i managed to control my Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum with Domoticz, without catching UDP-packages or something like this. Lets look at it:
Steps:
1. Get the token of your mi robot with the MiToolkit :
https://github.com/ultrara1n/MiToolkit/releases
Sorry, its a german page, but Google-Translator is your friend
. Your phone has to be in devmode and usb-debugging is activated. Connect your phone via usb to your pc. 2. Install "mirobo" (https://github.com/rytilahti/python-mirobo) on your domoticz-server. i´ve used this tutorial to manage this: http://blog.gurskiy.com/?p=62
This is a russian page, but with google translator, its is easy to handle.
After installing it, you should be able to control your robot with:
"sudo mirobo --ip [yourrobotiphere] --token [yourrobottokenhere] start"
3. Create a virtual switch in domoticz (On/Off).
4. Check the state with a device-based luascript and trigger "mirobo"-application like this:
Code: Select all
commandArray = {}
for deviceName,deviceValue in pairs(devicechanged) do
print ("Device based event fired on '"..deviceName.."', value '"..tostring(deviceValue).."'");
if (deviceName=='[nameofyourvirtualswitch]' ) then
if tostring(deviceValue) == "On" then
os.execute("sudo mirobo --ip [yourrobotiphere] --token [yourrobottokenhere] start")
elseif tostring(deviceValue) == "Off" then
os.execute("sudo mirobo --ip [yourrobotiphere] --token [yourrobottokenhere] home")
end
end
end
return commandArray
With controlicz i´m now able to call "Alexa, turn the vacuum on!", and my Xiamo Mi Robot will start going to work
.Just notice, that this is only an basic configuration. "Mirobo" is much more powerfull, like read the state of the xiaomi, manage dnd-mode, setting fanspeed and so on...
edit: i´ve added a icon for the xiaomi
