I have some Xiaomi smart home units, the product itself is quite good, but the app and the features is limited to Xiaomi units as all other vendors. Therefore it is quite useless as it is without any interface to other vendors.
I would like to have it integrated in Home Assistant.

I completely support emilhetty. I hope that someone will be able to create an integration between Home Assistant and Xiaomi Smart Home suite.
Would love this as well

Ho yes please ! +1
Good to see that so many people are interested in this, it might happen then!
For those who have not seen this yet, Xiaomi just released a very cool item for their smart home series and with it connected to HA it could do endless of things with it.

Would love to see the Xiaomi Smart Home suit being supported on HA
is there any thing that can be done outside of the xiaomi apps? any hackery going on?
I do not think there is any open API to communicate with the Xiaomi Smart home device.
So someone have to hack their system and make an interface, before we can add it to HA

I think Xiaomi has opened their platform for 3rd party developers. I’ve found interesting site https://open.home.mi.com/index.html#/intro. It’s in chinese but there’s some links on Github and it has description of serial communications with wifi module.

Very interesting…
Someone has integrated Xiaomi Yeelight into HA. Hopefully this will open the door for more integration for Xiaomi Smart Home products.
I have found something which might be helpful:

Has anyone manged to get this working? I assume if Homebridge can access it, HomeAssistant should be able to as well?
Did you try it?
What about the homebridge plugin for the Xiaomi aqara gateway… did anybody try that out? Anything we could do with that?

The homebridge plugin looks good, but it cant communicate back to HA.So still searching… 
I’ve got something working as a xiaomi hub to mqtt gateway, the code and process used to make it is available on my note server:

I’m going to make a real project our of it very soon, so integration of home assistant (using mqtt components) is nearly done 
You can already use it like this, even if it’s sketchy.

I’m probably going to write an home assistant plugin for this too by the way. Having a separate server for xiaomi to mqtt maybe isn’t the best way to go.

Xiaomi to MQTT sounds good enough for me. Anyway, thank you in advance.
