Struggling to add a Xiaomi S5 Max to home assistant

1

Hi,

So I have had my S5 running for several years, and I decided to get a new one so that I can have one on each floor.

So I bought a new S5 Max, after some hazzle I managed to get the token using an old version of the xiaomi app using bluestacks on windows. However it just wont connect.

In my HA config I have:
'vacuum:

  • platform: xiaomi_miio

    name: s5

    host: 192.168.1.2x

    token: !secret xiaomi_vacuum

  • platform: xiaomi_miio

    name: s5max

    host: 192.168.1.2xx

    token: !secret xiaomi_vacuums5max’

In my HA log I get: Update of vacuum.s5max is taking over 10 seconds

Is there a known issue with S5 max?
