Binding for Xiaomi wifi plug and power strips - Xiaomi Mi IO Binding

@DaAndy sorry think my text was indeed confusing.
Try with smarthome:send
as with update indeed the binding is not receiving the command

get_prop[“current”]:

Cool, I’ll add those 2 properties than.
What do you see in the screen with those values
e.g. is 36.86 the degree celcius?
is 0.26 the A? = 0.26*230V=59.8W

DaAndy · September 27, 2017, 5:24am

I left it running for some time and the current stayed at “0.29” - the app said between 42 and 44 Watt. At 0.28 the app said 41 Watt.

Dont know what it really counts there

About the temperature:

The room is around 22-23 degree celcius. I guess it is the temperature of the device itself? It raised over time - the strip ran for like 10 Minutes at around 41-44 Watt and had 41.54 at temperature. After that I turned the device off and the temperature started to sink (current was on 0). I will take a look at it this evening again - just a cold start and try the command again

marcel_verpaalen · September 27, 2017, 6:13am

To make it easy… I’ve added the channels for these properties. It is available on the market.

Moellegaard · September 27, 2017, 11:05am

Very nice, most of my xiaomi wifi things are not autodeteced.
What type of thing should I use for the wifi single plug and the 6 plug wifi powerstrip?

marcel_verpaalen · September 27, 2017, 3:18pm

Make it a basic type. Only the strip v2 is in the database right now, so if you see an error message change the ‘Device Model String’ (advanced) configuration to zimi.powerstrip.v2 as you can see in the screenshot.

Let me know the results for the single plug with it’s type and I can make a database file for that one as well.

Moellegaard · September 27, 2017, 4:39pm

Hi Marcel
I’m not compleatly sure of what information you are looking for. I can’t upload screen shots, I don’t know why, but I have the device model string: chuangmi.plug.m1

is that the one you are looking for?

DaAndy · September 27, 2017, 7:55pm

I just downloaded the new version and the Strip is recognized okay.

BUT I do have the problem that the Binding seems to kick out all my Yeelights I used with the dedicated Yeelight Binding… Now I try to restore it - any benefits with kicking out the Yeelight Binding and using yours?

Edit: Dont know what happened - all Yeelights are offline now and I cannot bring them online again. Reboot does not help.

Edit 2: After another reboot and turning on and off the developer mode on some bulbs all are online again with the old binding. What I did was also to replace your new binding-version with a old one I had as backup (23.09.17). I will try that again on the weekend I guess when I have time.

Would be nice to only have one binding for all Xiaomi stuff, but what I saw is that I also need to put in a token for Yeelights? Also I did not see any channels for Color & Color-Temperature.

Moellegaard · September 27, 2017, 8:38pm

The binding also seems to detect the xiaomi wifi repeater 2, it also find the token without any help somehow.
The device subtype is xiaomi.repeater.v2

marcel_verpaalen · September 27, 2017, 8:42pm

Yes, plus if it works for those devices when you send the same commands as for the strip (tested by changing the model string in the config)

Moellegaard · September 27, 2017, 8:47pm

It works with both the chuangmi.plug.m1 and the zimi.powerstrip.v2 sub type

marcel_verpaalen · September 27, 2017, 8:48pm

@DaAndy as long as you don’t add the yeelights as things, the yeelight should not be affected.

I haven’t had the chance to implement yeeligjts fully yet. So if you need all the channels, currently you better use the yeelight binding

marcel_verpaalen · September 28, 2017, 10:13pm

This is added now to the database with same channels as the powerstrip.

Moellegaard · October 1, 2017, 8:53pm

I removed and added the binding today, and it found my xiaomi things automatically, very nice.

It also reconized the power strip and plug antomatically, but Im not getting any current readings from it. REST API is saying the item is NULL when I ask to get the state.

If I can help you in any way tell me

marcel_verpaalen · October 2, 2017, 5:26am

You can try to get these properties

load_voltage
load_power
power_consumed

By going to the command channel and send e.g get_prop[“load_voltage”]

What also helps is to send the plugin apk (from your backup where you got your key, the files with somenumber.apk filename.)
I can than try my emulator for your devices.

Moellegaard · October 2, 2017, 7:30am

Okay, I don’t know how to do that, could you post an example or guide me to more information on this? I really like to use it.

marcel_verpaalen · October 2, 2017, 7:48am

You can enable the command channel by going to paperUI, open your your thing.
Than when you see the list of channels, click on show all, and the enhanced channels can be selected. Enable the command channel (it is a advanced channel, so otherwise invisible)
You can than paste the commands there, wait a bit and the value of the channel will be updated with the response.

(I think in the vacuum thread there are some screenshots as well).

Moellegaard · October 2, 2017, 5:38pm

okay I tried to do it, I added a item for the executing command:

I send the get_prop[“load_voltage”] via REST API:

The result was a bit unexpected.

I think I did something worng :S

marcel_verpaalen · October 2, 2017, 8:30pm

Nope, you did it right…
It means that property is not supported by your device. Can you try the other 2?
