Xiaomi Gateway Integration

anon35356645 · January 30, 2017, 11:26am

I frequently have problems related to one device connecting to a network and other device connecting to another ssid.

I have a similar problem with the Hue app on my smartphone and the Hue Bridge.

I did not troubleshoot well, but to me it seems that if the 2 devices are on different WiFi network (even if the DCHP assigns same IP range) you experience problems if the 2 devices need to interact.

Glad it helped. Now you have to find a way that all connects to the same SSID

My bet is that your 2.4GHz and 5GHz are different interfaces. The gateway connects to the 2.4GHz network, but your HASS instance connects to the 5GHz network. Multicast messages don’t pass between the two interfaces.

Some ideas how to fix that - if you have the same network name (SSID) for both networks change one of them so you can differentiate which one is the 5GHz and which one is the 2.4GHz. Make sure your HASS is connected to the 2.4GHz one.

If you use wired connectivity for HASS then what you’re saying doesn’t make much sense and is probably related to your router’s internal way of handling Wi-Fi/Ethernet traffic and passing traffic from one interface to the other.

I’ll merge the code but fyi, I have already separated the main code into pyXiaomi and separating xiaomi device code a week ago with some optimization. I’ll probably need to rewrite some code based on the code you have committed. I’ll not be working on it for another week so feel free so put in more pull request but I’ll probably stop accepting when I start rewriting the component code

Originally, the code for the button were the idea from the flic button code. And since the cube is essentially the same as xiaomi button, so they’re using almost the same code base. Sensor class should work too but but since these are stateless devices, do you think there’s an advantage of moving that over?

Danielhiversen · January 30, 2017, 9:11pm

No, I am not sure that sensor is any better.
And since Flic smart button is a binary sensor, this should probably also be that.

Hello

Having isseus with the Mi Gateway light not working. Here is the log. Any advice? Thanks

Here is what I have tried so far:

added sid to HASS config
changed the password on Mi Home app several times and updated HASS config
turned off/on developer mode on Mi Home app

@asapkota
It seams that you are using an old version of the Xiaomi library. Could you upgrade to the latest one: https://github.com/lazcad/homeassistant

asapkota · January 31, 2017, 1:02pm

Updated to the latest files. Now the component is failing on HASS start.

Seams to be something wrong with your pycrypto lib. Try to reinstall the pycrypto library.

asapkota · January 31, 2017, 1:16pm

That did it. Thank you very much.

anon35356645 · January 31, 2017, 1:21pm

this pycrypto is giving many problems to lot of users … to integrate it in HA, maybe that helps?

anon35356645 · January 31, 2017, 5:49pm

Is it difficult to get power consumption from the plug?

anon35356645 · January 31, 2017, 7:39pm

I installed my second gateway today, but is not recognized in HASS. The first is recognized as usual, the second simply does not exist in HASS (no error in log!!).
What to do?

xiaomi:
  gateways: 
    - sid: F0:B4:.....
      key: s0adr7t03s3q.....
    - sid: 28:6C:.....
      key: zq8etr3gls7.....

anon35356645 · January 31, 2017, 7:56pm

I spoke too early, I do have errors, although not of the second gateway

Could you try with the latest version from https://github.com/lazcad/homeassistant ?

anon35356645 · January 31, 2017, 8:10pm

doing now. The switch component description is wrong (it says binary sensor, minor thing)

anon35356645 · January 31, 2017, 8:12pm

errors also on the first gateway.
This crypto thing, I hate it …

and second gateway also non existant. Could be because second gateway is on other Wifi network?

But the Mi Home app sees both gateways
