Xiaomi connection problem

Post by Kurtsejr »

I have received a”Mi Smart Sensor set”, with the Mi control HUB as the center. Downloaded the MI App from Google Play, and connect the HUB to my WiFi network – set the region to my country. I can see the sensors on my phones APP – seems to work as expected.

Then I want to move it to Domoticz, and follow the guideline here:

https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Xiaomi_Gateway_(Aqara)

Because I don’t have ”About” I changed my region to “Chinese mainland” – following the guideline and reset the HUB, logging in to Xiaomi via the phone APP – but then I need to rescan for the HUB, but now I can’t find it, yes I have reset the HUB and it blinks as described.

MI Hub version isDGNWG05LM
Mi Home APP version 5.6.27 (from 3th December 2019)

If I return to my original regional settinge I’m back, including re-scan, at there is a connection with my phone APP and the HUB, but I can’t enable the “Local area network protocol” because I don’t have the “About” box as described in the guideline.

Any suggestion on how to move forward?

Seems to be difficult to get an answer, I might have missed something - I hope :-)
Perhaps I shall ask in another way: If you can't find the "About" in the menu - is it then becaus of a wrong addroid APP version?

No answers .... but I'm still trying.

I could be that my MI login stores information that generate a problem with the information there and the "Mainland China" settings, and therefor not able to scan for the Hub. As anyone experienced this?

It seems not possible to delete a Mi account, a bit strange.....

I manged to delete contend in my account, via "Revoke" in APP, set the region to "Chinese mainland", reset the gateway so it starts blinking, then it ask to connect via the APP "Waiting to connect, please open the APP" - but still: I can't connect to the gateway via my phone. On my phone I can see that the gateway offer a WiFi connection, but it does not change anything if I connect to this network instead of my normal, I also assume that the APP should do this by itself.
If I set my region back to "Denmark" I can connect, and everything is working as expected EXCEPT that the menu where I can allow LAN interaction does not exist, and thereby no Domoticz interface........
If I compare with the description here: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Xiaomi_Gateway_(Aqara)
The description ask to set the region to "Mainland China " I don't have this I have "Chinese mainland" - but I have assumed that it's the same, is this wrong? - or the gateway/HUB that's included in the "starter kit" that I bought is different to the gateway in the Domoticz description

Any suggestions?
