If this is not the proper place for my post then I can create a new topic.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Please point out the correct thread.
You could take this one Xiaomi gateway not discovered or just create a new one. It will help other users to find a solution without reading the 3000 messages of this thread. 
Hi all,
I’ve noticed a strange behaviour on motions sensors. Sometimes I see that one of my sensor detects a movement even if there’s no one at home.
I remember that some one noticed the same issue and I’ve searched inside this discussion to find it without result.
Can someone please knows if this issue have been solved?
Thank you
Please study this thread for the current state: Xiaomi body sensor gateway maybe wrong motion detection
Please update home assistant if you don’t use the latest version.

Oh thank you!
I upgraded my home assistant. So I think this have been fixed!
I found some more potential devices in the EigenStone app:
I decrypted the 96 character token using this webpage:
Pasted the token I had into the “Input text” and made sure the Function was AES and Mode ECB. For the key I entered “00000000000000000000000000000000” as @syssi wrote. Make sure you change to HEX before you press Decrypt. You will now have the 32 char Token you need for Xiaomi to work!

Thank you all 
Thanks, I was able to install pycrypto manually, but it was not easy. There seems to be a bug in the latest VC installation - I was able to resolve it using help from here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41843266/microsoft-windows-python-3-6-pycrypto-installation-error/41843310#41843310
Still not able to connect to the Xiaomi gateway no matter what I try.
My config is as follows:
xiaomi:
discovery_retry: 5
gateways:
- mac:
key: YG83LTZPNXXXXX (not the real one)No matter how many discovery retries it doesn’t find it.
I’ve tried turning the network communication protocol on and off
Tried multiple keys, in upper and lower
Tried with and without mac address (with and without : separatos).

I am running it on a different subnet to the one my PC is on, but it is fully routed. Does the discovery do a broadcast which would be stopped by the router? The app on my android doesn’t have any problem traversing subnet. I wish there was a way of simply specifying the IP address of the gateway rather than having to search for it!
It will be possible with home assistant 0.54:
@Danielhiversen Thanks I gave it a try and now get:
pip install --use-wheel --no-index --find-links=https://github.com/sfbahr/PyCrypto-Wheels/raw/master/pycrypto-2.6.1-cp35-none-win_amd64.whl pycrypto
Collecting pycrypto
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pycrypto (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for pycrypto
Argh.
Try with pip3 instead of pip
Guys new update from xiaomi appeared on the app.
Gonna try it latter tonight, and post if the bug was fixed. It was a long wait let’s hope it’s fixed!!
thermostat looks very interesting
I have detected that after switching off the gateway light via home assistant, the brightness of this light is set to 0 (checked in MiHome app). Then when you try to switch back on via app or via automation, the light reminds off until you raise the brightness again.
Where should I report this issue?
Thanks
Just dont use mi app. i report that when this thread was <1000 posts long and rave said it is bug. So i stoped using mi home app for gateway light.

I am afraid this is not a possibility 
I am quite new with home assistant and I don’t know how to automation with it. Right now I have automated with the mi home app. Another point us that if I want to switch on the light outside (not connected to wifi) I must use the mi home app because I have never been able to set up the hass to be available outline 
Thanks syssi! I hope it is released soon
