:slight_smile: iā€™m here to help :slight_smile:

267

I just released a new version of the xiaomiplug custom component. Please give it a try. It supports multiple devices types now (Xiaomi Plug, Xiaomi Power Strip and the ChuangMi Plug V1):

268

perfectā€¦ now it works againā€¦ the only remaining problem is the measurement different from the appā€¦ also with ampere to watt conversionā€¦

269

Yep. This issue is still not solved. I need more data / measurements to calculate a best fit straight line.

270

iā€™ll try this afternoon to give you datasā€¦

271

ok this are some readingsā€¦

APP (W) - HA(A)

5.5 - 0.1
56 - 0.31
84 - 0.45
305 - 1.42
512 - 2.28
620 - 2.75
921 - 4.17
1700 - 7.68

Thanks! I created a google sheet to collect some more values to get a clue:

Could you provide your mains voltage again? I donā€™t remember anymore.

Everybody can edit/extend the sheet. Please feel free to improve the collection!

220 - 230 volts

274

Could you check something? There must be a voltage reference somewhere. Please provide the output of:

mirobo --ip your-power-strip-ip --token your-token raw_command get_prop '["voltage", "volts", "volt", "v"]'

I ordered a power strip for some experiments. The shipment will take a while (4 weeks).

275

This is my output:

ERROR:mirobo.vacuum_cli:Unable to read the stored msgid: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/python-mirobo.seq'
Sending cmd get_prop with params ['voltage', 'volts', 'volt', 'v']
[None, None, None, None]

FYI: mirobo command line says my powerstrip is unsupported when I try to issue a discover to find out the token:

WARNING:mirobo.discovery:Found unsupported device zimi-powerstrip-v2_miio48702550._miio._udp.local. at 192.168.1.62, please report to developers
276

Thanks for the information. Itā€™s fixed now: Discovery: Device name of the zimi powerstrip v2 fixed by syssi Ā· Pull Request #84 Ā· rytilahti/python-miio Ā· GitHub

277

Itā€™s too bad. Still no data for proper calculationā€¦ I will capture the traffic between power strip and the mi home app if the device arrives. My hope are new and well formed properties.

tell me if i can do anythingā€¦

Hi @syssi.

Iā€™ve been seeing this error appearing in the logs a lot recently. I have 5 devices, all connected to a Ubiquiti AP, so connectivity shouldnā€™t be an issue. No other devices on my network have this same issue. It appears to happen to all
Xiamoi WiFi switches randomly throughout the day.

Any ideas?

The firmware of the xiaomi plugs isnā€™t very stable. Multiple connections arenā€™t possible and the discover doesnā€™t respond to the discovery message always. The connection will be recovered nevertheless on the second attempt. You can ignore the messages as long the control of the device is possible.

iā€™ve tryed sniffing with wireshark the communication with the strip ip addressā€¦ but only mdns message receivedā€¦ can i do anything else?

282

Where did you capture the traffic? Ethernet traffic is switched/routed. mDNS are broadcast messages an can be seen from every device of the network.

283

Youā€™re rightā€¦ There is a way to capture all the datas?

284

I would use tcpdump at the home assistant host.

285

today arrived my zigbee plugā€¦ i need to use custom_component ?
