I havent been able to integrate the socket with HA; but have managed to get the token working - which is of no use as of now 
I think your problem is that your are using b'token instead of just token
Yes, if I eliminate the " b’ " and the " ’ " from the token - I get the same error as you. Connection timed out.
I’ve got some success with the miio platform
It also offers CLI to manage devices. I’m thinking of heading down the path of using this only for the switch.
I’m holding back as it seems like a bit of an overkill to install node.js on the pi to just switch on/off a switch with HA.
In which way did you succeed? Did you just install the miio-component as described?
Well I assume this repo isn’t maintained anymore? Currently I’m stuck with the error
Cannot import name ‘device’
I’ve opened an issue at his GitHub-repo… Just in case.
For now I’ve to schedule my plug with the Xiaomi-App. But maybe someday someone with more knowledge of python than me (which shouldn’t be difficult :-D) integrates this thing into HA.
@eiolos @maunsen @FletchNZ @seesopento
If anyone of you is still interested: it works now for me. I did the following (assuming you have the token and the device’s IP).
- Where to put the files:
custom_components/switch/xiaomi.py --> /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/custom_components/switch/xiaomiplug.py (I had to rename it - because of my integration of the Gateway)
I put the folder “xiaomi” under:
/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/
And after adding the following to my configuration.yaml I got it working (remember to change the platform according to the name of the file you put under custom_components:
switch:
- platform: xiaomiplug
host: 192.168.0.81
name: Kaffeemaschine
token: 8735e7bd8f10b45ea6708ba89c1a4f7b
If there’re any questions just ask. I’ll try my best.

No. I put the xiaomi.py under my /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/custom_components and the folder (!) xiaomi under /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/ (ie. one level above the custom_components-folder
Didn’t see that too excited 
Awesome!!! Works for me too.

Great news! Glad it works for you too! 
Any ideas as to why I get this error please ?

Awesome 
Works for me！！
@xavV I can confirm I have the same issue with my setup.
Get the same error when I add more than 1 wifi plug.

Please help hass newbie: How can I get the temperature and humidity measurements in the hass using this library?
You can use this one for the temp sensors https://community.home-assistant.io/t/beta-xiaomi-gateway-integration
Do you mean - using other library? This one claims sensors support and has some related code.
yep I use that one for my temp sensors!
How do you get the token from a wifi plug?
After installing construct, I’m getting

Tried to install cryptography in the same way, but without luck.
I’m running Hassbian on a RPI3.
Edit:
sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
That did the trick.
