Lovelace: Xiaomi - Mi air purifier 3H card

majkers · November 14, 2020, 9:35am

Something is wrong with automations (Purifier 3H). When I change mode from eg. Auto to favourite it changes for a second and then changes to fan. This is what I see in log:

Mi Air Purifier 3H mode change init has been triggered by state of input_select.mi_air_purifier_3h_mode
10:32:19 - 3 minuty temu
Mi Air Purifier 3H mode change update has been triggered by state of fan.mi_air_purifier_3h
10:32:19 - 3 minuty temu
Mi Air Purifier 3H fan level change init has been triggered by state of input_number.mi_air_purifier_3h_fan_level
10:32:18 - 3 minuty temu
Mi Air Purifier 3H fan level change update has been triggered by state of fan.mi_air_purifier_3h
10:32:18 - 3 minuty temu

Look like both automations fire one by one…

Changing mode is changing fan level and we have chain reaction…

Hello,

Work like a charm but really difficult for my first integration … But i’m happy now. Thanks a lot !

@check I can see the only difference are the conditions, like the one bellow, you added on 3 automations. I will give them a try and let you know my thoughts.

check:

    condition: and
    conditions:
      # Check if turned on
      - '{{ (state_attr(''fan.mi_air_purifier_3h'', ''favorite_level'') | int) != 0 }}'
      # Proceed only if purifier favorite level is set different than on HA card
      - '{{ (state_attr(''fan.mi_air_purifier_3h'', ''favorite_level'') | int) != (states(''input_number.mi_air_purifier_3h_favorite_level'') | int) }}'

@majkers I think this is how Purifier implements changes in Favorite level. When going through different favorite levels it changes also the fan level. The lowest ones are with FAN level 1 and the highest ones with FAN level 3. So the automations see also a FAN changes and reacts accordingly. I have also to think about on how not to run automation when Favorite level changed.

I just updated my initial post where I added checks for 2S in automations. It works flawlessly without bloating the log when device sends status update.

I’ve had lot’s of issues with purifiers this year and finally I can say it’s working right.

Thanks all for sharing your job. Was very helpful to me.

I have been reworking this system until I got something more compact. It also solves all problems with state ping-pong I had due to 3H connectivity issues.

Added automation:

Recognizes open door and window and pauses/resumes purifier (wont turn on purifier while they are open)
Recognizes presence, stops purifier after leaving and wont start until returning home
Clean before returning home, based on time of a day and presence
Follows day and night hours
Faster reaction to PM changes, and even faster with external PM sensor

You may remove all time_pattern triggers if your purifier wifi is reliable.

Hi @Tomaae. Nice work and I have added it on the top of this topic. Indeed, calling a service instead of “double” automation (input to and from the purifier) could be very useful to avoid ping pong. Some of the automations are really interesting like silence during the night hours and off/on when a window is open. Also the work on graphical interface.
I am having some additional ideas and will try to add my input on your work on the next days. Could you also post a picture with favorite level selection?

Tomaae · December 1, 2020, 7:44pm

Oh yeah, I forgot to add notes about extra automation I have.
I want to expand on them too. Like changing favorite level when enabling fav mode, instead of just time based and maybe reworking whole time based model to “above/bellow” triggers.
I’m also integrating separate PM sensor based on ESPHOME and pms7003 which will be located further away from my purifier so I can have it work more effectively. It is also far more responsive compared to build in one.

Favorite level selection is the same as yours, I have not yet found a way to integrate it into picture elements.

schilea · December 1, 2020, 8:03pm

I have integrated a simplified version of yours to test functionalities. Indeed calling the service is better than “double” automation.

but I am now thinking on something a little bit different to present also the aqi colored. I have pictures ready but let see when I am going to have time to integrate them

Tomaae · December 1, 2020, 8:22pm

Oh yes, using services works reliably. Before I switched to services, I had previous settings return back about 80% of the time. But that could be issue with 3H and its unreliable wifi.
Using color for AQI is nice, I just used it to indicate on/off status. Its really simple to implement tho, if you want to use it in that way.
But if you use image so large, there may not be space for status text and control buttons without having it feel crowded.

schilea · December 1, 2020, 11:17pm

Hi, I figured out how to add favorite and fun as conditional.
This is still working progress to add aqi colors, humidity and temperature like on purifier display.

        value_template: >
           {% if state_attr('fan.mi_air_purifier_3h', 'favorite_level') == None %}
            {{ 0 }}
           {%- else -%}

Tomaae · December 2, 2020, 12:01am

Oh, thats a great idea, I will try it out too. Hopefully 3H will play nicely with it.
I have also implemented all those automation changes I mentioned. Its really smooth now and very fast. Specially with external sensor.
I have added code for that one too, but thats WIP as I want to add more sensors there. That wont have any effect on purifier tho.

PS: is new sensor really needed? cant it be handled by input_number.mi_air_purifier_favorite_level?

schilea · December 2, 2020, 12:22am

Haven’t figured out how to display the favourite value using input number as integer and not decimal like 4.0, 7.0. I was tried this also initially. So that was the ideea it came to me in order to display integer values.

Tomaae · December 2, 2020, 4:28am

I have tried to implement this, but it does not work well. If you want to increase by more then one at time, it will just rubberband to increase by 1. Not sure if we will be able to fix this, its probably limited by integration itself.

schilea · December 2, 2020, 7:47am

It is not working to increase by more than once at the time. Called services are increment and decrement number. If you want to increment more you have to integrate the slider in picture and then call set value. I haven’t figured out how to do this that’s why decided for baby steps.

bjorn.sivertsen · December 2, 2020, 11:38am

Great work @Tomaae & @schilea!

I have an idea for an automation:

Sometimes my girlfriend likes to increase the fan speed to fully clean the room before heading to bed at various hours.

Now the automatic adjustment will decrease the fan speed due to PM 2.5 after a short time.

Could it be an idea to add a condition that only changes the speed, if there hasn’t been user input for the last 10 minutes etc?

Tomaae · December 2, 2020, 1:39pm

Hi,
It will only adjust in favorite mode or when turned off. If you select any other mode, it wont be adjusted at all.

That is actually why I build my own PM sensor, so I can place it on other side of the room and get more accurate readings for automation.

schilea · December 2, 2020, 7:07pm

Tomaae · December 2, 2020, 7:57pm

Looks really nice. Left side feels bit empty, but that easily solvable. Probably just putting text “Purifier” between off and menu buttons would do it. But that can be experimented with later.
I would also try different background, since pure white is too similar to color of the purifier itself. Thats why I picked one with bit yellowish background. It makes it “pop out” more and is easier on eyes. But thats just pure visual thing.

schilea · December 2, 2020, 8:17pm

Hi, I am also thinking on title, but picture-entity is adding it on top and I am not really like this. so it should be added as an object.

Screenshot 2020-12-02 221310

I personally prefer bright themes, as having the default one in Assistant, but as you said, it is just a matter of preference. The baseline white can be easily replace in any picture editor app.

Regarding the open space, I reserved it for some additional switches like child lock or display brightness as there were some requests in the past.
