That would suggest the backup failed. Somethings you can check:

• Did you turn on ADB debugging? When MiToolkit is backing up your phone, there should be a prompt on your phone asking you to enter a password. If you don’t see this screen, that means ADB debugging wasn’t set or permissions not given
• Do you have Java (JRE) installed?

Yes i have ADB debugging On and Java (JRE) installed ;/ phone asked me about permission and password for backup after he opened Mi app but i still got error "way too small". It looks like backup was made but didnt transfer do computer. Is it possible to find it by android file manager app??

If your device is rooted yes, you can just download the database and use sqlite3 to retrieve the token. The Internet already have instructions on how to do that.

When you start your MiHome app do you see youself logged in to the XiaoMi cloud, and also see your Robot Vaacuum in the list?

Do you have another Android device you can from?

Hi, it appears you have a mistake in your secrets.yaml file. Check out the home assistant document here

Looks like you’re router/firewall isn’t setup properly yet for the Webhook to connect back to your Home Assistant. So the good news is you’re halfway there.

I touched on this in page 9 of the tutorial with an example. Refer to your router manual and see how to setup a NAT/PortForwarding rule to map the webhook request back to your HomeAssistant in your LAN.

If you have problems just tell me the model number of your router and I’d see if I can guide you through it.

Hi ghizmo82,

How did you configured google home mini to work with this?

From the guide I understood that you need to have a dedicated google home server.

Best regards

You’d need to run a computer inside your network for IFTTT. Something small like a Raspberry Pi can do it. Have a HOWTO on how to get Home Assistant up and running on a Pi <a href="https://www.snakeoil-os.net/news/home-automation/install-home-assistant-on-a-raspberry-pi">here</a>.

Same issue here. Rooted phone, tried via Mi Toolkit and got no token line. Tried via SQLite, ran query "select token from devicerecord where localIP is ‘XXX.XXX.X.XXX’" and got nothing, also tried the device record but I can’t find anything related to the token.

Apologies for the late reply.

Recent versions of MiHome no longer store the token in the APP. You’d need to install a early version of MiHome to get the token now. For details refer to this <a href="https://github.com/ultrara1n/MiToolkit/issues/12">link</a>.

So far extracting the token from MiHome still works best - I can’t even use ‘miio –discover’ to get the Vacuum token now.

The REST API is now set_fan_speed, e.g.:

https://server/api/services/VACUUM/SET_FAN_SPEED?api_password=your_api_password

And the payload, is { "entity_id" : "your_vac_entity", "speed": "100" }

Speed can be a number from 0 to 100. Or high, medium, low.

Have amended the table with the new call.

Hi, everithing woks really fine but I still can’t get fan_speed_control to work. Can you please help me?

Here is how I did set Webhooks in IFTTT:

<code>URL: https://*********.duckdns.org:8123/api/services/VACUUM/SET_FAN_SPEED?api_password=**********

Method: POST

Content Type (optional): Application/json

Body (optional): { "entity_id" : "vacuum.xiaomi_vacuum_cleaner", "speed": "30" }

Is there anithing wrong?</code>

Can you try and use this payload and see what happens? (Assuming you got the name right)

{ "entity_id" : "xiaomi_vacuum_cleaner", "speed": "30" }

I followed all the steps, ports have been forwarded and showing as open, I can see the robot of the assistant software and I can stop/start it from there but when I try to use voice control my Google home will respond but the vacuum itself does not respond Have checked all passwords and codes and they are all correct any ideas ??

1. Confirm you can connect to Home Assistant from the Internet. Try and connect to your home assistant from your work computer, your 4G mobile, etc (any computer that’s not part of your network).
2. Check your URL, are you using HTTP or HTTPS?

Use an app like Postman and manually call the webhook with the JSON payload. did that work? What response did you get?

stupid question but how do i connect to it from outside my network do i just type in my ddns address ?

ok i checked over every thing and found a typo corrected the typo and its working thanks heaps

Hi Simon,

can’t answer that as I don’t own the newer model. I assume it will still work but my answer is really a guess.

So i got the new model vacuum about 15min ago and can confirm this still works with the new model, now i can vac and mop my house using my voice.

Thanks for finding out the new model (Roborock) still works .

Hi Casper,

Click on the "circled i" button in developer tools (left hand side). It should show you a log of errors, an entry can probably tell you why it’s not working.

The xiaomi_miio library in HASS has been unstable of late and there are a few releases that broke the Vac robot. I’m on 0.66 right now and it’s working. If you havn’t yet perhaps also upgrade your HASS to this version and see how it goes? (Obviously look at the logs first before doing this).

I’ve figured out what is going wrong in my setup. On top of page 5 the manual tells you to add the vacuum to secrets.yaml while it should be added to configuration.yaml I think. I’ve googled around a bit, changed this and now I’m one step further. Vacuum is now recognised but still unavailable :/

Any suggestions for that? I did update to the latest version of home assistant. I own the second edition (roborock s50), maybe that changes something in the set-up?

Couldn’t edit anymore.

This is the info from the log, it keeps repeating this error every minute:

Got exception while fetching the state: No response from the device 12:16 components/vacuum/xiaomi_miio.py (WARNING) Got error when receiving: timed out 12:16 components/vacuum/xiaomi_miio.py (ERROR) Update of vacuum.the_kraken is taking over 10 seconds 12:16 core.py (WARNING)

Hi Casper,

The secrets file is a place to put all your passwords. So your vac configuration is in configuration.yaml, but the token is stored in secrets.yaml.

I’d send you a email and we’d work from there privately.

Hi PJ,

Did you add the api_password at the end of your URL, where XXXXX is your API password?

?api_password=XXXXX

Hi Kith,

Yes, this is my url, http://xxxxxxx.ddns.net/api/services/VACUUM/TURN_ON?api_password=xxxxxxx

Hmm, that’s a weird one. From your browser, try the following URL:

https://xxx.dyndns.net/api/services?api_password=xxxxxxx

Change xxx where necessary, do you get anything or a invalid response?

From IE, I get "Can’t reach this page." If I change to http, I get a Windows Security pop up box for username and password.

"The server xxx.ddns.net is asking for your username and password. The server reports that it is from GENETEC."

From Postman, "no respond’ when I use https and unauthorized when I use http.

Seems you already mapped port 80 to some video camera system in your network. Add a new NAT for 8123 and forward it to your internal HASS port (8123 by default). Once done, try it again, you should hit the right server, and then it will all work.

http://xxx.dyndns.net:8123/api/services?api_password=xxxxxxx

Looks like need to investigate futher, I’d take it up with you via email.

Will also create a ‘Home Automation’ section in the forums. Folks with the harder problems can create an account and post in the forums instead (https://www.snakeoil-os.net/forums/Forum-Home-Automation), as it’d be easier to communicate.

Yes because the link is IFTTT and no Http, you try a say the phrase on your Assistant or maybe you don’t have a IP public. Sorry for my English…

Hi,

How did you resolve the issue with the :

"returns 405: Method Not Allowed. "

Thanks

This sounds like a firmware bug. Best way is to update to the latest firmware and see if it still have this problem.

Hi FilipeOS,

Join/Tasker certainly looks interesting! I’d try and see if I can get some time to give that a go..

Thank you so much because I’ve setup the Roborock to Europe and now I can’t go back to China since it’s forcing me to change Region… I can’t do anything unless go to Europe again… I tried almost everything…

Join/Tasker allow you to do the same thing you did but without servers, I just don’t have that experience…

The API isn’t fantastically clear, and it keeps changing. Try and use a number between 0 to 100 for fan_speed.. See if that works.
