I fumbled along last night and got the xiaomi temp/humidty sensors working just fine. Even logging and dispalying on influxdb/grafana is working perfect.
I have 2 requests which I can’t figure if its possible
To get battery life or status out of each sensor
If the sensor stops communicating ie out of range or battery or plain dead, there seems to be no indication, just last reading, can anything be done using the xiamo protocol to highlight a dropped sensor
oh make a group and it will not be at the top in a circle. I still get the regular circle, this will just add another one that says open/closed rather than the man image that is still/running.
Sorry but I am involved in several open source projects including being a team member of one and a forum moderator on another, and frankly the passage I quoted above does sound a little demanding. Please remember these projects are written and supported by volunteers who give their time voluntarily and frankly owe users nothing. I don’t want to fall out, but a bit of understanding and patience goes a long way, as does self help.
I was responding to your comment that you couldn’t get a group to work, Ben covers that well. Once you get your component into a group it will appear as you want, not as a badge at the top.
however, I have 1 smart plug, which I understand is supposed to act as a repeater, but on tests it doesn’t seem to do so. also nothing in setup jumps out, I’m presuming the zigbee repeating functionality just er works ?
I cannot upgrade my gateway too. The flashing yellow light stops after reaching 70% and then flashing blue light for few seconds. After a quite awhile it back to upgrade window.
Can you share how you manage to upgrade yours?
