Welcome to our (outdated) repository for reverse engineering and rooting of the Xiaomi Smart Home Devices. We provide you methods how to root your device without opening it or breaking the warranty seal (on your own risk).
** This repository is outdated for most usecases! It was meant as a reference cloud emulation for Xiaomi devices. For vacuum robots, it has been now integrated in Valetudo **
You find more information about my projects here: My Website Technical information and teardowns about robots can be found here: Robotinfo
The (again outdated) documentation of the devices (photos, datasheets, uart logs, etc) was moved to a new repo dustcloud-documentation
Please take a look at the (outdated) Dustcloud Wiki, which also contains instructions on how to root and flash your device: (https://github.com/dgiese/dustcloud/wiki)

Yes, there is a telegram channel (check the pinned message).
In theory you can contact me via twitter.
Please inform yourself in the forums and with the howtos before you post in this channel. Otherwise your message is very likely to be ignored.

IoT will very likely become a very important topic in the future. If you like to know more about IoT security, you can visit me at Northeastern University in Boston, US. Please contact me.
