Preperation

To receive the gateway json messages on your network you need to enable the developer mode, aka LAN mode in the gateway.

A UDP input node is needed to receive the json messages. An UDP output node to send command's to the gateway.

To control the Wifi-Plug, extensive use is made of the miio library created by Andreas Holstenson. Make sure to check his page for compatible devices.

Install

cd ~\.node-red
npm install node-red-contrib-xiaomi-devices

Usage

From the Xiaomi configurator screen add your different devices by selecting the type of device and a readable description. The readable discription is used on the different edit screen of the nodes to easily select the device you associate to the node.

Note that the Wifi power plug is not configured through the configurator as it is not connected to the gateway.

The Xiaomi configurator screen with ease of use to configure your different devices.

Tip: use the configurator from the side-panel (hamburger menu, configuration nodes) to manage your devices. Node-red doesn't update underlying edit screens if the configuration panel is opened / closed from the edit node screen. (If you do, you need to first close the edit node screen and reopen it by double-clicking the node you want to edit the properties for.)

Here an example of how to use the different nodes.

Roadmap

• Support for other devices like the smart-socket WiFi Done!
• Import (new) devices directly from the gateway
