Xiaomi: is there a way to get Xiaomi devices into HE?

Especially the „mi air purifier H3“

A search here for “Xiaomi” returns well over fifty results. Might be worth looking there.

Thank you. Very helpful. Couldn’t have figured that out myself.

The simplest solution would be to add it to Home Assistant using the Xiaomi Air Purifier component, and then use HADB to bring it into Hubitat.

Thx, I do not have experience with HA. I tried but I can’t connect it to my router. The router just doesn’t show me the raspberry PI I installed HA on. Haven’t found anything helpful in the internet for now. It’s not very easy as a newcomer. But I think HA is probably the only way to go.

The other possible workaround is a simple on/off control using a virtual switch exposed to Alexa. There should be a MiHome skill in Alexa.

I didn't know there was a miio integration, thanks @aaiyar. Now I can retire the pi based miio interface I've had for years.
