Xiaomi Mi Infrared Remote Control

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

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.

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.

Well, I can give a hint… These are the requests they make
only local commands left seems to be the indicatorLamp.

You could try it to see if anything appears.

I tried the json File, the device gets identified and i have the two channels. The indicator lamp works as expected, the Test remote cloud command does not work:

I may need to add that you need the very latest version (less than 1 week old) of Openhab in order to use these cloud commands…

and… they may need some more parameters…
If you really want to know, there is a hacked mihome version from ‘vevs’ ЗАПИСКИ ЛЕНИВОГО ЭНТУЗИАСТА: Модифицированный Mi Home с переводом действий, условий и статусов (русский и английский языки) which allows to switch on debugging and logging of commands to your sd. This reveils what is the communication. These can than be repeated with openhab. (note. usual caution applies for installing apks from unknown source)
