Xiaomi Cube using Smartthings Hub into Home Assistant

Devices & Integrations Connected Things
1

Hey all! I am really hoping to get some help! Please excuse any under/over explanation! I have been going at this for hours! I would be grateful to anyone who can point me in the right direction!

I have Hassio, Aqara Cube and Smartthings connected.
I could NOT get the Mi Home dev app running with Android/iOS apps… So instead I am using SmartThings Hub with DTH (MagicCube), and I do have the Cube connected.

In Smartthings: Cube Outputs 7 button values visible in the Smartthings Logs. There is Name: “Last Action” or “Button” & Value: “Pushed”, “Slide”, “Flip 90” etc, & “Data”: “button1”, “2”, “3”, etc.

In HA: There is a battery sensor with the Cube’s Unique ID: 2fcf9ce1-****-4b39-8120-a720c77f7a50.battery . The only output is “Pushed”, regardless of the event.

So my question is, where is the ST unique event data in HA/how do I use it?

***THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!!! ***

To me this sounds like a HA problem. If you are seeing the events correctly in ST.

Yes, it sure is! I posted there too, but I usually find the info I need related to ST/HA in the ST Community. I was just really hoping that someone may have encountered this, or worked with the DTH and could point me in the right direction. I feel that the DTH may be the key, if I could have the Value’s returned as individual button actions then HA would likely differentiate the events… but I am only guessing!

Everytime I think I’ve found a solution it dead-ends with this one! I am pretty desperate for help at this point! :crazy_face:

I have this exact issue! I asked Home Assistant people and they point at smartthings.

When I look at the events for the Cube it is only showing pushed as the value. So I think it is an issue with the device handler. I am not wise enough to know which part of the DTH to edit though to fix this issue.

EDIT: just looked at your screenshot. Your events look better than mine

@Misty1334 did you find a solution for this in Home Assistant?

I created a smartApp that pushes button number (and other data) to home assistant event api, perhaps that fixes your problem?

Hi, here is my automation :

event_type: tekhass.button
event_data:
  device_id: ab8825ec-c3fd-4e30-8477-13de25bf077d   
  button_number: '21'
  event: pushed

I took device_id and button from Smartthings Logs. Setup Smartapp correctly but I can not trigger anything.
