Successfully Resolving Xiaomi Sensor Update Issues

General
1

I recently encountered an issue with my Xiaomi sensors where the sensor values were not refreshing. After some research and troubleshooting, I found a solution that worked for me. Here’s what I did:

  1. Reset Network Settings: I reset the network settings on my Xiaomi gateway through the MI HOME app. This helped in re-establishing a stable connection.

  2. Regenerate Keys: I regenerated the keys from both my iOS and Android devices. This step ensured that the gateway and sensors were using the latest and correct authentication keys.

  3. Configuration Check: I reviewed my configuration file to ensure everything was set up correctly. Here’s a snippet of my working configuration:

yaml
xiaomi_aqara:
discovery_retry: 10
gateways:
- host: YOUR_GATEWAY_IP
mac: !secret xiaomi_mac
key: !secret xiaomi_key

  1. Testing: After making these changes, I tested the sensors to ensure they were updating correctly. The values started refreshing as expected.
