my house.
ok forget the last message, i’ve got it already. In overview > configure UI > create new view with elements i want > delete old view > done
about the topic issue with xiaomi, it’s solved too, a user (thank you @elnaor) answered me in another thread, and this is the correct form for adding xiaomi lights, and all will be visible in “entities” section, so you can add it to lovelace and control them.
Now i’m having an issue with WXKG02LM, i’ve got 3 of them. Turn z2m join true and try to pair, but nothing happens, changed battery but still nothing in z2m log. What’s going on?
i’ve tried this right now, eaven changed USB, but no luck, still can’t pair double switches, the strange thing is that single key switch paired in a second and i’ve got It working ok with automations.
i’ve got it!! i’ve got the 3 switches paired. Remove the battery, like 15 minutes (probably it work with 2 o 3 minutes but i did it that way). After that, install battery and reset device, paired at first attempt, the other 2 swtiches paired at first attempt too.
So finally, i’ve got rid of both gateways, xiaomi and philips hue, and could bring to life an osram plug that i had without his gateway.
I’m extremely proud of this:
TO DO:
make home assistant usable when i’m not at home (now works only on wifi).
make the corridor motion sensor won’t last 2 minuts on, just want like 10 seconds.
move all installation to docker (now i’ve seen this working, want to move from rpi3b+ to rpi4 and use it as home assistant + kodi/plex player.
