Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 3/3H - No Response

Hello community,

I’m currently trying to fix my Xiaomi Air Purifier integration. The connection has been a bit buggy since a long time (OH 2.x / but skipped 3.x). E.g. I had to send commands twice or wait 30 seconds to take effect. But it was okay.

Meanwhile, and I asumed due to some device updates, it became much worse.Some items are updated, some not at all and changing states or modes via openHAB succeed maybe only on 15th try.

In the logs I get the following at every update periodically:

2024-04-23 09:12:55.364 [DEBUG] [nal.transport.MiIoAsyncCommunication] - Communication error for Mi device at 192.168.24.16: Receive timed out
2024-04-23 09:12:55.365 [DEBUG] [nal.transport.MiIoAsyncCommunication] - Received message is without id: {"error":"No Response"}

More information:

  • Tested on openHAB 4.0.0 and 4.1.2 with no difference.
  • openHAB instance and device are on the same subnet and openHAB can ping device (70-600ms).
  • Device can be controlled via MiHome App perfectly and immediatly.
  • I want to connect to the devices exclusively direct and without cloud. I want to disable the devices internet connection to prevent it from talking home.
  • I already do this with a Roborock vaccum which works good.

Any help fixing this is highly appreciated. Pollen season is in full swing here… :slightly_smiling_face:

suggest to remove all the non-essential channels.
You have many channels enabled, that means lot of data needs to be pulled.
Some of the devices get overwhelmed if so many data elements are pulled.

600ms ping is rather long, so may also be bit of connectivity issue ones in a while.
you can also try to reduce the refresh rate, that may also increase the response to commands (as th queue is not full with all sort of refresh requests)

normally your queue should be pretty empty, so it suggest some congestion (r.g. I see in your log 45 entries in the queue… if your ping would be 600 that means indeed 30 sec delay for your command to execute)

Thanks Marcel for your hints.

  • I removed a lot of channels. From initial 54 to 19 remaining.
  • The refreshInterval is now 60 seconds. The default seems to be 30.

With this the elements in queue now vary between 9-16 elements. Turning the device on/off now tooks ~1-2 minutes but seems to be reliable. Regarding the ping time: I took the average of 100 pings and it’s 268ms.

  1. Is the number of elements in the queue normal/expectable?

Should it normally be 0 at the period update? Because the log still shows: Skipping periodic update for 'miio:basic:airpurifier1'. 9 elements in queue.

  1. Do you know what the following means that now occurs occasionally?

Custom Refresh for device 'miio:basic:airpurifier1': 0 channels

No, the queue should normally be empty before the next refresh. Having still vijand there indeed shows the is sinds slowness. I guess some poor connection as ping times are normally under 30ms in a local network.

What you can try…

Get the JSON for for your device from GitHub.
Change the
“maxProperties”: 1,

To a higher number. You can experiment with the value, but up to 5 is prob possible.

That will make that less commands are needed to refresh, hence may go faster

Some devices use non standard commands to pull the values. Have not double checked if your does…but I would guess that you either get that every 60 seconds or never… Occasionally is odd

Thank you for your suggestions, @marcel_verpaalen. I highly appreciate your help.
Due to some private obligations, I currently can’t find the time to investigate in this adequately. I hope to find the time soon.
