Sensors Connection Method 2 (with Xiaomi Gateway)

You need your Xiaomi gateway along with all the sensors to be connected to the Mi Home app. If you haven't done this yet press + button on the top right corner, find your hub (it must be in connecting mode which is achieved via a long press of the power button) and follow instructions in the app. After you add the gateway, you need to add sensors: press on your gateway, then go to Child device and press +. Find required device and follow the instructions on the screen. For more details refer to the user manual of your Xiaomi Gateway hub.

Add Gateway to Home Assistant

Be sure that you're logged in you raspberry as homeassistant user, if not do the following:

sudo -u homeassistant -H -s

In your Home Assistant:

http://<raspberry_address>:8123

Go to Configuration/Integrations and press Add Intagration. There you need to Find Xiaomi Miio:

integration

Then fill your username (or phone) and password from Mi Home account and choose your country server:

auth

Press Submit and choose your Hub (Aqara Hub in this example):

Press Submit and you will be able to see your gateway in Integrations page.

Add Gateway to Home Assistant using Homekit Controller integration

You can also connect your hub to Aqara Home app on ios and then add it to Home Assistant through Homekit Controller integration.

Add your hub to the app using add device or + button. Right after your hub added to Aqara Home app you will be proposed to bind it with your Homekit account.

When you see a menu like the picture, open your Home Assistant page:

http://<raspberry_address>:8123

Go to Configuration/Integrations. Here you can find your device discovered and click Configure button to add it by Homekit Controller integration. You have to enter pairing code of your device, which you can find on the sticker on your device.

Configuration file

After you've added your devices, you need to add them in a config.config file with their seeds. Firstly in Configuration/Entities tab in your Home Assistant find entity ids of your devices:

entity_id

Open the configuration file:

nano /srv/homeassistant/python_scripts/config.config

And add there information of your devices in the following format:

[device_name]
IDS = ['entity_id1', 'entity_id2']
SEED = word word word

Where device_name is the name of your device (you can choose any name), IDS are entity ids of the data from the device (it may be one or more ids) and SEED is a mnemonic or raw seed from robonomics account to this device.

After you fill the configuration file you need to get access token from Home Assistant. For that open your profile in the lower left corner:

profile

In the end of the page find Long-Lived Access Tokens and press create token. Save it somewhere, you will not be able to see it again.

token

Now run create_config.py script with your token:

cd /srv/homeassistant
source bin/activate
python3 python_scripts/create_config.py --token <access_token>

And restart Home Assistant:

systemctl restart [email protected]

You can add the data from sensors to your homepage like in Home Assistant setup in the description to Method 1.

You can see the data in subscan, find your account and you will see datalog transactions. Data looks like this:

datalog_data

You can decrypt it with script decrypt.py, run it with the data from datalog:

cd /srv/homeassistant/
source bin/activate
python3 python_scripts/decrypt.py <data>
