Python Error in miio - Xiaomi Air Purifier 2

Hi,
I had set up a Xiaomi Air Purifier as a fan on xiaomi_miio according to instructions at: https://home-assistant.io/components/fan.xiaomi_miio/ set the token up too…

Getting the error xiaomi_miio: Error on device update!

More Info:

Running HASS ver. 0.62.0

Any help appreciated

if you suspect its the latest hass version, then simply downgrade and see if it works for you :wink:

HASS 62.1 has the same problem. worked fine with 61.1 (just updated) Almost same error for vacuum.

This has only been fixed for now in the git version of python-miio (https://github.com/rytilahti/python-miio/pull/192), for the time being you can manually downgrade construct package to version 2.9.22 (pip install construct==2.9.22) or wait until a fixed version gets released later on.

Solution given by syssi at GitHub in response to the issue I filed

Please update python-miio to the current master:

su - homeassistant
source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
pip3 install -U https://github.com/rytilahti/python-miio/archive/master.zip

I tried both installing construct in v2.8.22 (2.9.22 not found), and installing python-miio from master, but still get the same error.

root@blop:/# pip show construct
Name: construct
Version: 2.8.22

What other solution can I try?

After installing python-mioo from master, it still shows version 0.3.4, is that the expected result?

root@blop:/# pip3 show python-miio
Name: python-miio
Version: 0.3.4

The version information is correct as there has been no 0.3.5 yet, you will require a newer (>2.9.23) version of construct to use with the master branch.

I also tried with construct 2.9.27 and python-miio 0.3.5, still getting the same error.

I also manually applied the change from https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/commit/137933a774625ef901904f14335dca6eb957915d, didn’t help.

Same problem here, 2.9.27 and installed the linked master.zip without error, still have this error for fan and vacuum:

You will also need version 0.3.5 of python-miio, as you can see there’s no such line anymore: https://github.com/rytilahti/python-miio/blob/0.3.5/miio/device.py#L221 for that release (nor for master anymore, for 9 days now).

Looks like home assistant is downgrading python-miio to 0.3.4 on start.

Updating homeassistant to current dev version works 0.63.0.dev0 because it uses python-miio 0.3.5.

Also, there was a problem with Xiaomi smartmi fresh air (similar to Purifier 2 / Pro) after upgrading to 0.80

At 0.79 it worked like zhimi.airpurifier.v6, now it gives an error:

update python-mio to the current master did not help: (

pip3 install -U https://github.com/rytilahti/python-miio/archive/master.zip
