Xiaomi Bindings Loose connection and Item not updated/triggered

marcolino7 · July 7, 2022, 4:12pm

HI,
I am setting up new installation with OpenHab 3.3.0 on Docker. Container have --net=host option, so all port are exposed to network.

I just have a 2.4 installation with all Xiaomi devices working fine since 4 years.
To testing with 3.3.0 I disabled Binding on 2.4.0 and enabled binding on 3.3.0.

Binding go ONLINE for sometime, then it goes offline, and only method to get it back online is to disable and enable the binding.

When Binding is Online, I can scan devices and it found it, I can devices as things, but I added a Switch and it does not trigger the action, but I can read battery level so it ssems that Binding work bu I cannot understan why it goes offline and why do not trigger switch actions.

Any help would be appreciated.

Tried also on a Classid Debian Box with OH 3.3.0 but same result, after some time Xiaomi Bridge goes offline. On OH 2.5.0 still working fine.

bug

I have a Xiaomi gateway v2. I have been using it for my OH 2.5 instance without …any issues. I installed a OH 3.2 instance and started configuring it. I added the Xiaomi binding and adding a V2 gateway in. The Thing seems to be connected ok at first, showing all the connected devices etc, however after 5 minutes or so, it would go to disconnect state. Since I have both OH 2.5 and OH 3.2 instances, I can confirm that the gateway is working as expected with the OH 2.5. A quick search in the community forum shows that others have the same issue, and it can be fixed by adding serialNumber (MAC address of gateway without : or -) in the Thing configuration. ## Expected Behavior It seems like serialNumber is a required field, it should be added as a required field in the add Thing menu. ## Current Behavior When adding gateway, it does not ask for serialNumber. Without it the Thing would go offline after 5 minutes. ## Possible Solution Make serialNumber a required field ## Steps to Reproduce (for Bugs) 1. Add Xiaomi binding in OH 3.2 2. Add Thing -> Xiaomi -> Xiaomi Mi Smart Home Bridge 3. Enter in IP and developer key ## Context Thing don't work properly without entering the serial number ## Your Environment OH 3.2 on docker in Raspberry Pi 4/Zerio

to fix you have to go to Code section of your bridge and manually add serial number:

UID: mihome:bridge:XXXXXXXXXXX
label: Xiaomi Mi Smart Home Bridge
thingTypeUID: mihome:bridge
configuration:
  ipAddress: 192.168.X.XXX
  serialNumber: XXXXXXXXXXX
  port: 9898
  key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

serianNumber is the line you have to add
