  • Hi,
    thanks for the work with the app.
    Can this control (see picture) be included?
    Many thanks/Tomas

    It's not supported yet by the library used by my Homey app. Since I dont own the device myself I can only wait until someone else supplies the needed information to add this device. If you have any technical skills yourself you can contribute here: https://github.com/aholstenson/miio/issues/67
  • Discovered an issue with the Power Strips: I can't add them as devices in a flow (to turn them on/off), and i can only turn them on/off with the old Homey App on the mobile, with the new (beta) app i can't do anything with them.

    Also, it isn't reporting the on/off status correctly. It says off while it's on, and the other way around.

    Now had some time to add it to flows and play with it further, but i can't really do much at this point. I can turn it on/off in Homekit because i added it there, but that's about it.

    I'll push a small fix to the app store which might solve this. It will require you to re-pair the power strip though.
  • Ok, thanks! I will try it and let you know the results. And that's np. Re-pairing the lights is much worse ;-)
  • Latest version - 2018-03-04 -- v2.6.1

    • CHANGE: updated device class of Mi Power Plug and Mi Power Strip to "socket" (this require re-pairing of these devices)
    • FIX: solved small device naming issue in pair wizard
  • I can add the power strips in a flow now. Tomorrow i will test if it turns on when getting out of my bed (alarm goes off), and when i'm coming home from work. But i have no doubt that will work. Also, the device name is now correct.

    I will test the device status further, but that is not a big issue. When i added it, it said it was turned off while it was on. I will do further testing.
  • great work! the powerplug works perfectly now, 
    only thing im missing now is to assign it a device class, to tell for example it is connected to a light etc...
    (in the xiaomi zigbee app this function is implemented in the zigbee power-plug)

    This functionality is specific for ZigBee and Zwave devices and not available for WiFi devices.

    Would be great if supported. Not much happening on  https://github.com/aholstenson/miio/issues/67 unfortunatedly

    That is something you can pick up, I hardly knew how to program either before I got Homey. ;-)

    Alternative is to send a device to the owner of the miio library so he can integrate it first hand.

    I know ;-) Try to look in to it when i find a moment. Send it to the owner is also possible if that would help the community...
  • Will you add functionality for the xiaomi gateway? the miio library has support for it. Even though we dont need the zigbee functions of it anymore since homey can do it directly, it still has some nice usable functions, like a speaker that can play alarms or doorbells etc, a light, and a luminance sensor...

    Hmmm, good point. I'll look into it. If you know how Github works I'd appreciate it if you could submit an issue in my repo so I won't forget. Currently working on another app.

    Seems to be an issue with the Xiaomi Philips bulbs in general according to the latest message in this github issue: https://github.com/aholstenson/miio/issues/43#issuecomment-371950614

    Can you still operate the devices in the latest Mi Home App?

    A workaround found was to install the previous apk, discover Xiaomi Philips bulb, then upgrade to the new MiHome version. Couldn't add new bulb directly to the new version using discovery, nor is not listed under supported devices, but existing ones can be controlled.


  • Perhaps Xiaomi is dropping support, could also be they just made a mistake. Good to know we have a workaround.

    Hi,  is it possible to add the Xiaomi Short Laser Projector?
    It has android OS and WiFi / ETH connection.  It has an IP Address.

    Edit:  Seems to be the same as Xiaomi Mi TV.  

    There is a way to control over WiFi as i can use the xiaomi universal remote app.  ( Mi remote on Android)

    So is it possible to add this to the Xiamo skill on Homey?

    Looking fwd to your reply

    Thanks in advance.

    This device is not supported by the miio library. You can help to add support here: https://github.com/aholstenson/miio/blob/master/docs/missing-devices.md
  • Latest version - 2018-03-15 -- v2.6.2

    • NEW: add support for the Xiaomi Gateway Light - alarm not supported yet and subdevices are supported directly with the Xiaomi ZigBee app
    • FIX: fix for pairing wizard Philips Light Bulbs
    • FIX: small fix in Yeelights driver
  • great will try the gateway now
  • uhm, sorry for the noob question  re: Xiaomi Gateway V2:
    I want to add the device,
    - where can I find the Token
    -  and what should be the polling frequency

    Read the info in the app store description on how to get the token. Using the default polling frequency of 60 seconds is fine.

    Is Robot Vacuum s50/s51 supported? Some of my actions in a flow successfully executes commands to my robot, but mostly I get "Could not complete call to service". I am able to start cleaning, and I get events when the robot is back in the dock. But I cannot tell it to return to dock for example...

    According to the docs of the miio library (used in my Homey app) the Xiaomi Vacuum Cleaner V2 should be supported as well. But since I dont own that device I cant really test it and support might be flaky indeed. "Could not complete call to service" sounds more like a network issue though. If you know your way around the command line you could do some testing yourself: https://github.com/aholstenson/miio

    No problem, I'll investigate! Thanks!
  • Is it still problem with homey for getting the Smoke Detectors from Xiaomi to work?
