- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 มิ.ย. 2024
- **UPDATE: A few users pointed out an easier way to retrieve your tokens: github.com/PiotrMachowski/Xia... **
Today's video is a part 2 to last week's review video on the Roborock S5 MAX. This method should work for ALL Roborock vacuums (possibly even the Xaiomi ones). Please leave feedback if this worked for your model of vacuum.
We look at how to move the vacuum to the MiHome app, retrieve the token from the MiHome app and then how to set up the vacuum in Home Assistant. I did also include some optional cards that move a lot of the functionality from MiHome to Home Assistant.
I am not affiliated and not currently sponsored by Roborock. I just needed a new vacuum!
❓What future topics would you like me to cover??❓

This is one of the best explained tutorials I've ever seen. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Agreed!
I just setup a HA instance last night, and was looking for a guide. This helped me immensely, and I'm brand new. Great video! I had this up an running in no time thanks to you!
Welcome to the club! I will warn you, pretty soon you will be searching around for more stuff to integrate with HA. It is addicting!
Very explicit tutorial, thank you Sir!
Also if you can made the vacuum go to a room if the door sensor sends a signal it's open at certain time or abort that room and notify if a room it's left unclean.
That is a good idea. Right now I am not sure if you can do that granular of a change. I do have a door sensor on the closet where mine lives. If that door is closed and I try and run the vacuum I get a message from the house. It also will not automatically run unless the door is opened.
Amazing tutorial, please keep them coming!!!
Thank you! Will do!
Great video! Thanks for sharing my vacuum-card!
Thanks for making such a useful card!
Thanks for taking the time to do this video, it would really help a lot of people. But if you want to control your vacuum locally and stop it from sending info to China, use "valetudo" on the vacuum. This modification releases your vacuum cleaner from the internet cloud, gives it local network control, you can use custom HA cards & maps etc.
I looked into that as well but it doesn't support my S5 Max. Thanks for the comment!
@@ThisSmartHouse Sorry about that. Indeed, Files are encrypted on later models.
great! two questions: how to choose a room, not a zone,
and how to enlarge the map?
Excellent guide. Works for me!
So glad it helped!
Solved. it was my failure to put the entity,
thank you
Worked for me, Thank you AGAIN!!!
So glad it helped!
Thanks! I just started an Home Assistant project 2 days ago and this was so helpful to integrate my S5 MAX.
Awesome! What project are you working on?
@@ThisSmartHouse I want to integrate all smart devices on Home assistant. Now I'm using a basic surveillance camera connected via WiFi with google assistant. I synced this camera from home assistant with google assistant and now I can see this camera in Home app. And now I'm saying to my google "show "camera" on chromecast", and it's working. I have a house with 2 floors and I want to "transform" my house to an smart home.
I also used an old android device, i installed some ip camera app on it and I integrated this camera on home assistant, and with home assistant config.yaml I can access focus, torch and other things from home assistant. On my floor plan now I can turn android torch, focus, night vision on or off using home assistant.
Very cool. Cameras are a big part especially of you have little ones. One of the things I really love about my smart home is motion controlled lights, makes me feel like I live in the future.
@@ThisSmartHouse would you please make some videos about motion control lights
Sure. In home assistant? Anything special about the lights (turn off after x minutes, different light levels for different times of day)?
This info is Gold. Thanks a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent tutorial, thanks mate
I am glad it helped.
Thank you for great tutorial
Very good video. I enjoyed every minute of it.
I had previously tried to get tis installed but had too many issues and stop to work on other things.
Followed you step by step and got it up and working about 99%.
Just wanted to let you know there is an app on PiotrMachowski
/Xiaomi-cloud-tokens-extractor github site (token_extractor.exe) that allows you to login and get the ID, IP address and token in a very clear format. Just an FYI.
Thanks for the time you spent preparing this video.
Thank you so much, it means a lot! I will have to check out that exe to how it works. I am surprised I missed it (or they added if after I started). Thanks for the tip!
at the very end of the video where you make the custom code for the vacuum map card, i got your code from your linked website. i had to change it from vacuum.xiaomi_vacuum to vacuum.xiaomi_vacuum_cleaner to match my entity name. not sure if anyone else had that problem. all worked except sending commands to the vacuum from that card. that addition of _cleaner fixed it! thanks so much for the video, brother!
Awesome! Yes entity names could be different. Glad you got it sorted. I might add a note to my website about that.
Thank You for everything!
You are welcome!
Thank you for a great tutorial! Awesome work!
Be advised that you show your token at 24:55. Just a heads up.
Gahhh. I didn't realize it showed those in plain text. Well that is my test environment but it is my vacuum. I will just factory reset it. Thanks for the heads up!
works like a charm!
So glad it worked for you!
Thanks for a great guide, but after following a few steps I noticed that you just need to add the intergration to HA and enter your credentials and then the vacuum was added to the HA. But I followed other steps and it was great help. Thanks again for a good video.
I think the hardest part is getting the credentials.
Yeah. I tried using the other method you posted in the description. But I had to follow the guide to add the map and to icon to Lovelace. So I couldn't have done it without you!
I wish there was a way I could update videos after I post them. Because a lot of times I'll make a video and then something will immediately change or somebody points out a better way of doing it.
Nice tutorial, thanks. Does the configuration support multi mapping? I use two maps, one for downstairs, the other for upstairs. Would that work in home assistant?
I don't think so. Because there is no switch in HA to change the map. However, I think if you would load a saved map in MiHome, it should show up in HA. I haven't tested it though.
very good
Great tutorial!
Do you know if this would work if the vacuum is on a vlan that doesn't have internet access? I'm guessing you couldn't do the map card as that gets its information from the mi cloud.
Thank you. I would think that if the vacuum cannot access the internet then you would not be able to view the map. I would guess it stores the map on board but I am sure it uses cloud services to make the map human readable.
Hello,I like this video. Congratuletions. Is this configuration ok for roborock s5 or s50?
I think it should work for any roborock vacuum or xiaomi one that uses the mihome app. Try it and let me know.
Hello, Tx's for this great and good explained tutorial. I have a little proble with the map....when i show several users map on internet they have have great looking map for their home (like engeenering maps), my one is horrible. So where is the problem? it's that my roborock S5 is too old for having a clean map, it's a configuration problem? does other build their own map using some tools?
Greetings from France and stay safe
Great video - huge help! Do you know if it's possible to somehow link the rooms I have defined in MiHome to Home Assistant, so that I can send the robot to specific rooms? It'd be great if you could just tap on the rooms and it goes there like it does in the MiHome app.
Thanks for the comment! You might want to check here: community.home-assistant.io/t/howto-xiaomi-vacuum-zoned-cleaning/51293
It looks like you have to define zones in ha and then you can program the vacuum to clean a room.
I haven't tried it yet, but maybe it will be a future video...
Thanks for the clear video :) I have one more question. Is it also possible to change the (blue) background color?
Of the map? I think it is part of the theme that is applied to Home Assistant.
For those having the "custom element doesn't exist" error, just press F5/refresh. Yes, that actually makes a difference. Also check that you don't have two different homeassistant folders - I had for some reason, and I was placing the .js file in the wrong folder.
Thank you
You are welcome!
Currently doing this with my new S6 (never set up in roborock app, this tutorial is first thing I've done after opening the box). The token wasn't in that file, but I found it in that subfolder called 'plug_DeviceManager'.
Glad you found it. Might be different for the newer vacuums.
Hi, great job ;)
How do I set the vacuum cleaner fixed ip?
because whenever the router restarts the ip changes.
Thank you so much. I would recommend that you set a static address on your router. Most all routers support this function. I would just Google “[ROUTER NAME] set static dhcp address”.
Great video, is there away getting room cleaning like in the app and the camera from s6 maxv?
I think you can do room cleaning by designating the rooms by coordinate location. It is in the documentation but I haven't done it yet. I have it planned for an upcoming video. What is the difference with the camera on the s6max?
@@ThisSmartHouse Okey, then I will wait excitedly. I mean the S6 maxv has a camera you can watch from the phone, maybe the s5 aswell not sure. But i want to be avled to reach it from HA, good when u got pets.
Are you familiar with methodology around getting/saving 2 maps w/ the extractor (2 separate vacuums)? I've setup secrets for host1/token1 and host2/token2, but I can't figure out how to differentiate them from one another. I setup 2 cards, but the cards are identical, even though they impact separate vacuums. Fairly new to HA, so I'm slowly trying things to see if I can make it work :-)
I am going to try and test the "multi-level" feature on my robot and see if the map extractor is smart enough to just swap over. So if it works, I will make a part 2 to my video. Keep trying, you will be surprised at what you can do with Home Assistant.
Hello!
Great, thank you!
But here's the problem: there is a power setting for the vacuum cleaner, but no setting for washing the floor!
For this reason, I can’t set up cleaning: first vacuum, then wash! ((
Any thoughts on solving the problem?
Wow, this is awesome!!!
27:32
Is there a way to save such zones and use them whit a buttom?
So that I can have a button in HomeAssistant and the cleaner will clean the predifined zones?
E.g. Button "Clean under the tables."
-> It cleans on the predefined zones, under the livingroom table, the dining room table, ...
I am looking to make a PT 2 video. I think it is possible I just need to figure it out.

You are welcome!
Thanks for this nice tutorial. I just bought his vacuum. Is there any benefit of installing the Roborock app first and then move to the Mi home or just use the Mi home in the first place?
I don't think you gain anything by starting with the Roborock app. I know if you switch apps, then the town changes. If it were me, I would just start with Mi Home.
@@ThisSmartHouse Thank you
Thanks for this! I couldn’t actually get the HACS installer to work so… 🤣
What error did you get?
@@ThisSmartHouse first of all- I haven’t used home assistant for a while so I’m a bit rusty. But I finally figured out how to download and install the card via HACS (app of the tutorials were a bit outdated) but the card didn’t show up in Lovelace to add. So o download the .js to drop it in the config file and it appeared to be already there (presumably from HACS) but The card wasn’t exposed until I added the .yaml… stuff. 🤷🏼♂️ working now!
In the Mi Home application I can setup a schedule with auto level recognition. Can this level recognition be done via one of the services offered by this integration?
By auto level, you mean detecting which floor it is on? I don't think that is controlled by the integration but the vacuum itself. I haven't tired it yet. I would think if you have set up multiple floors in the app, it would just change the map once the bot detected it was on a new floor.
Hey, any idea how to "zoom in" the map? It looks so tiny I can hardly zone cleanup!
You can click on the map and it gets a bit bigger, but yeah, that is a complaint I hear. Maybe add a GitHub issue to the devs repo?
thanks a lot for that tutorial - i could need somehelp tho.
For some reason the custom vacuum card wont show up adding it. I couldn't find it in HACS as well. Any ideas?
Did your add it manually? I always have weirdness with hacs.
@@ThisSmartHouse I tried it both ways. after some time it showed up tho. right now having the same problem with the map - i am waiting now in case it will show up eventually
I assume you have restarted HA? Are you getting any errors in the logs?
If you wqere to just get it into home assistant would it be local control only. The Home Assistant docs for Mihome seems to suggesr that it is local polling.
Do I lose any functions if I stop there, assuming I don't use the app any further and restrict its access to the cloud?
I believe it is local control because it is communicating with the internal ip address. You might lose things like multiple maps, but there wouldn't be any harm in trying. Maybe a firewall rule?
Figured out how to use multiple maps and clean segments (rooms) directly
1. Name all your rooms in the MiHome App
2. pip install python-miio on a linux machine
3. Run command to get rooms on current map - miiocli device --ip --token raw_command get_room_mapping
4. Run command to change map - miiocli device --ip --token raw_command load_multi_map [1]
(for me it was just 0,1,2)
5. Run command again to get rooms on each map
6. Match rooms to ID by starting cleaning in each room
7. Create script for each map/floor that calls service "vacuum: send command", target = your vacuum device, command = load_multi_map, parameters = - 0
8. Create script for each room that calls service "vacuum: send command", target = your vacuum device, command = app_segment_clean, parameters = ROOMID
9. Create script that 1 calls map change, delay 5 second, segment clean for each room
I'm sure their is a more efficient way.. that just works for now.
I hadn't tried that python-miio. That seems like it might be a better way, but a bit more complicated for some users. Thanks for pointing it out!
I'm thankful for this great tutorial. But unfortunately, I can't get it working.
When I'm looking into the log file there's no 'token' in the whole document.
I've downloaded and installed the Xiaomi Home app, and the old app in Bluestacks.
I don't know what could go wrong. Only thing to mention is that in the new app I can chose for "the Netherlands" whereas in the old one I can only select "Europe".
But the Roborock shows up so I don't think that is the problem.
Nv. got it working. Needed the other log file to retrieve the token
Great tutorial! :D
Why do I get error Custom element doesn't exist: xiaomi-vacuum-map-card at 26 minutes and on? what am i missing?
Have you reloaded (Ctrl + F5)? Did you install manual or via HACS.
@@ThisSmartHouse ah, my bad... bad copying :) in resources was under URL : "resources: - url: /local/custom_lovelace/xiaomi_vacuum_map_card/xiaomi-vacuum-map-card.js"
thanks!
Oh that happens! Glad you got it sorted.
After putting the "camera" snippet to my config yaml, the COnfiguration Validation takes forever and I'm not able to restart the Server :(
Okay got it!
I moved files to the wrong directory - thank you!
How do you edit the condiguration.yaml in the web interface? I can't find a way to do this
You have a few options if you just want to use the web browser. You can install the terminal addon with the web interface and edit it in command line. You can also use the File Editor addon to directly edit the files in the browser.
Great video. Thanks a lot.
But my S5Max doesn't get the stats.
Did everything and the card won't show it. Thanks
Can you see the vacuum and it's information in the developer tools?
@@ThisSmartHouse can see the vacuum. The info i don't now how to.
So you installed the vacuum card and cannot add the vacuum to it? Or when you add the vacuum to the card you don't get the extended information?
@@ThisSmartHouse don't get extended info. Like, time remain brush, Side brunch, etc...but can see the in dev tools
Ah. And you are using the custom vacuum card? It might be easier to help you if you join our discord server. tshouse.link/discord
Is it possible to change its mopping power? Or choose on/off mopping as possible in the app?
On mine, the mopping doesn't have any control. If the mopping plate it on, it is in mop mode. I know in the MiHome app you can adjust the water use, but I don't think that is in Home Assistant.
I used the token extractor script, added the correct info to my YAML file, but when I restart my home assistant server, the vacuum doesn't show up... what can i do to debug this?
Do you see any errors in your HA logs? Did you use the method from the video or the exe from the developer?
Can someone shortly explain to me why to do all these steps for adding those devices into HomeAssistant? Which is the point? What else can you do beside MiHome app? I have them into MiHome then MiHome skill in Alexa. What other benefits does this HomeAssistant has?
The main thing would be to have a "one stop shop" to interact with your home. The big thing I like is being able to use Home Assistant to trigger the vacuum when I leave the house or go to bed. I can have Home Assistant send me notifications in Telegram that I can interact with (ex: Hey the house is empty, do you want to run the vacuum? Yes / No). So it just expands the things you can do.
How can i run multiple commands on the xiaomi vacuum?
Once i run automation with multiple commands, it just does the first command and that's it...
An example would be:
1. Change fan speed to quite
2. go to [X,Y]
3. Change fan speed to turbo
4. Clean area [x,y,z,w]
That way, it doesn't start in turbo mode, driving through the house to reach it's target and making a lot of noise, rather it's making noise only when it cleans.
How do i do that?
I think you have to command it to stop. I noted that to transition between commands, you need to tell the vacuum to come to a stop, then it will do another command.
@@ThisSmartHouse It might be only for when it's during a process because now i don't tell it to stop, i just "wait" till it's idle and then i was able to command it to clean.
Will this also work with multiple vacuums ?
It should, you just need to add each vacuum to the integration in home assistant.
Thanks for this. I learned a lot!
but when I try to add the map card, I get the "Custom element doesn't exist: xiaomi_vacuum-map_card." mesage. Any idea what I can do to fix this?
Excellent, glad to help!!
That usually means your browser has an old copy of the lovelace frontend. Three things to try, check if the card loads after each:
1. Hold down CTRL (CMD on Mac) and then F5.
2. Restart home assistant and close out of your browser.
3. Clear cache in your browser.
@@ThisSmartHouse Thank you for quick reply. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work.
How did you install the card? Via the manual method or HACS? If you want to make things fool proof, I recommend watching my HACS install video. HACS is a much faster way of installing front end elements. Here is the video: th-cam.com/video/wZLOTzpiELs/w-d-xo.html
@@ThisSmartHouse I installed the map extractor using hacs, but I couldn't find the map card, so I installed it through the terminal, as the developer suggested, making sure the names were added correctly
I think it is in the front end section by default. So if you click on the front end tab in HACS and then click the add button at the bottom right. Then search for "Lovelace Xiaomi Vacuum Map Card". Let me know if that works or if you still have issues. You might want to join the discord server, that way I can answer you faster. tshouse.link/discord
cant find the .js files in the zip folder (have unpacked the file)
What step are you stuck on?
I followed your tutorial but both "Go to target" and "Zoned Cleanup" show "Command sent!" but nothing happens. Is this happening to someone else?
EDIT: I had the wrong entity configure. Now it's working. Btw, is there a way to have the map bigger? I find it difficult to choose an area. Also, there is no room functionality right?
I know you can click on the map to view it bigger but that won't help if you are trying to use the commands. Maybe this custom component would help: github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card
As far as room function, let me look into it. To be honest I haven't used the HA interface to control mine, I just tell Google to make it clean.
I cant get the custom map card to work - I'm always receiving an error saying "Custom element doesn't exist: xiaomi-vacuum-map-card" although I can confirm that the .js file is inside /www/custom_lovelace/xiaomi_vacuum_map_card/ . Hints?
Have you forced refresh the browser? Or maybe rebooted home assistant.
@@ThisSmartHouse already did both :-(
Did you add it to your Lovelace manually like I show in the video? I always have issues with adding it via the UI.
@@ThisSmartHouse yep, did it exacly like you did in the video... I'm using version 2021.5.5 - might this be the issue?
Did you make sure the files have the correct extension? I have had that issue with the .js file.
it seeams this dosent work anymore :/ ? my homeassitant does recognice the vaccumum via the xiaomii home integration directly without token by name - but there is no data available and doing it manualy via the config file as in this video, it detects nothing, not even the device itself :/
okay, figured it out - it was the different subnet i put my roborock s7 into - using the same subnet it works like a charm :)
Ah. Discovery doesn't work across subnets.
@@ThisSmartHouse yes - and the roborock won’t listen to commands from another subnet
Cannot ads camera in config.yaml, check config is just spining, cannot restart HA. I know ading camera in config.yaml is deprecated.
You might want to check the GitHub for this project he may have updated the documentation after they moved camera configuration to the UI. You should be able to go in and add a camera in the integrations area under settings
unable to set up i keep getting an error on checking config:

I have heard a few people have issues with the token extractor. Are you getting any log entries?
@@ThisSmartHouse Hi, I am also getting the issue where the vacuum always says Unavailable in HA card. I also used the token extraction tool, but I didn't have issues with it, it just connects Mi Home server (or whatever is) and lists all devices (including current IP and token). I used that data to fill up my HA config file. But it doesn't work. While I was watching your video I was hoping to see a step that I might have missed, but that was not the case.

So when to go to the entries screen in the dev tools in home assistant, there is no data on the vacuum.xiaomi_vacuum? Which vacuum do you have? Is your HA instance on the same subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.x) as the vacuum?
@@ThisSmartHouse I have the Xiaomi 1C STYTJ01ZHM
Did you check for other entities for vacuum? it seems some vacuums generate a different entity ID then when I showed in the video.
This is such a great video, but I failed to get it working.
I get "ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.bootstrap] Error setting up integration vacuum - received exception".
This thread seems to be unresolved, too:
github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/36618
I got the token from the exe file you mentioned after you've uploaded the video, and the IP too. I confirmed it's the same IP that is registered on my router admin page.
any thoughts on what could be wrong and how to resolve this?
I should mention that I'm extremely new at HA. And using HA on windows, via the portable version by AlexxIT:

Have you tried retrieving the token as suggested in the video? I know it more complicated but I tested it a few times to make sure it works.
@@ThisSmartHouse I ended up not using the emulator to get the token, but used the extractor with a wide search parameter (just don't choose a server - it will then look in all of them). Finally, it found TWO(?!) tokens, and the second one worked.
Thank you for a great, GREAT video. I now have it working.
