Xiaomi Air Purifier - Show all sensors and Switches in UI and HomeKit

[monotonus]

Does anybody have an idea how to realize some kind of “scan_interval” for the template sensors or the integration itself? I don’t need the chatty 30 seconds updates in my database. So of course I could delete the template sensors not really needed (e.g. fan speed), but the main integration will update itself every 30 seconds and I assume that the attributes are also recorded and saved in the the database all the time?

Edit: Okay that was too obvious. Just add scan_interval to the configuration.yaml. It works, even it’s not documented.

does anybody know if version 3 / 3h is supported?

[Neofitos (sergey)]

@sobczynski in your config and auto, appear 2 errors in HA 0.105.4

Invalid option: auto (possible options: Auto, Silent, Favorite)

and

Error rendering data template: UndefinedError: 'input_number' is undefined

how too solved

[kouny]

I’m not sure how to solve it, but I had already noticed that the Xiaomi purifier has a small issue: it provides status as lowercase (auto, silent, favourite), but accepts status setting using capitals (Auto, Silent, Favorite).

This way when the automations compare the value seti in Lovelace with the value reported from Xiaomi, the two don’t match perfectly due to capitalization.

Or at least this was what I got from the error logs, then I temporarily abandoned the issue because I don’t change settings from Lovelace anyway, but I know they one day I’ll have to find out how to solve the issue.

Other issue, i put the auto of OP, but the Airpurifier not turn OFF !! eny idea?

[krskrab]

model: zhimi.airpurifier.v7
Home Assistant 0.105.5

[Jokerigno]

same here.

Invalid option: auto (possible options: Auto, Silent, Favorite)

The config is the following:

input_select:
  # Xiaomi Air Purifier 2S
  xiaomi_airpurifier_mode:
    name: Modalità
    options:
      - Auto
      - Silent
      - Favorite
    icon: "mdi:animation-outline"

Any hint?

[kouny]

I asked in a new thread. How to compare values differing for upper/lower case?

[kouny]

I won’t have access to my server for a while, but try this: stop HA, go to the folder where HA is installed, look for the components subfolder, then for xiaomi_miio, then edit the file fan.py.

In that file look for the text “Silent” (it appears only in few lines) and replace all occurrences of the uppercase Auto, Silent, Favourite with the lowercase equivalents.

Start HA and see if the fan still works and accept the new statuses. The automations should be adapted to also have everything lowercase.

If it works, the Xiaomi component should be updated. If not, the component needs to implement a case conversion.

[kouny]

Forget my suggestion.

The thread linked provided the solution.
Alternative solution: Capitalize()

Capitalize() function missing?

I’m trying to capitalize some strings that I get via a scrap sensor. Looking at the Jinja2 ref guide I see the capitalize() function but that’s not recognised in HA. Anybody aware of a workaround?

[Jokerigno]

Sorry but just to be sure.

So this

  speed: '{{ states.input_select.xiaomi_airpurifier_mode.state }}'

will become this

  speed: '{{ states.input_select.xiaomi_airpurifier_mode.state | capitalize }}'

and so on. Right?

[kouny]

@Jokerigno

{{ states.input_select.xiaomi_airpurifier_mode.state | capitalize }}

That syntax is deprecated as far as I know. You should use “state_attr()”

This is mine:

  alias: 'Air Purifier: mode changed to UI'
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: fan.air_purifier_living_room
  condition:
    condition: and
    conditions:
    - condition: template
      value_template: '{{ (state_attr(''fan.air_purifier_living_room'', ''mode'') | string | capitalize) 
        != (states(''input_select.air_purifier_living_room_mode'') | string)
        }}'
  action:
  - service: input_select.select_option
    entity_id: input_select.air_purifier_living_room_mode
    data_template:
      option: '{{ state_attr(''fan.air_purifier_living_room'', ''mode'') | capitalize }}'

The " | string " may not be necessary

[HNG (Hany George)]

Hey guys, i have 2 purifiers a 2s and a pro. I cannot get both of them to work at the same time, if only 1 is added it works, the moment i define the second one, the first goes offline.

i define each as a separate entity, do i need to use

fan:
fans:
purifier1:
purifier2:

?

[sahansen (Stig)]

Hi,

Write it like this:

fan:
 - platform: xiaomi_miio
    name: Air Purifier 1
    host: Your IP
    token: Your token
  - platform: xiaomi_miio
    name: Air Purifier 2
    host: Your IP
    token: Your token

[MickL (Mick)]

Hey guys! Sorry I didnt receive any mails for this post. They made breaking changes so the names of the services have changed and some buttons were no more working. I updated my initial post so now everythings works again!

What never worked for me is the “Fan speed”. When rebooting hass.io it shows the current value but then never gets updated. Someone has an idea for that?

[MickL (Mick)]

Yes you can have more than one. I have two. Unfortunately you have to duplicate the configuration but set a different name. I tried to keep mine organized by making comments with #.

For example my configuration.yaml.

fan:
  # Xiaomi Air Purifier 2S (bedroom)
  - platform: xiaomi_miio
    host: 192.168.178.101
    token: d40e9fc6e92a34cdd92aad38c90b2ed6
    name: "Air Purifier 2S (bedroom)"
  # Xiaomi Air Purifier 2S (living room)
  - platform: xiaomi_miio
    host: 192.168.178.102
    token: 46bd5a3951a607d21710a10e1b47c86b
    name: "Air Purifier 2S (living room)"

And then my devices are named fan.air_purifier_2s_bedroom and fan.air_purifier_2s_living_room. You can find the names developer tools -> entity autocomplete.

Maybe I did something wrong, but when I start the application, the favorite mode’s slider is set to 0 (initial: 0) despite of checking the actual value. Is it possible to query its setting and start with that one?

[MickL (Mick)]

That are the two things I didnt figure out yet:

1. On restart the favorite level is not being set
2. The fan speed is only set once after restart, but never updated

[Andras]

1. Is there an interest from your side to read the actual value at start and set the slider to that value? Or is there a difficulty to do this?
2. I can’t fully agree with you. For me it is continuously updated, although it is a bit slow. It takes 20-30 seconds to update, but when I move the slider, the fan speed indicator follows the reality. So I think it is ok (or I misunderstood something).
