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.

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
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”.
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?
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.

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

Thanks a lot. Did everything but still home assistant cannot see my Aqara gateway. Will have to double check.
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
Please read the first paragraph of: Xiaomi - Home Assistant
And follow this tutorial: Xiaomi Gateway Integration - #1832 by pplucky
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?
Try remove the “:” from mac address.
yesterday I got doorbell sound working and I did not have the ::::
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.
This is the log:

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.
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.
This is perfect. Did you confirm the key?
How do I confirm the key?
First press refresh, the symbol next to the key. Write down the key and press “confirm” the button at the bottom.
