Mi Home Devices Library

Control Mi Home devices via local network or cloud.

Supported devices

See DEVICES.md for full list of supported devices.

Installation

npm install node-mihome

Usage

const mihome = require('node-mihome');

Some devices aren't supported over local protocol (miIO) so you need to use cloud protocol (MIoT) to control those devices. User and password for Mi Account is required to use cloud protocol.

Init protocols

// local miIO
mihome.miioProtocol.init();

// local Aqara (ZigBee)
mihome.aqaraProtocol.init();

// cloud MIoT
const username = 'email@example.com';
const password = 'password';
await mihome.miCloudProtocol.login(username, password);

Example cloud methods

const options = { country: 'cn' }; // 'ru', 'us', 'tw', 'sg', 'cn', 'de' (Default: 'cn')
await mihome.miCloudProtocol.getDevices(null, options); // return all devices from your acount with all information (deviceId, token, model ...) to create device in the next step
await mihome.miCloudProtocol.getDevices([deviceId1, deviceId2, ...], options); // get devices information from list ids
await mihome.miCloudProtocol.miioCall(deviceId, method, params, options); // call miio method with params via cloud protocol

Create device

const device = mihome.device({
  id: '100000', // required, device id
  model: 'zhimi.aircondition.v1', // required, device model

  address: '192.168.31.13', // miio-device option, local ip address
  token: 'abcdefgfabcdefgfabcdefgfabcdefgf', // miio-device option, device token
  refresh: 30000 // miio-device option, device properties refresh interval in ms
  
  parent: '1234abcd', // aqara-device option, gateway SID for aqara-protocol compatible device
});
device.on('properties', (data) => {
  console.log(data);
});
await device.setPower(true); // call the method
await device.init(); // connect to device and poll for properties
device.destroy();

List of properties and methods for specific device can be found at ./devices folder.

Comparison to other popular libraries

	node-mihome	miio
Implements miIO local protocol	yes	yes
Implements MIoT cloud protocol: easy device token retrieval, many useful device information, control devices over internet, control devices which cannot be controlled from LAN, supports new devices e.g. Mi Air Purifier 3, etc.	yes	no
Implements Aqara protocol (for ZigBee devices)	full	only read properties
Number of supported devices, including new ones	large and counting	medium
Library update frequency	medium	a long time since last update

Roadmap

• Implement miio-protocol: https://github.com/OpenMiHome/mihome-binary-protocol/blob/master/doc/PROTOCOL.md
• Implement aqara-protocol: http://docs.opencloud.aqara.com/en/development/gateway-LAN-communication/
• Implement micloud-protocol: cloud login, access device information (model, token, ...), update device, ...
• Implement ble-protocol for Bluetooth based devices
• Documentation
• Add support for more Mi ecosystem devices

Reporting an issue and new devices support requests

Please report all issues you have found. Also, feel free to request support for new devices. Thanks!
