Hi there,
I´m new in every direction. Nevertheless I managed to buy and install lots of shelly and xiaomi gadgets and get them running on their respective apps. Also I got myself a brand new raspberry 4 with 4GB and managed to get openhab running and the network binding installed, as well as the xiaomi mi smart home binding.
I enabled the developer mode on the xiaomi app (IOS), turned on the access and noted the “password”. I tried to connect the gateway like in this video. However, no thing can be found. I tried manually but with no success.
Eventually I found this thread. I have the xiaomi gateway, not aquara. In the app it says “lumi.gateway.v3”. Next step I´ll try to find out whether port 9898 is open. Although I don´t know how, yet. Any easy description? Additionally I´ll try to find out what the following things mean:
- nmap
- putty
- monkeycom
- UART
- tcpdump
- MQTT
If I find a definition for dummies I´ll share. If there´s is a" how to use", tutorial or something already I appreciate a link.
Meanwhile some questions for you:
- If the port 9898 is closed, is soldering and UART the only solution?
- I thought of a zigbee stick as an alternative. This thread suggests that a zigbee stick with the zigbee binding is not working well. Is this a good alternative to point 1, or not?
- What is zigbee2mqtt? This thread says there is a binding but the addon list does not say so. Is this an alternative and how does it work?
- The gateway cannot reach the sensor in the garage. If I read this right, xiaomi range extention is only possible with another xiaomi device with AC power? Correct?
Thanks so far
