Interfacing Xiaomi LYWSD03MMC to HA using ESP32

Beantree · April 26, 2020, 4:07pm

I recently published my project to interface the Xiaomi LYWSD03MMC temperature and humidity sensor with HA using a Raspberry Pi W. I then realised that the ESP32 supports BLE and can connect to a wifi network, so I set to and developed this project.
Xiaomi_LYWSD03MMC
I have posted the code and given a detailed description on how to use it here

It is, in fact, more sophisticated than the Pi project as it auto discovers the LYWSD03MMC devices. You just need to tell the program what wifi credentials to use and where to find your MQTT server, and it will do the rest.

I have only two devices, so I look forward to people with many devices trying this and letting me know how they get on!

~~https://github.com/AnthonyKNorman/Xiaomi_BLE_Tempertaure_Display_for_HA~~

~~Is this perhaps the correct url?~~

EDIT no, that’s the pi zero code, your link is a 404.

francisp · April 27, 2020, 4:59am

Yup, a 404 to the link.

Beantree · April 27, 2020, 5:26am

Sorry all. I failed to make the repository public! Should work now,

nickrout · April 27, 2020, 5:28am

Yup working now. Thanks.

Beantree · May 3, 2020, 4:38pm

Just uploaded a new version. Found a bug that can cause crashing.

Hello,
I have got problem with connection to MQTT

Msg from putty:

>>> import mqtt
I (4500) modsocket: Initializing

I found information that in mqtt.py should be username and password to MQTT. Do you know how to add it?
I tired:
MQTT_USERNAME = ‘my username’
MQTT_PASSWORD = ‘my password’

but still the same error.

Can you help?

Thank you in advance

Try here https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/blob/b89114c8345e15d360c3707493450805c114bc8c/umqtt.simple/umqtt/simple.py

Beantree · June 20, 2020, 8:58am

@nickrout I correct.
The init parameters for MQTTClient are (self, client_id, server, port=0, user=None, password=None, keepalive=0, ssl=False, ssl_params={})

On line 23 of mqtt.py
client = MQTTClient(client_id, mqtt_server),
you should change this to
client = MQTTClient(client_id, mqtt_server, user='your_user', password='your_password')

Let me know how you get on.

Asica10 · June 20, 2020, 2:54pm

Now everything working thank you for fast answer.
How long this sensors can work on battery?

Beantree · June 21, 2020, 7:25am

I’m not sure. Mine have been running for several months now.

Asica10 · June 24, 2020, 6:13pm

Is it possible turn off scan and set in file MAC address our sensor? Im asking bcs one of my sensor is far from esp32 and 2-3 time per a day it lost connection with esp32 and reset of esp take to much time.

Thank you in advance for your answer

Beantree · June 25, 2020, 8:38am

The scan takes place on boot up. The software then remembers the MAC addresses found until another reboot.
It shouldn’t need a reboot if the connection fails. It should just keep trying each time around the loop…

francisp · June 25, 2020, 10:08am

Your totally off-topic here. This is the Xiaomi LYWSDCGQ

This is the Xiaomi LYWSD03MMC

The Xiaomi LYWSD03MMC DOES NOT WORK with esphome.

valvex · June 25, 2020, 9:16pm

Actually, there has been some progress and now there is a new LYWSD03MMC sensor available in the ESPHome-dev branch. However, it requires to find some unique Bind Keys in order to be able to communicate with the device. Check the thread.

sensor:
  - platform: xiaomi_lywsd03mmc
    mac_address: "a4:c1:38:80:4f:79"
    bindkey: "26d11deb1fcfae7862a462839a5156a9"
    temperature:
        name: "Test Temperature"
    humidity:
        name: "Test Humidity"
    battery_level:
        name: "Test Battery Level"

So far it doesn’t work as expected, for example in my case the sensor updates every 2 hours or so.

So, I would like to ask the OP @Beantree if it is possible to implement this in order to read measurements from both LYWSD03MMC and LYWSDCGQ sensors.

Asica10 · June 30, 2020, 5:25pm

@Beantree Today I had error: [OSError 28] this concerning memory allocation
It was after 2days of working. Reset of ESP32 didn’t solve this issue I have to reflash node.

Do you have this kind of problem?

Beantree · July 2, 2020, 9:27am

No I don’t have this problem. Maybe you could capture some REPL output to show what happens?

Asica10 · July 6, 2020, 3:51pm

@Beantree I have the same problem like I wrote few post above. After 3 days of perfect working my esp module just connect to my WiFi nothing more. I did reset few times and still the same problem. When i connect to Putty are below information:

So the error OSError: 28 appeared again ( I found that: OSError is “No space left on device”,)

I also download other bin file from: https://micropython.org/download/esp32/
for ESP32 version without SPI Ram but problem was the same.

For solve the problem i need to reflash esp32…but it isn’t solution because I should do it every 2-3 days.

Please look at this and maybe you can find solution

francisp · July 6, 2020, 6:42pm

Asica10, how many sensors do you have?
