Hey,
does anyone know if there’s already support for the new Xiaomi MiaoMiaoCe Thermometer? If not, is it possible and/or already in Progress?

Here’s a Link to the device: https://www.ebay.de/i/323553112643?chn=ps&ul_ref=https%3A%2F%2Frover.ebay.com%2Frover%2F1%2F707-134425-41852-0%2F2%3Fmpre%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.ebay.de%252Fi%252F323553112643%253Fchn%253Dps%26itemid%3D323553112643%26targetid%3D529282737537%26device%3Dm%26adtype%3Dpla%26googleloc%3D9044827%26poi%3D%26campaignid%3D1578513756%26adgroupid%3D57060575182%26rlsatarget%3Dpla-529282737537%26abcId%3D1139676%26merchantid%3D7364532%26gclid%3DCj0KCQiAxNnfBRDwARIsAJlH29DYM3xm4LY0n6-Jf1kiYd_wfCzYwgLt-qkWNaH8hk3AmElPq8IZ43UaAh2DEALw_wcB%26srcrot%3D707-134425-41852-0%26rvr_id%3D1751867964629%26rvr_ts%3D3d236c221670ac8003c08239ffe228ee

not sure what protocol is uses (I found some reference for RF 2.4GHz… most likely ZigBee). Do some more research on its connectivity options.

I like their statement though !!! (in the product pdf from their official website…)

I should post this one on http://www.engrish.com/

I am really sorry for the spam, but this is hilarious … @vzorglub & @rlkoshak : this is reddit material

“Performance Failure” technical table with a reference to a “chaotic display” !

at least the documentation is entertaining.

I saw that some of the homeassistant guys are fiddling with this devices via bluetooth dongles.

From what I found, it is using ZigBee, so in theory, you should be able to use the ZigBee Binding from here: Zigbee binding

I saw some references to ZigBee in relation with this unit… nothing concrete, so I don’t post a link. If I find some document, I will upload it.

But that would require additional ZigBee Receiving/Sending hardware as well?

Of course you would need a USB Dongle. Check that thread for compatible models

That wouldn’t be a valid solution for my case. I already have a bunch of power consuming devices / hubs
I was hoping there is a way to use it via the Xiaomi Mi Gateway that I already have. Maybe I just go with the compatible devices without display.

Now you mention this fact?

Partone · November 23, 2018, 11:26am

Yeah I’m already using this fantastic binding. Its perfect. But it’s not supporting the MiaoMiaoCe. But thats basically caused by the missing compatibility between the gateway and the sensor itself.

I think I will fallback to this: Aqara Temperature, Humidity and Pressure Sensor.
