Developers wanted to combine the Xiaomi treadmill and the Adadruit Bluetooth Low Energy Bike Computer and connect it to Home Assistant

[PeterGamma (Meditation Research Institute Switzerland)]

In the HA community, there are treads about the Xiaomi treadmill:

Xiaomi Treadmill/WalkingPad Integration

Xiaomi Treadmills and WalkingPads connect via WiFi using MiHome app It would be really nice to fire automations based on treadmills/walking pads states and speed [image] [image]

Xiaomi Walkingpad

I’ve realised that I can use an RF blaster to replicate the remote’s functionality, I would of still really like it working through BT to also get data from the treadmill…

We do not know of anyone wo confirms that the Xiaomi treadmill HA integration works. But there is code available to control the Xiaomi treadmill from a PC. Just google for it.

There are BLE treadmill sensors available. We have reviewed those on our site.

It should be possible to connect those over a Training tracker to Strava to Home Assistant:

We are looking for a developer with good coding skills and knowledge of Spanish to integrate the Xiaomi Treadmill into Home Assistant

coder wanted which integrates and tests whether Xiaomi treadmills can be controlled in Home Assistant coder wanted which tests whether the available treadmill sensors can be streamed over the path we described to Home Assistant we are confident that it works coder wanted who does it for fun and in his spare time an instruction how it can be done can be found here: https://petergamma.org/how-to-control-and-measure-speed-of-a-xiaomi-treadmill-in-home-assistant/

But we do not know of any community which uses this path on a regular basis. We came to the conclusion, that an excellent component for this project is the Adafruit Pyloton Open Source BLE Bike computer:

The Pyloton solves problems discussed here on a fundamental level. The sensors of the Pyloton can be replaced by a foot pod. The Treadmill sensors reviewed on our site support the BLE foot pod protocol.

According to our own little experience, the setup described here is a very interesting setup which will find friends all over the world.
