Xiaomi mi wifi plug & air purifier

teprrr · July 25, 2017, 7:47pm

One more question from my side, is it discoverable through mDNS (does avahi-browse -a , avahi-browse -ar to see the IPs) too?

syssi · July 25, 2017, 7:52pm

$ avahi-browse -ar
...
+  wlan0 IPv4 lumi-gateway-v3_miio522xxxxx                  _miio._udp           local
...
=  wlan0 IPv4 lumi-gateway-v3_miio522xxxxx                  _miio._udp           local
   hostname = [lumi-gateway-v3_miio522xxxxx.local]
   address = [192.168.130.xxx]
   port = [54321]
   txt = ["mac=286c07xxxxxx" "epoch=1"]
...

You are right. We can discover the gateway by netdisco.

teprrr · July 25, 2017, 7:55pm

Yeah, I thought it was done already, does not really help with detecting those devices not used through the gateway, where the output from the discovery could be useful

syssi · July 25, 2017, 8:03pm

I’m sorry. I mixed up the two threads I’m following. Please ignore my post. The Xiaomi Gateway + sub devices aren’t comparable with WiFi plugs / strips and the vacuum clean IMHO. The discovery is different.

syssi · July 25, 2017, 8:53pm

Can you or somebody else provide the response of

miio --control 192.168.x.y --method get_prop --params "['power', 'aqi', 'humidity', 'temp_dec', 'mode', 'led', 'led_b', 'buzzer', 'child_lock', 'limit_hum', 'trans_level', 'bright', 'favorite_level', 'filter1_life', 'act_det', 'f1_hour_used', 'use_time', 'motor1_speed']"

Please specify the version/type of your device also.

The result is like below.
Be careful for the single and double quotation

Thanks a lot! Can you provide the model name and devtype (see above) of your device?

syssi · July 27, 2017, 6:48am

Can you verify the output a second time? The get_prop requests 18 properties. Your reponse contains 16 properties. Maybe it’s necessary to split up the request in two parts?

miio --control 192.168.0.15 --method get_prop --params '["power","aqi","humidity","temp_dec","mode","led","led_b","buzzer","child_lock"]')
miio --control 192.168.0.15 --method get_prop --params '["limit_hum","trans_level","bright","favorite_level","filter1_life","act_det","f1_hour_used","use_time","motor1_speed"]')

af950833 · July 27, 2017, 6:54am

Model : Mi Air Pro

I will response the next result after a few hours… I am working now

syssi · July 27, 2017, 7:13am

One more task for tonight: Can you report the supported modes of your Air Purifier Pro?

miio --control 192.168.0.15 --method set_mode --params '["auto"]')
miio --control 192.168.0.15 --method set_mode --params '["silent"]')
miio --control 192.168.0.15 --method set_mode --params '["favorite"]')
miio --control 192.168.0.15 --method set_mode --params '["medium"]')
miio --control 192.168.0.15 --method set_mode --params '["high"]')
miio --control 192.168.0.15 --method set_mode --params '["strong"]')
miio --control 192.168.0.15 --method set_mode --params '["idle"]')

Thanks!

I am using the auto, silent, favorite modes.
I will check the rest modes tonight.

af950833 · July 27, 2017, 2:55pm

It looks that just 3 modes works.

Thanks! The last missing piece of the puzzle is the devtype (a number which will be shown on discovery). May be you have to enable the debug mode first or change the line from _LOGGER.debug to _LOGGER.info or _LOGGER.warning.

_LOGGER.debug("Discovered %s %s with ts: %s" % (self._devtype,
                                                            self._serial,
                                                            self._device_ts))

teprrr · July 29, 2017, 4:34pm

Apparently there were other modes exposed at some point which are not anymore available: https://github.com/aholstenson/miio/issues/13

syssi · July 29, 2017, 9:35pm

I have removed the unsupported modes.

Mukund · July 31, 2017, 12:47am

@syssi is this part of the new Xiaomi component added to HA recently in 0.50

syssi · July 31, 2017, 6:24am

No. The new component is about the xiaomi gateway (zigbee) and sub devices (sensors & actors). The devices (air purifier & wifi plug != zigbee plug) mentioned here are WiFi devices and won’t official supported right now.

ec-blaster · July 31, 2017, 11:41am

@syssi, wouldn’t it make sense (or wouldn’t it be possible) to merge support of both lines of Xiaomi products, Zigbee and non-Zigbee, in a common component? Here we’re talking about air purifier and sockets, but there are others that are only WiFi: IR remote, Vacuum robot, etc…

syssi · July 31, 2017, 12:16pm

Let’s assume both devices (xiaomi gateway and f.e. the air purifier) has nothing in common. Do you still want to merge both lines?
