Xiaomi Gateway Integration

Third party integrations

There seems to be a fork of mirobo thats meant for other devices. Its called miio https://github.com/SchumyHao/python-miio/commits/master

2672

Has anyone updated to latest version of xiaomi home iOS app?

The patch notes are a little worrying in their mention of problems accessing devices and needing to change location:

2673

I have 2 Xiaomi Sensor with Lux and 1 older without lux. I am struggling with them and automation’s. They work well when they work, but I think they must have some sort of long time out? maybe more than 10 minutes?

I can trigger the motion, light on. several minutes later the sensor reports off to HA. So I go to trigger it again and nothing, stays as OFF, but check the log in the Xiaomi app and it has been triggered.

Is there some sort of setting I need to set to allow the Xiaomi gateway to speak to HA more regularly please?

2674

The fork is outdated. The source repository (python-mirobo) is well maintained and the count of supported devices is growing.

2675

It looks like your wireless connection (AP ↔ xiaomi gateway) is flaky. The “there is motion”-event is a multicast/udp broadcast. If the event gets lost there is no way for a recovery at the moment.

maybe now we can change server?

2677

iOS went ahead and updated the Xiaomi for me.
Thankfully it didnt break anything that I can see.

2678

you still using mainland china server? I mean maybe now we can use other servers and it will still work with HASS … maybe

2679

Yes still using china server. I didnt try changing.

2680

Let me just weigh in here. I’ve been using the Singapore (I think) servers since I got my hub. The china server was not responding most of the time and having significant delays. I presume the reason is the Great Chinese FireWall.

I used DNS hijacking to direct my traffic to a server that was shown to not be located in china. I.e. I think it doesn’t matter which server you are using - all I’ve tried support the gateway.

2681

In the past the integration in HASS was working (I think becasue of the edveloper mode availability, but I am not 100% sure was that) only if the server was mainland china.

Maybe now this has changed

First of all, thank you all for this great works.

I have the new Aquara Wireless Switch (the squared ones) they works well with HA but the long press is not detected, only single and double click. Is is a bug related to my setup or a general problem ?

2683

The new square Aqara wireless switch only has 2 modes which is single click and double click. There is nothing wrong anywhere.

2684

I am getting the following error when I add an additional gateway to my setup:

2017-08-07 21:14:54 ERROR (Thread-2) [PyXiaomiGateway] Not a device

Here’s my config:

xiaomi:
 gateways:
   - mac: 286xxxxxabd8
     key: 6B6xxxxxxxxxxxx43E4
   - mac: 34ce0xxxxx20
     key: 4AF6473xxxxxAx4774

Checked and double-checked the mac id. Running 0.50.2

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Tom

…and just to answer my own question :grin:, I needed to update the firmware on my new gateway. Both working fine now.

Thank you for taking time to answer. It sounds weird that Xiaomi has launched new hardware with less possibilities… but ok … Maybe in a next firmware update…

Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this…

I am trying to use the Load power from my Zigbee plug, but cannot get it to work. Is this the right way:

trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: switch.plug_158dXXXXXXXXXX
    value_template: '{{ state.attributes.Load_power }}'
    above: 3

Can you try this instead?

trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: switch.plug_158dXXXXXXXXXX
    value_template: '{{ state.attributes.load_power }}'
    above: 3
