Home Assistant

Xiaomi router

The xiaomi platform offers presence detection by looking at connected devices to a Xiaomi router.

Setup

To use an Xiaomi router in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
  - platform: xiaomi
    host: YOUR_ROUTER_IP
    password: YOUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD

Configuration Variables

Looking for your configuration file?
host string Required

The IP address of your router, e.g., 192.168.0.1.

username string (Optional, default: admin)

The admin username.

password string Required

The password for the admin account.

See the device tracker integration page for instructions how to configure the people to be tracked.

Compatibility test

To ensure that your router is compatible, navigate to http://YOUR_ROUTER_IP/api/misystem/devicelist. You should see a listing of the device currently connected to your router.

However, some users report that even when the previous URL does not work, they have been able to integrate their Mi Router 3 in Home Assistant. E.g., some users with the Mi Router 3 and firmware version 2.10.46 Stable have integrated their routers successfully and an alternative URL to test integration with is http://YOUR_ROUTER_IP/cgi-bin/luci/api/misystem/devicelist. Navigating to this page should show the {"code":401,"msg":"Invalid token"} message.
