Xiaomi Mi Infrared Remote Control

Nico111 · June 26, 2019, 12:39pm

So I’ve registered the device, extracted the token and created a unsupported item with all necessary informations.
Using the cmd channel is no problem, but how can I retrieve the IR commands sent to the IR Receiver?

Hi everyone,

I have a short question regarding a volume UP/DOWN command. Currently the command is executed proper once each time I press e.g. UP. So I have to press 50 times UP to get my value. I could create a rule that executes 50 times but I was hoping that it exists sth. Like a long press. With my enocean binding this is working perfect that when I press the button command is send out and if I release it the command stops.

Does sth. Like this exists for thé IR-Remote?

Thx

No one an idea?

@Manbearpig73; @marcel_verpaalen is sth. like a longpress for xiaomi IR-remote possible? I would like to avoid to execute my command 50 times instead of keep button pressed for let’s say 15 seconds.

thx

@Woogi sorry, no idea. I don’t have such a IR device.

Hello everyone,

I have got this device working.
But have one remaining problem.

I use this device to controle my radio and created a couple of virtual switches to activate functions like the volume.
The switches triggers rules that sends the correct code to the Xiaomi device.
This workes correct. But only when I press the “volume button” very slowly.

But when I press a switch a few times fast, I notice a annoying lag.
At first I thougt it was the Xiaomi device or maybe my wifi.
But when I test simular functions on the app “my home” (supplied by Xiaomi) de device works relatively fast (sometimes 1 or 2 seconds of delay, but nothing realy disturbing).

I have attaced some logging.
In this test case I have pressed the volume button"(switch) 15 times, in about 5 seconds.
The first 5 commands where processed relatively fast, but then the lagging starts en it takes almost a minute to process the lot. (as can be seen in the logging)
I have noticed that the first 5 commands seem to be processed serial. But then they seem to be queued (or something).

I have increased the thread pool to a higher value
editing /etc/openhab2/service/runtime.cfg and adding line

(org.eclipse.smarthome.threadpool:RuleEngine=10)

But this did not seem to help in my case.
I have experimented by adding a timer delay. But to now reveale.
https://community.openhab.org/t/why-have-my-rules-stopped-running-why-thread-sleep-is-a-bad-idea/47695.

I am new to the software and don’t realy know how te proceed.
Any help would be greately appreciated.

rules:
rule “Volume”
when Item Volume_media received command
then if (receivedCommand == ON){
createTimer(now, [|
MIio_executeCmnd.sendCommand(‘miIO.ir_play {“freq”: 38400, “code”:“nE5mkwlk0mk3mEsms2mEsmM2AI8ANJqAGwB9gD8Bz4GtAW2BTYEHg1eCl4NngIOEr4MfgMeCV4MlgI3MIAA=”}’)

Well I noticed, that the IR signals seems to work fine, when there is a pause of 1 second between the commands.
I guess that the binding or device gets confused when there are many parallel connections or commands.

I wrote a script that delay’s every command with one second. In the case that I press for example 10 times fast. I would have to wait 10 seconds before all the commands are processed (instead of a minute like before).
For me that works fine.

Working of the script:

Switch button “Volume_media” is presented to the app.
When pressed it updates a Number item “volIteration_media”. Default value = 0. Every volume down decreases with it with -1 and every volume add’s 1 to the Number item.
When the item “volIteration_media” receives a update, this starts a loop in rule “Volume test - Commander HW”
Switch “chkVolLoop_media” is actived when the loop starts. This virtual switch auto deactivates after 10 second’s or when the the commands end.
This Switch prevents another loop from starting, when there is a active loop present.
When the loop finishes it will reset the “volIteration_media”, back to zero.
When the number in “volIteration_media” is positive and you press volume down, the number is first reset to 0 before it will go in to the negative number.

I’ve added a reset of the “volIteration_media” to 0 before every other (none volume), command (like Power down), so that the volume loop will stop before this command is sent.

volIteration_media.postUpdate(0) //Kill posible Volume loop
Thread::slee(1000p)
For me every volume up or down push initiates three commands, because a single volume up is not realy noticable. If you want to change this, then just find 3 in the text and change this.

@marcel_verpaalen : For me this workarround works fine.
Do you think it would would have a change to get solved within the binding, if this issue would be handled like a bug (maybe in a seperate ticket)?

bob2b · January 13, 2020, 4:31pm

One last remark.
For the ones, that do not own a android device, but do have an IOS device.

Here is an nice article how to retrieve the “acces token” from this type of device.
Works nice.
Note: You don’t have to query for the key (step 10 & 11).
You can simply browse trough the table and look up the key.

Retrieve token with IOS

frest · July 10, 2020, 8:21pm

With the new version of the miio binding this is not necessary any more. It can recieve the token.

Thanks for the details, everything is working fine and I can get rid of the broadlink binding.

marcel_verpaalen · July 23, 2020, 12:40pm

Please add this as a feature request (‘configurable delay between commands’) in github.
At least that is what I understand from the code… not sure, or do you have some delay in the code and wait for more keypresses
Can’t you use slider or something where you indicate the step=3 in your sitemap?

bob2b · August 20, 2020, 3:26pm

@marcel_verpaalen. I understand, that there is a new version of the Mio binding. So I will test the new version first.
Thank. you,
Bob

frest · December 5, 2021, 1:57pm

The commands miIO.ir_read and miIO.ir_learn does not work anymore for me with openhab3. I wanted to learn new codes, but i don’t get any codes. miIO.ir_play is still working.
I am not shure if its a problem with the binding or with openhab3 itself, but it worked well last year. Anyone with similar problems?
Maybe ist just not getting to the events.log?

marcel_verpaalen · December 5, 2021, 7:16pm

I would not directly know why it is no longer possible to send to this device in OH3.x

Can it be that it does not get the double brackets right? In the console you mostly need to surround the whole command with single brackets e.g. 'miIO.ir_learn {"key": 1}'

You could see in the debug log if it send correctly and what the device is returning.

marcel_verpaalen · December 5, 2021, 8:53pm

I actually think nowadays we could create bit better support by it, as the binding capabilities have improved.
If you are on 3.2 and willing to test/experiment a bit I could try to create a json database file for it.

frest · December 6, 2021, 8:44am

That would be great. I am on 3.2 and would like to test.

I am using an ECMA script to learn the codes:

      /// learn
      ///events.sendCommand("Fernbedienungen", 'miIO.ir_learn {"key": "1"}');

      /// read
      ///events.sendCommand("Fernbedienungen", 'miIO.ir_read {"key": "1"}');

      /// play
      events.sendCommand("Fernbedienungen", 'miIO.ir_play {"freq": 38400, "code": "mU3mMwlk4mcwlk0nMwlkzCAA"}');

The ir_read command seems to work:

The ir_play command works as well, the ir signal is send. But I don’t get any code by using ir_learn. Normally, the device leds should start blinking after that command, until it receives a signal. It does not start blinking, only if I send the ir_learn several times.

marcel_verpaalen · December 15, 2021, 8:18am

I was checking the mihome app to better understand the communication. Seems the app does not use these commands anymore and rely on some cloud communication.
Would be good to maybe validate if the python-miio implementation still works. If yes, I’m sure we can make it work somehow with openhab as well.

frest · December 15, 2021, 7:46pm

Yes, seems they simply changed the command. Will try to figure it out.

marcel_verpaalen · December 16, 2021, 6:58am

What is so strange to me is that the device responds with the ‘ok’
Normally if they phase out a command, it will respond with a ‘command not supported’

@kisseler did a test on hos device yesterday and his was still working (but… maybe sending only).
It is very possible that different versions in firmware drive the difference.

frest · December 16, 2021, 7:35pm

Maybe they simply changed the commands. But we don’t are aware of the new ones.

Hi, first thanks for this project. I have a Xiaomi IR Remote, and I have got …the token as instructed: ```json { "code": 0, "message": "ok", "result": { "list": [ { "did": "106967454", "token": "<redacted>", "longitude": "<redacted>", "latitude": "<redacted>", "name": "Remote control", "pid": "0", "localip": "<redacted>", "mac": "<redacted>", "ssid": "<redacted>", "bssid": "<redacted>", "parent_id": "", "parent_model": "", "show_mode": 1, "model": "chuangmi.remote.v2", "adminFlag": 1, "shareFlag": 0, "permitLevel": 16, "isOnline": true, "desc": "Device online ", "extra": { "isSetPincode": 0, "fw_version": "2.0.6_0006", "needVerifyCode": 0, "isPasswordEncrypt": 0 }, "uid": 6444606189, "pd_id": 65567, "password": "", "p2p_id": "", "rssi": -30, "family_id": 0, "reset_flag": 0 }, { "did": "ir.1384676911791915008", "token": "", "longitude": "<redacted>", "latitude": "<redacted>", "name": "TV Remote Control", "pid": "15", "localip": "", "mac": "", "ssid": "<redacted>", "bssid": "<redacted>", "parent_id": "106967454", "parent_model": "chuangmi.remote.v2", "show_mode": 1, "model": "miir.tv.ir01", "adminFlag": 1, "shareFlag": 0, "permitLevel": 16, "isOnline": true, "desc": "Device online ", "extra": { "isSetPincode": 0 }, "uid": 6444606189, "pd_id": 65725, "password": "", "p2p_id": "", "rssi": 0, "family_id": 0, "reset_flag": 0 } ], "virtualModels": [ { "model": "zhimi.airpurifier.m1", "state": 0, "url": "" }, { "model": "yunmi.waterpurifier.v2", "state": 0, "url": "" }, { "model": "zimi.powerstrip.v2", "state": 0, "url": "" } ] } } ``` In the Mi Home application, I've easily set up a kind of "sub device" for this universal IR, which is a "TV Remote Control" as can be seen. I have no idea whether I'm able to control this child device as it doesn't have a token itself, only the parent remote has it. It would be great if possible to get the button hex/raw codes or something. I've tried to "learn" commands with `miiocli chuangmiir --ip <remote ip> --token <remote token> learn 1` but miiocli instantly returns "Learning command into storage key 1 ['ok']", and a read shows the slot now has a raw code but it actually doesn't learn anything, no idea where these codes are coming from. I don't understand why it doesn't wait for me to click my TV control to read the IR code, as it happens from Mi Home app, and since it can't learn any code, I'm out of ideas how to send them. At this moment I'm trying to find any hex code that works for my remote to trying sending it raw without the learning step, so far, no luck with it either.
