[OBSOLETE] Xioami Zigbee Door/Window Sensor, Motion Sensor, & Smart Button Device Type

Jimberino · December 16, 2016, 7:39am

Just got around to doing a test for the motion sensor. Using Smart Lighting and a simple turn on light with motion it turned on near instantaneous and almost at a 180 angle to the sensor. The only problem it that it takes a while to be inactive like 2 mins after initial active state.

Other variable was the motion sensor was about 20 feet away from the ST Hub and near open area. Hope that helps

Thank you everyone on this thread for sharing your very valuable experiences. I really want to get some of these buttons as they would be awesome to help control various automations and lights around the house. I have ST with a bunch of motion sensors, a couple of multisensors, a few lightify bulbs and a whole load of Hue lights (connected via Hue Hub).

After trawling through nearly all of this thread, I cannot reliably ascertain what steps I need to take and whether I need to buy a hub or not. I think that this is what I need to do:

get some devices, and put them into pairing mode, (from the efficient way described on this thread)
Get their ID, (if I have the hub, from their android app, if I don’t have their hub, from the ST IDE live-logging)
Get them paired directly with ST (I guess this step is nuanced depending on how I get the ID from number 2)
Start using them!

I know that I have well over simplified this, but if someone could please help to create a step-by-step, that would help immensely - and I’ll get my order in ASAP!

Best regards,
Nitin

@Rave,
I managed to add Temperature Sensor by Network ID. I thought it will discover Zigbee ID after that. But It did not. Kindly tell me how to get Zigbee ID. I can see temperature and humidity on ST app.
Thanks a lot.

Wow, i just realize you do not need Zigbee ID in order to work. I’m not sure what is the consequences but you can use it without device ID (i apologize to the folks who ordered the hub). Check the steps here

[OBSOLETE] Xiaomi Zigbee Outlet (Steps to Pair any Xiaomi Zigbee device!) Community Created Device Types

Device Handler for the cheap xiaomi zigbee plug. Since it does not pair automatically with SmartThings, you’ll have to add this device manually by using its Zigbee Id and Network Id. You can get Network Id from ST Hub. For Zigbee Id, you can get it from Xiaomi Hub/Gateway (there could be other way to figure out the Device Id). For less than 10~15$ usd, you’ll get a Zigbee Outlet and a temperature sensor. Edit : You do not need a Zigbee Device ID for it to work. Here’s the step Press Add a Thing in ST App Hold the button in the outlet for a few seconds In IDE, you will get something like catchall: 0104 0000 01 01 0100 00 B46D 00 04 115F 0A 01 01FF4231641000032814983900000000953900000000 Add a New Device using IDE Fill in the Device Network ID, you can find it from the catchall log. it …

Nooo… just ordered the hub!!!

Naahh… cool you found this! Makes life much easier and i can sell the Hub again.

Rave · December 16, 2016, 6:54pm

Got some update to the device handler. Now most devices should show battery. I’ll upload soon

Brian_M · December 16, 2016, 7:37pm

@Rave you magnificent bastard, thank you!

brumster · December 16, 2016, 7:43pm

Top job @Rave!

Folks, any chance of a little help. I’m using an iPhone. Should I be able to get the temp sensor working? I’ve got the network id “0050” and I’ve added a device (using the “Temperature Sensor” DTH) but it just won’t report temp.

Can someone post an idiot’s step by step guide to setting this up please?

Thx

RInkelk · December 16, 2016, 7:51pm

Are you sure you’ve got the right network id ? it usually has numbers and characters in it.

David_Wei · December 16, 2016, 8:19pm

Great stuff… I’m thinking about getting a few more plugs and other things as well (10 window sensors just isn’t enough…). I’ll be getting them directly from Xiaomi and have a forwarder in China to ship it to Vancouver. Anyone in Vancouver wanna join?

Jimberino · December 16, 2016, 9:35pm

Just curious how much cheaper is it coming directly from Xiaomi? Right now Gearbest has the sensors the motion and door sensors for $10-12 and the button for around $8 shipped. Not sure how much cheaper it is to buy them and ship them over.

Although I am interest in their iSmartAlarm Camera clone for like $15-30 bucks.

David_Wei · December 17, 2016, 6:14am

Well, I bought their package deal of gateway, plug, temp sensor, button PIR sensor package, plus 5 PIR sensors, 2 more buttons, 5 more temp/hum sensors, 10 window sensors.

The total comes to around $250 including DHL shipping to Vancouver. It takes quite a while for them to all gather at the forwarder, but after that it is FAST…

rexii454 · December 17, 2016, 6:34am

From my calcs, gearbest is actually really good value. I pay ~ $1-2 extra ordering from gearbest vs buying in china direct. The pricing in RMB in china is advertised on their webpage http://list.mi.com/26-0-1

I have 2 of the cube cameras on the way will update on how they go

I had no lucky with my smoke alarm mod. I couldn’t get a 5V output from the piezo no matter what I tried. Will take it to work and get a proper oscilloscope on it to see what’s going on.

brumster · December 17, 2016, 6:32pm

Does anyone have the temp sensor working who has Hue installed?

Brian_M · December 17, 2016, 6:43pm

yes, no issues.

SLKDK · December 17, 2016, 11:44pm

@Rave you are really awesome. Your fault I have ordered a bunch of Xiaomi sensors

Looking forward to receiving them

David_Wei · December 18, 2016, 8:52am

Just reporting back, everything is working and working well, absolutely no disconnection issues.

Brian_M · December 19, 2016, 8:19pm

Any update?

toyanucci · December 20, 2016, 2:24am

My motion sensor and smart button have arrived at the freight forwarder, hoping I’ll have them in hand by Christmas!

Rave · December 20, 2016, 3:49pm

Here it is. It is the same implementation from erocm123, except that i added a “Holdable Button” capability and updated battery reporting.

Battery reporting might not work right away. It took me couple days to get it start reporting. And the value is not exactly accurate. Its about ±10%

Was messing with Home Assistant currently, so i did not spend a lot of time on the device handlers. I’ll post the rest once I have updated the handler
