Hey Everyone
Looking for a way to use my Xiaomi hubs as repeaters is there a driver that can help with this. Also would be great to use whatever is a child of the device. Since they are not connected to a server.

Seria posible enlazar el hub de Xiaomi en hubitat para utilizarlo como luz y altavoz para la alarma?
Not directly. However, Hubitat and Xiaomi both integrate with Node-RED. And it is possible to use NR to control the alarm functions on the Mijia/Aqara smart hub.

It is possible to control the light from HomeKit, via Homebridge and a HomeKit hub like Apple TV 4 or the HomePod Mini. Xiaomi sensors can be synced back to Hubitat via virtual switches in this way too.
But the alarm function and the doorbell sounds, etc. can only be triggered by a Xiaomi sensor. You can get creative and make these work. I do this for my doorbell. But the alarm is not worth it. I experienced several false alarms on the Aqara hub in the middle of the night, so I no longer have that setup.
Cool - my gateway has been sitting in a drawer for 2 years now. Can the nodes trigger the siren and control the individual chime sounds?
Yup

This is the one that I use with the original Mijia gateway:
There are a few others.

Muchas gracias por vuestras respuestas, soy bastante nuevo en esto y no tengo esperiencia con Node-red. Aun asi, empezare por aprender a utilizar node-red.
Muchas gracias de nuevo
De nada. Node-Red no es difĂcil de aprender. Hay muchos videos en YouTube.
Just tried this out. It seems that the gateway and node red host need to be on the same subnet as I can't connect to it - no key set message even though the node is def configured correctly with the correct key (they're on different vlans).
According to the mi home app the comms protocol uses multicasting. I assume you have them on the same subnet?
Yup. I do.

Thanks. The hub also works via the mi connector app so I was able to get it working that way (I have the mi-connector itself running in its own debian SBC on my IOT Vlan).

You’re talking about the older specific Mijia hub right, not the New Zigbee 3.0 Multifunction hub?
I am for sure. Although that older hub can handle both Mijia and Xiaomi sensors, including the new zigbee 3.0 sensors (at least the lux sensor).
