in my experience I had never problems with flooding, but had problems with leakage which is arbitrarily (broken pipes inside walls) . Just asking others experience: bathtub, washer, kitchen sink??

3122

I add follow code in configuration.yaml
xiaomi:
gateways:
discovery_retry: 10
- mac: 34967255e659
key: BB95B933946D411E

then i reboot home assistant,ti shows “invalid config”.
where is the mistake?

3123

Have you tried hass --script check_config ?
And read this https://home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/troubleshooting/

Hey there,

I am having trouble with my Aqara. It suddenly goes offline (according to MiHome app) but remains connected (locally) via homeassistant. This has happened twice and the only remedy was a full hard reset.

Is anyone facing the same problem?

Thanks

Hello folks! With Home Assistant 0.54 the xiaomi component is renamed to xiaomi_aqara. It’s a breaking change! After the update of your installation you have to update the configuration.yaml:

xiaomi_aqara:
  gateways:
   - mac:
     key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

We are trying to differentiate between Zigbee devices (aqara) and WiFi devices (miio) cleanly.

the result of check config is“Valid!”
but when it restart，it shows on the states page：
Invalid Config
The following components and platforms could not be set up:
xiaomi
Please check your config

3127

Try

hass --script check_confi -c PATH_TO_YOUR_CONFIG

Try also to enable logging for xiaomi component and check the log.

Hi all,

I’m using 2 xiaomi gateways with door sensors for security purpose. Is there an hardware hack to add a backup battery to the gateway (in case of power outage)? I was thinking somenthing like a power bank (so 5V 2A) and not a whole UPS. Thanks

I thought about that too

Hi there,

Just wanted to ask. Do the two GWs create a larger zigbee mesh or they communicate via WiFi. If it is via WiFi do they talk over the local network?

Does anybody know for sure?

Thanks a lot

Hi ktsi,

I think each GW has is zigbee network and the two GWs comunicate by WiFi.
In fact:

  • in the “Xiaomi Home App” I had to add some sub-devices to one GW and other sub-devices to the second GW;
  • if I unplug from power one of the GWs I loose control only on the sub-devices linked to that GW.

Hi,

Will it work if there is no internet? Can you test?
I wish the Aqaba hub had an Ethernet port.

Thanks

3134

Yes it will. I block my gw from the internet

3135

How do you do that? Parental controls on the router? Firewall? What ports do you kill?

Thanks

I have a device called a fingbox that can do this, but there a lots of ways to do - such as you mentioned

3137

I have duplicated zigbee component detected, they switch randomly over time.
Is that a way, I can clean it up?

I.e.:
switch.plug_158d000156faa
switch.plug_158d000156fbaa_2

After upgrade to 0.54, I am seeing very inconsistent results with my switches, gateway and cube - sometime actions work - sometimes not (mostly not) - here’s what I am seeing in the log:

The key I have configured is valid and has not changed. As mentioned above, it must be valid because sometimes my automations do trigger.

Here’s my config:

xiaomi_aqara:
# xiaomi:
 gateways:
   - mac: 286c0xxxxxd8
     key: 63B2DF8xxxxx40C9
   - mac: 34cxxxxx5720
     key: 6E98BxxxxxB94F18

Any ideas?

Hi @zajnic

I have reported this here and got some explanation.

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/xiaomi-gateway-switch-plug--random-rename/

unfortuantely I have been busy lately and did not get around to open an issue.
Hopefully I can do it today. Sorry

3141

Did you update your configuration from “xiaomi:” to “xiaomi_aqara:”?
