[OBSOLETE] Xiaomi Sensors and Button (beta)

[Paralytic]

I bought a couple of the Xiaomi Temperature/Humidity sensors from AliExpress but am having a bit of trouble. The LED is lights are not turning on when I hold the button down and I can’t get the back off to check the battery without screwing up the casing - it just doesn’t turn. Has anyone else had this trouble?

Update: I managed to get the back off these with a knife and, of course (given the price), they didn’t come with a battery.

So, I popped one in, added it, and its working with no issues so far, updating both temperature and humidity. There was no need to look for the catchall as I’ve read others had to do.

I used this DTH:

Here is the official LATEST Xiaomi Zigbee Sensor Device Handlers. These are developed originally from @a4refillpad The device handlers are located in GitHub here: or can be brought in via the GitHub integration by using these settings: Owner: bspranger Name: Xiaomi Branch: master These sensors are very sensitive. Drop offs are usually a result of the Xiaomi sensor trying to repeat through a zigbee router. They do not handle it well. Therefore when pairing you need to make sure all other zigbee routing devices are off and that the device is pairing directly to the hub. Also interference on the 2.4 frequency band can be an issue. I had to move my wifi channels so they did not interfere with my zigbee. There are many devices on the 2.4 range (baby monitors, cordless phones, bluetoot…

Lets see how long it stays connected…
