Xiaomi Control Hub Not Compatible Anymore

marcel_verpaalen · February 9, 2021, 12:45pm

the binding will replace the command with the received response.
Though in the debug log you might see bit more detail (like error codes)

moody_blue · February 9, 2021, 2:36pm

get_device_list[] no answer

get_device_prop[] no answer

get_device_prop_exp[] gives {"result":[],"code":0,"id":503}

get_lumi_bind[] gives {"result":{"bind_num":1,"total_page":1,"cur_page":0,"page":[{"id":1111}],"fac_scene_enable":0},"code":0,"message":"ok","id":509}

get_ip_info[] no answer

enable_telnet_service[] no answer, and port 23 not open. This is consistent with other posts suggesting that until the gateway is rooted telnet and ssh are not possible

get_device_prop ["lumi.0", "device_list"] no answer

Also tried Volume channels (Alarm, Doorbell, Gateway). They work

marcel_verpaalen · February 9, 2021, 3:59pm

Were these responses via the command or the rpc channel?
Would you mind trying the same via the “Execute RPC” channel

I think the get_device_prop_exp[] needs something in the brackets (something like the device and the property … but don’t know the exact format)…

moody_blue · February 9, 2021, 4:47pm

All previous tests were made with direct connection and command channel. Now I made some more tests:

with direct connection no response from RPC channel
with cloud connection no response from command channel
with cloud connection and RPC channel the following commands had a response

get_device_prop_exp[] gives {"code":0,"exe_time":5,"id":401,"otlocalts":1612891050804300,"result":[]}

get_lumi_bind[] gives {"code":0,"exe_time":6,"id":434,"message":"ok","otlocalts":1612891407342783,"result":{"bind_num":1,"cur_page":0,"fac_scene_enable":0,"page":[{"id":1111}],"total_page":1}}

Note: after the tests of the previous post I’ve removed the thing (and its items), paired one child device with the gateway, and created the thing (and its items) again. Channels of this child device do not appear in OH. WIth this new thing the results of this morning’s had minor changes, so I’ve edit my previous post to reflect them

get_device_prop_exp[["lumi.158d00054222ef","temperature","humidity"]] gives {"result":[[2050,5951]],"code":0,"id":706}

How did I discover that ?

Am I right in thinking that it’s now possible to read the sensors, as well as manage the gateway, using these hieroglyphic commands ?

moody_blue · February 11, 2021, 4:09pm

@marcel_verpaalen Maybe a bit off-topic, but as I don’t like to have IoT devices with internet access, and your bindind seems to depend on xiaomi cloud, do you think that I can use miIO.ota to load another firmware ? I’ve noticed that a Openwrt hack is available.

marcel_verpaalen · February 13, 2021, 2:46pm

Yes, that might be possible. The parameters are like this:

{"mode":"normal", "install":"1", "app_url":"http://#ipaddress-of-your-computer#/#yourfirmware#.pkg", "file_md5":"#md5#","proc":"dnld install"}

lhcorralo · April 2, 2021, 10:56pm

Hi!

First of all, @marcel_verpaalen congratulations from your great job.

I am a complete newbie, but I got a mi home kit with a lumi.gateway.mieu01, and also have the automatically files generated by the binding. I am willing to send whatever is required for helping, but I do not know how to use the “execute command” yet, and I cannot see the “execute RPC command” (I am not using the OpemHab 3.0 versión, I guess it is because of that).

Anyway, I prefer not to depend on third party servers, and therefore the idea of using miIO.ota sounds great. @moody_blue did you manage to flash the openlumi firmware over the air?

Thank you!

moody_blue · April 2, 2021, 11:22pm

Not tried yet. My gateway is available for @marcel_verpaalen testing.

I’ve bought a Sonoff ZBBridge, tasmotized, paired Xiaomi devices that came with the kit, and so far I have no definitive plans about the gateway. Maybe I’ll use it as an auxiliary doorbell for my garden.

lhcorralo · May 1, 2021, 11:12pm

Ok, I managed to install openHab3 in my Synology, run some commands through the cloud and see the results

@marcel_verpaalen Let me know if I can help running any test. Now there are two gateways available in this thread!

moody_blue · June 14, 2023, 4:23pm

The hub works beautifully as an auxiliary doorbell to my Hikvision video intercom (OH4 with miio binding). Would it be possible to load announcements (pre-recorded mp3’s) and play them ?

moody_blue · April 20, 2024, 2:26pm

My firewall blocks internet access. If I enable internet access I have no such errors.

Is there a way to filter out these “fake error” messages ?

marcel_verpaalen · May 3, 2024, 11:54am

that is odd indeed, I would not expect this. I somewhat assume one (all?) of the commands times out when there is no internet access.

But, is it working without the internet access? (the binding does not communicate to the internet except for discovery and vacuuum map…) For the mi gateway it should not need any access.

Would suggest to run with debug loggin on, maybe then we can see which commands to the timeout.
As the mi devices don’t give a ‘wrong encryption’ sort of response, instead, just not respond if a wrong key is provided, the binding is assuming there is a configuration (key) error if there is no respnse.

moody_blue · May 3, 2024, 3:46pm

Before enabling log debug I’ve made some more tests, here are my conclusions:

when the MI Control Hub is powered on it tries to contact an external site. If it does not succeed it loops every 90secs, and when doing so it goes offline temporarily. If I enable internet access in the firewall and disable it past some minutes, it no longer goes offline
If I restart OH (without powering on the Hub) there are no offline messages in the OH log

marcel_verpaalen · May 5, 2024, 8:50pm

then I guess I can’t really suppress this, as the device is truely offline.
