Yes - I am using mainland China - seems that the instructions at https://github.com/louisZL/lumi-gateway-local-api/blob/master/device_discover.md don’t match up to what I am seeing in my app.
Thanks,
Tom
sure, will try it! thanks 
It seems the new Aqara motion sensor lowered its price! http://www.gearbest.com/alarm-systems/pp_659226.html
Thank you!! I was missing the tapping of the screen!

Wow everything working (almost!)! The only things not working are the events for the motion sensor and the door/window sensor. The state platform is working perfectly for these sensors.
Code is here:
- alias: Test 3A Motion Sensor Event NOT Working
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: motion_action
event_data:
entity_id: binary_sensor.motion_sensor_158d00015ef4d3
action_type: motion # motion / no_motion
- alias: Test 6 Door Sensor Event NOT Working
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: door_window_action
event_data:
entity_id: binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d00018354bc
action_type: open # open / close / no_close
Any ideas? Thanks to everyone for the great work on this - so cool!

Hi Syssi, I am getting closer… I can almost taste victory! The below is my most recent error logs after trying to implement the plug protocol.
I have the xiaomi folder in /hassbian/homeassistant/
I have teh xiaomiplug.py (renamed xiaomi from switch) in homeassistant/custom_components/ (and also in /switch).
My yaml is as follows:
switch:
- platform: xiaomiplug
host: 10.xx.xxx.xxx
name: Lounge Lamp
token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I tried sudo pip3 install construct, which is now installed but I am still getting the below:
2017-07-12 01:07:39 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.switch] Error while setting up platform xiaomiplug

Any more advice on where I may be going wrong?
Thanks for all the help!
This thread is about the support for the Xiaomi Gateway and Zigbee sensors. For the Wifi plug, I would suggest you post in the thread for that component so that it does not confuse folks in this already long thread. 
The thread for that should be “Xiaomi mi wifi plug & air purifier” Xiaomi mi wifi plug & air purifier.
@skull29 Apologies your quite right! If anyone has stumbled across this… I will post in that conversation and hopefully continue to get closer to a solution.
Hy, I was trying to follow this topic, but stupidly I thought that the AEON Gen5 (Zwave) would also work with the Xiaomi Sensores /ZigBee)… The most basic error 
Now that I learned my lesson the hard way, I would like to have some help with the right gateway to use with HomeAssistant and my Xiaomi sensores.
Thanks
It looks like the events are broken. The door/window sensor never calls bus.fire(). The motion sensor event is incomplete:

The event_type is called “motion” instead of “motion_action” and no action_type is used?! Did I miss something?
This is the xiaomi gateway you are looking for: http://www.gearbest.com/living-appliances/pp_344667.html
Hi all. I believe I am stuck. I have followed all instructions, got the key from the mihome app copied the files to the custom_components dir I even manually installed pycrypto and still cannot get it to work. I get this error from the log file.

my config.yaml looks like this
xiaomi:
gateways:
- sid: 192.168.188.36
key: 6dq8re5kaxi97du5
sorry for the noobness but I can not figure out what I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance guys
The sid is not an IP address, it should be the mac address without semicolon.
Check the instruction above.
If you have only one gateway, you do not even need to put anything for the sid as below.
xiaomi:
gateways:
- sid:
key: 6dq8re5kaxi97du5I bought it, on the way
I’m having issues adding the gateway, added this to my configuration.yaml:
xiaomi:
gateways:
- sid:
key: xxxxxxxxxxxxx
and then when I check config, i get this:
Failed config General Errors: - Component not found: xiaomi - Setup failed for xiaomi: Component not found.
Any ideas?
2 yeelights i have appear on discovery without issue
did you put the xiaomi.py in custom_components in your HA folder?
No,
Is there a default xiaomi.py file somewhere?
Use this one https://github.com/Danielhiversen/homeassistant and place it in here
Download the components folder and place it inside your home automation folder
Then rename components to custom_components and then it should work fine.
