Yeah, I see it basically does what the ESP32 does.
This would have been of interest if it had a LAN port as well, really a shame that Xiaomi never uses wired LAN for anything…their cameras are also well-priced, but WiFi-only.
ESP32 is great, but when you get power supply and box, and assemble it, price difference is negligible.
This Xiaomi looks ok and if it is going to be “plug and play” it would make more sense to me than building ESP32.
Wouldn’t a simple CC2531 stick connected to RPI (running HA) do exactly the same? Also, it would allow to control variety of other devices, philips, ikea. Moreover, you are not stuck with what data goes to china servers (or any other servers for that matter)
Are you an fccid for this device?
You have to excuse me, I have no idea what you mean.
As for accessing the pins to flash, that’s the idea, but I don’t know how to get a usb, from the pins to flash with esphome, or in any case the components I need to make the flash. If anyone knows of a good guide for it, I will keep trying to disassemble the case. At the moment I cannot find a way without breaking anything.
Hello,
I have a bluetooth gateway “ClearGrass CGSPR1 - Qingping Bluetooth Gateway” and I can’t reconnect it to my home network (I’m using a router: Compal Connect Box from UPC). When I first connected to my home network via the “Mi Home” application, everything worked fine and the gate was added without any problems. However, after a while in the “Mi Home” application it was inactive (gray). I decided to remove it from the “Mi Home” application and add it again. When I try to add again, only the first two steps are performed correctly, but the last point “Connecting device to network …” shows an error. I have tried several times and I get the same error every time. I tried to add this gateway by connecting my phone to a HotSpot made on another phone and it worked. However, trying to connect again while I was connected to my home Wi-Fi network resulted in the same error every time. On my router I only set up the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, turned off the firewall, changed the network name and password to simple but that did not solve the problem. I returned to the original configuration of the router, where the gateway connected only the first time. Can You help me ?
