[Deprecated] Xiaomi / Aqara ZigBee device drivers (possibly may no longer be maintained)

It does not change the sensor's sensitivity, but rather adds the user-entered offset to the value reported by the sensor. @bobbles's explanation is correct.

Ok thanks for explaining for that!

saxnix · September 17, 2018, 11:12pm

Thanks @veeceeoh, step 9 allowed me to add a couple of different types of Xiaomi devices that wouldn't finish Initializing.

I have added few Xiaomi devices/sensors and most of them have worked fine. However, I do not know how will I use the cube and LIght switch. Could someone provide some instructions.

coops8d · September 22, 2018, 6:24am

Any DH out there for the xiaomi wall plug?

veeceeoh · September 22, 2018, 4:16pm

@Smartsmartsmart reported over here that the SmartThings DTH code worked for him (but without the energy usage capability).

I am currently working on a SmartThings DTH for the new Xiaomi Aqara Vibration Sensor (which will in turn lead to one for Hubitat), but after that I'll see about adapting the SmartThings ZigBee outlet DTH to make a Hubitat-specific device driver. I just won't be able to test it myself.

gavincampbell · September 22, 2018, 4:20pm

I knew eventually you would get to it. I just got 4 of them this week. Let me know when your ready to test. I made my own driver (based off the smartthings driver) but prefer to you use what you guys come out with as its a "supported" driver.

veeceeoh · September 22, 2018, 5:20pm

You mean the beta DTH in the bspranger/Xiaomi thread? That would also be me, with help and input from a few ST users, and notably with help and some fantastically useful code from user oltman on GitHub.

As for the adapted Hubitat device drivers, "you guys" = just me.

coops8d · September 23, 2018, 3:13am

Sweet, thanks for that got it working like a charm!

Smartsmartsmart · September 23, 2018, 3:47am

That's me here.
I just tested it again and it worked, however, if I press the button on the outlet, it doesn't do anything.

Smartsmartsmart · September 23, 2018, 4:23am

Could you please tell me how you got it working? Which driver did you use?
I tried to use the ST driver but I am getting an error message while saving.

Smartsmartsmart · September 23, 2018, 4:49am

That would be great. I own one and it would be nice to have it working with Hubitat.

I will do the testing for you. Let me know when you are ready.

coops8d · September 23, 2018, 6:39am

I just used the one from here [OBSOLETE] Xiaomi Zigbee Outlet (Steps to Pair any Xiaomi Zigbee device!) - Community Created Device Types - SmartThings Community

What's it not doing for you?

Smartsmartsmart · September 23, 2018, 6:58am

I already have this one working though it does not report power usage.
I thought you got Aqara vibration sensor working which I am trying to get to work.

coops8d · September 23, 2018, 7:08am

Oh sorry yeah I don't have that sensor.

Hi I am trying pairing the Original Xiaomi Door/Windows Sensor, but always show "Initializing"

So I trying to add Virtual Device, but the Status still "UNKNOWN" .

saxnix · September 23, 2018, 8:36pm

You should be able to follow the instructions listed below (posted by @veeceeoh) to do a manual pairing. The post is was written for the Smart Light Switch, but it worked for me with the Door/Window sensor. Also, if you haven't done so yet, first go and add its driver linked in the 1st post, and then do this.

veeceeoh:

Special Pairing Instructions :

In your web browser, open up two tabs, one displaying your Hubitat’s Device list, and the other with the ZigBee Logging page (in Settings --> Zigbee Information --> Zigbee Logging)

Start “Discover Devices” in the tab with your Hubitat’s Device list.

Hold down either button of the Xiaomi Smart Light Switch, until the LED flashes.

The LED will flash, then a pause, and either flash consecutively 3 times, or flash once. Unlike all other Xiaomi devices, a single flash seems to indicate a successful connection. Either way, the best way to know is by then short-pressing either button. If the LED flashes just once as you press a button, then it’s connected, but if it flashes twice, then go back to step 3 (hold a button until LED flashes).

In the Device page, when the Hubitat recognizes the switch, it will display its Zigbee ID. Make sure to copy or write down this ID.

In the ZigBee Logging page, look for log entries that start with a 4-digit hexadecimal number. It will also list that hexadecimal number above the log entries as well. The way to be sure you’ve got the right number is that log entries should be added if you press a button. Copy or write down this number also.

Back in the Device page, if the switch hasn’t finished initializing, there are two things to try:

Click the Add Virtual Device button, but don’t enter in any information. Just click the << Device List link near the top. If you’re lucky, the hub secretly added the switch to your device list. In my case it was recognized as a Xiaomi Temperature Humidity Sensor. If you do see a new device, then view its Device Details by clicking on its name in the left column. Then you can change the device Type to “Xiaomi Aqara Dual Button Light Switch” using the pop-up list in the lower right corner of the page. Click the save button on the lower right, and then the switch can be used.

If the hub didn’t secretly add the switch to your device list, you can add it manually. Go back to the Device List page, and click the Add Virtual Device button. Enter a name for the switch, the Zigbee ID you wrote down, and type the hexadecimal number into the Device Network Id field. Finally select the device Type: “Xiaomi Aqara Dual Button Light Switch”, and click the save button to add the switch to your devices list.

Whew! You did it! I can post screenshots if people hae trouble with this.

Smartsmartsmart · September 24, 2018, 6:16am

Would it be possible to pair Xiaomi hub with Hubitat? I would be nice to have it working with Hubitat as it can be used for announcements, sirens, night light etc.

veeceeoh · September 26, 2018, 5:11pm

Possible, yes. There is a user-contributed solution for SmartThings called Mi Connector:

However, it involves installing a server in Docker on a Raspberry Pi or Synology NAS, and then a SmartApp and DTHs in SmartThings. And it's currently in constant development.

With my plate already overflowing, I have no plans whatsoever to port that solution over to Hubitat, but maybe there's someone else interested...?

Did my "Special Pairing Instructions" that @saxnix quoted (thanks for that!) work for you?

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - New versions of some Xiaomi devices incompatible with current device drivers

From an Athom Homey Community thread dedicated to Xiaomi devices, I have learned that there are at least three Xiaomi Aqara devices with a new revision which seem to have firmware changes that make them incompatible with the current SmartThings DTHs (device handlers).

Here's a list:

Device	Model	New Zigbee Model ID	Old Zigbee Model ID
Aqara Button	WXKG11LM	`lumi.remote.b1acn01`	`lumi.sensor_switch.aq2`
Aqara Smart Light Switch - 1 Button	WXKG03LM	`lumi.remote.b186acn01`	`lumi.sensor_86sw1lu` or `lumi.sensor_86sw1`
Aqara Smart Light Switch - 2 Button	WXKG02LM	`lumi.remote.b286acn01`	`lumi.sensor_86sw2Un` or `lumi.sensor_86sw2`

NOTE: The devices with the New Zigbee Model ID are the new versions that don't work with the current device handlers.

An easy way to know that you've probably received one of the new versions of the above devices is that it will only pair as a generic "Device", instead of choosing the correct device driver.

To check the Zigbee Model ID, you should be able to view it while logged into your Hubitat hub when you view details about the device by clicking on it's name in the Devices page. Search for the "Data" row, near the bottom of the page, where you'll hopefully see something like this:

I don't have any of these new versions myself, and don't plan on purchasing more any time soon, so...

If any receives one of the above three models and it pairs as a "device" please post in this thread, and I'll explain how to get some log output which should hopefully help me to update the device driver to work correctly.

If you have a device with an Old Zigbee Model ID listed above, there's no need report back that they're working fine.
