Adding new devices

Jelger Haanstra edited this page Aug 11, 2023 · 7 revisions

The Xiaomi Mi Home eco system is huge. The Xiaomi Mi Home app only supports a selection of all available devices. Even devices that are identified on the supported devices page might not have all features integrated. If you want support for a specific device or device feature you can request it here on Github by submitting an issue.

Do note, as there is no official API and Xiaomi does not support third-party integration, being able to add it to the Homey app depends on one of these things below. If neither of these can be fulfilled then integration is not possible.

  1. Some other library that already integrated the device which shows it’s parameters. I would need the device model ID to make sure which looks something like this brand.type.id, for instance zhimi.airpurifier.mc1. So post this when requesting support for a device.
  2. The user that requests the integration supplies me with the parameters of the device, usually by sniffing network communication of the device. How this is done is described here.
  3. Access to the physical device (users would need to lend or donate me the device)
