same problem

Wondering if anyone can help me with an issue I’m having with the Xiaomi Arqara wireless wall switch. For the life of me, I can’t get it working since my first few tests.

I have a simple automation set up that whenever the switch is clicked, it should toggle the light on /off. HA registers that there is a wall switch, but doesn’t seem to be able to pick up when the switch is being clicked. I’ve tried manually triggering the event, which toggles the event.

I’m suspicious that it may be the gateway that’s the issue. It’s version 1.4.1_149.0143 with the LAN protocol enabled. Completely stumped to what the issue is.

You hit this firmware issue: Aqara Wireless Switch(Double,not in wall) LEFT button FAILURE · Issue #8935 · home-assistant/core · GitHub

Thanks - I was able to get it from an android device.

Here’s an example of the 32 vs 96 character tokens

4a447a41467058496746505541597033 - android token

syssi · September 11, 2017, 1:17pm

Funny discovery: The last 32 char chunk of the 96 char token is always (for all users) the same: 0143db63ee66b0cdff9f69917680151e

If you AES-ECB encrypt an empty string with an empty password the result is 0143db63ee66b0cdff9f69917680151e.

syssi · September 12, 2017, 6:26am

Yeay! I managed to decrypt the 96 character token:

# AES-ECB decrypt a 96 character iOS token -> valid 32 character token

from Crypto.Cipher import AES
import binascii
keystring = '00000000000000000000000000000000'
iostoken = '16a935db276e19b1c7bef0739f2deb7d3aca43c5e26a3c6445351cb2fb8495ea0143db63ee66b0cdff9f69917680151e'
key = bytes.fromhex(keystring)
cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_ECB)
token = cipher.decrypt(bytes.fromhex(iostoken[:64]))
print(token)
# Output: b'4a447a41467058496746505541597033'

Hi there,

Is that Python code? Does it need the pycrypto library?

Thanks

syssi · September 12, 2017, 11:57am

Yes. pycrypto is a dependency of python-mirobo. If you are using python-mirobo already just switch to your virtualenv, start the python interpreter and write down the 8 lines of code and change the value of “iostoken”.

ktsi · September 12, 2017, 12:01pm

I do not know what python I am using. I installed home-assistant on virtual env following the installation guide. Do I need to install pycrypto?

syssi · September 12, 2017, 12:44pm

Just switch to your home-assistant user (sudo su - homeassistant), enter the virtualenv (source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate), execute python (python) and paste the code.

ktsi · September 12, 2017, 8:09pm

Hi again,

I had to install the pycrypto library before the interpreter could run your code.
What is that “b” at the start of the output string?

Thanks a lot in advance.

syssi · September 12, 2017, 10:07pm

The “b” just indicates a byte-string. The important piece (token) is between the quotation marks.

ktsi · September 13, 2017, 7:26am

Thanks a lot. Did everything but still home assistant cannot see my Aqara gateway. Will have to double check.

syssi · September 13, 2017, 7:29am

I’m sorry. This thread is a mix of various xiaomi products and questions. If you try to setup a xiaomi gateway you need a key and not a token!

The note is important for you: Xiaomi - Home Assistant

I have never ever had the ghost issue since first setting up my Xiaomi stuff. Home Assistant sends me alerts on my iPhone on mouvement when I’m away and I’ve never had a false alarm.

Hello!

im trying to get my Xiaomi GW to work with HA:

I can see it in HA but cannot control it. I have enabled Lan access and saved the password.

This is my config

xiaomi:
gateways:

mac: 00:90:7F:AA:2E:7B
key: C0869E2REE51321R (This is not my real code, just an example)

I see this error in my log:

raise ValueError(“Incorrect AES key length (%d bytes)” % len(key))
ValueError: Incorrect AES key length (0 bytes)

Could that be something?

hijinx · September 13, 2017, 12:27pm

Try remove the “:” from mac address.
yesterday I got doorbell sound working and I did not have the ::::

syssi · September 13, 2017, 12:51pm

There is something wrong with your key. Could you post the full call trace of your home-assistant.log and a proper formatted version of your configuration.yaml? The number of spaces matters. Is your key in upper-case? I hope not.

Daniel_Gronlund · September 13, 2017, 5:26pm

This is the log:

My config:

xiaomi:
  gateways:

     key: c0665e2dee33421d

I can see the controller, and if i manualy turn on the light it turns on in HA. But if I turn it on i HA nothing happends.
Yes it was in upper-case, did change that now. Still dont work

@hijinx I did have : tried too change it now, dident matter.

syssi · September 13, 2017, 5:49pm

Where did you find your key? The key must be alphanumeric and is case-sensitive. It looks like the key is just wrong. Please follow this tutorial.
