I’m having issues with the Xiaomi integration and can’t get it to work. It’s like a puzzle with missing pieces, very frustrating. I found bits and pieces of info everywhere but nothing is working.
I have the Xiaomi Universal Remote v2 (chuangmi.remote.v2) and would like to integrate it into HA (2020.12.1). Since I don’t use the Xiaomi Gateway I understood I can configure it directly in the configuration.yml (because the xiaomi_miio integration is part of the HA core, correct?).
This is my config entry:
remote:
- platform: xiaomi_miio
host: 192.168.3.121
token: <12 digit code extracted with py script and exe>
When I go to Developer Tools > Services and pick the “remote.learn_command” service, putting in remote.xiaomi_miio (I assume that entity name is generated from the configuration.yaml entry by HA? I saw examples like that in another post.) and then I call the service. The LED on the remote doesn’t seem to flicker and when I push a button on my TV remote aimed at the Xiaomi, nothing seems to happen.
I then check the ‘Overview’ section (Lovelace) but there’s no notification.
In the HA Configuration > Logs I find this:
Logger: homeassistant.components.xiaomi_miio.remote
Source: components/xiaomi_miio/remote.py:86
Integration: Xiaomi Miio (documentation, [issues](https : // github. com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22integration%3A+xiaomi_miio%22))

Device unavailable or token incorrect: Unable to discover the device 192.168.3.121
The IP of the Universal Remote is definitely correct and I can ping it and I got the token from the extractor tool/script.
Does anyone have a complete guide or can help how to fix this?
The Universal Remote is found by my iOS app and the only Xiaomi device I have (I read you could have issues with the token if multiple devices exist).
