Xiaomi Robot Vacuum Binding

@DaAndy. Your method of token retrieval finally worked for me. The latest mihome app does not allow for token retrieval and flole is not able to do mihome imports as before. After trying almost every option in the forum the only thing that worked was sideloading the old mihome app. Thanks again. I wish I had read your post earlier before trying all the other suggestions.

recap:
In the end I had to side load an older version of the xiaomi home app:
(https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/xiaomi-inc/mihome/mihome-5-0-19-release/mihome-5-0-19-android-apk-download/
And then extract using the commands/instr below:

  1. hook up debugable phone and use: adb.exe backup n- -noapk com.xiaomi.smarthome -f backup.ab
  2. java -jar .\android-backup-tookit\android-backup-extractor\android-backup-extractor-20180203-bin\abe.jar unpack .\backup.ab backup.tar
  3. Use 7zip to extract tar
  4. Use sqllite browser to mine mio2.db file
  5. Use this sql cmd to retrieve token: select token from devicerecord
