Xiaomi gateway DGNWG02LM. Can any one confirm it works and how?

Configuration

Hey guys,
Yesterday I bought a set of xiaomi sensors with the DGNWG05LM gateway (EU version) . Unfortunately I have not managed to get it to work. Things I ve tried are here.

I have located a set with the DGNWG02LM (chi version I think) in a local shop.

Before I go throw away more money could someone advice me on the following, taking into account that I don’t want to mess with the zigbee2mqtt method right now.

  • Will the DGNWG02LM gateway work out of the box?
  • Do I need to get the key by doing the Chinese mainland app registration? (I already have a vacuum on my GER version of the app and I’d like to have them all together)
  • Will the sensors from the DGNWG05LM be compatible with the new gateway?
  • What should I do with the DGNWG05LM gateway? Should I try to return it and get a second set of the 02 (to have a second operational gateway) or should I keep it and wait for someone to make it work? (are there any hopes there?)

Thanks in advance guys :slight_smile:
And sorry for the new post but I’m in a hurry and the relevant topics are kind of dead.

Hey buddy, thanks for all the info.
I ended up buying a bunch of stuff.
Will test them through the weekend and let you know.

I can confirm that DGNWG02LM gateway can be paired following the instructions (Chinese location, developer and lan mode)

Does anyone know if i can update the firmware of the gateway and maintain usability? :slight_smile:

Did you try to upgrade the firmware ? I’m getting my DGNWG02LM today, not sure if i have to update the firmware first before trying to pair it.

Nope, didn’t dare to :slight_smile:
To be honest i think ill use the app less and less, so the update prompt becomes less annoying :slight_smile:

cool. i dont think im gonna use the mi home app much, just want to integrate the sensors to HA and uninstall the app afterward.
