I’ve just spent many many hours on my first set up of HomeAssistant so apologies if I don’t make sense my eyes haven’t blinked for 8 hours haha. Thanks to your guide I managed to get HomeAssistant showing my Xiaomi Air Purifier 3H Temperature readout which is fantastic, however my goal is now to get that temperature read out into both Google Assistant and HomeKit so I can ask Google or Siri “Hey what’s the temperature in the living room?”
Would you have any advice on how to best achieve these because everything I’ve tried has failed. I’m pretty green to all this mind you.
@Skaven and @Delicon
As the error notes, you didn’t have set the off status in your configuration for Homekit.
The documentation (linked in Skavens post as documentation) says:
All fans that support speed and speed_list through value mapping: speed_list is assumed to contain values in ascending order. The numeric ranges of HomeKit map to a corresponding entry of speed_list . The first entry of speed_list should be equivalent to off to match HomeKit’s concept of fan speeds. (Example: speed_list = [ off , low , high ]; off → <= 33 ; low → between 33 and 66 ; high → > 66 )
How do you configure Homekit? You must have enabled that somewhere (in your yaml-configuration or as an integration).
As far as I can see, you need to setup the integration via yaml, and there you put in the specific values according to the documentation. I’m sorry, I don’t use Apple products, so can’t give the exact example.
but I received error: This entity (“filter_vazduha”) does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI. See the documentation for more detail.
I don’t want a unique ID, but I received that error. I have pasted the rest of the code and that’s not working for me because of the same error I have received for sensors and other parts.
So I’ve managed to get the token and add my Purifier 2S to Home Assistant, but it doesn’t seem to be functioning properly. I can’t adjust the speed of the fan or get any temperature or humidity readouts. I can turn it on/off and change the mode I’m in, but the mode change works with a slider and not really properly. For example, 1% on the slider turns the purifier to Auto, 50% to sleep and 100% to user favorite. Anyone else running into this issue?
Edit: still can’t set the speed for favorite mode and can’t disable the LED but that’s not super important. If anyone knows how to fix it though it would be appreciated. I’m basically getting this error:
“Failed to call service switch/turn_on. Unable to find service xiaomi_miio.fan_set_led_on”
and
" Error while executing automation automation.air_purifier_favorite_level_change: Unable to find service xiaomi_miio.fan_set_favorite_level"
“Air Purifier favorite level change: Error executing script. Service not found for call_service at pos 1: Unable to find service xiaomi_miio.fan_set_favorite_level”
I’m using your addition successfully in my configuration of the Air Purifier Pro (I can change volume successfully). Unfortunately, the core log file is showing lots of these entries (every 30 seconds):

Any idea what might be the reason, and how to get rid of it?
Latest HA version 2021.4.0 has introduced a brand new UI configuration for Xiaomi Fan platform.
My model is a Xiaomi Air Purifier 2H but the new UI interface is not able to identify it.
So I’ve chosen from the UI drop down menu the v2 version.
Home Assistant recognized it as fan.zhimi_airpurifier_v2 and apparently it works.
Do you think another model could be more appropriate?
Second question.
I’ve re-configured all the sensors, switches, input_select and input_number according to the new entity name ( fan.zhimi_airpurifier_v2 ) and I can see all of them.
What about the automations ( purifier_mode_change; purifier_mode_changed and so on )?
May I delete them?
zhimi.airpurifier.mb3 is the Air Purifier 3H (2019) model.
Is it right?
I mean … is this your model?
HA recognized it as zhimi.airpurifier.mb3 also with the previous release?
