Error setting up xiaomi_miio platform in 0.61.1

eifinger · January 18, 2018, 11:02am

Hi, I just upgraded to 0.61.1 and encountered the following error when trying to start up homeassistant again.
Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thank you!

Same error here while trying to add some wifi mi plug (they are working correctly with the Mi app)

Same here; Vacuum and Philips ceiling not working

This looks like an issue with construct or python-miio. After downgrading construct to v2.8.21, functionality returned. Mirobo crashes too so I don’t think this is a HomeAssistant issue.

hmm…i also have the same error

I downgraded construct by running this:
pip3 install construct==2.8.21

This code change will (hot)fix the issue:

darks0ul · January 18, 2018, 7:09pm

Confirmed working but another error pops out

Did your setup work in the past? What’s the name of the device you are trying to control?

darks0ul · January 18, 2018, 7:35pm

yes it worked… the deveice is mi wifi power strip

syssi · January 18, 2018, 7:38pm

Are you able to ping the device/ip?

darks0ul · January 18, 2018, 7:45pm

yes the device is working again after i did the swap in protocol.py

eifinger · January 19, 2018, 9:06am

For me both methods resulted in the errors darks0ul posted.
So, same behaviour if I downgrade Construct to 2.8.21 and if I change the order of the arguments in protocol.py when using construct==2.8.22.
Edit: python_miio==0.3.0

thundergreen · January 19, 2018, 9:55pm

As soon as I change the file and restart hass… It installs miio and I have to change it again …why?

syssi · January 20, 2018, 9:23pm

This is normal. You could try to use the development version of homeassistant. The issue is fixed there.

thundergreen · January 20, 2018, 10:17pm

let me check this right now

thundergreen · January 20, 2018, 10:55pm

Yeah. Robo back to life 10000 thanks

DavidFW1960 · January 30, 2018, 1:21am

anyone know if this is fixed in 0.62.1?

SirSheik · January 30, 2018, 1:40pm

Same problem in Hass.io 0.62.0

thundergreen · January 30, 2018, 4:40pm

according to release notes, nothing concerning xiaomi has been fixed. But how mentioned above. this should have been fixed in latest hass release 0.62.0 alredy… for me it works… which setup / install method areu using?
