When I try with the app it gets to 90% then times out. Thing is though if I try with a tethered phone it works fine - can't leave my phone tethered all the time though. Have tried resetting the gateway about 20 times, but still the same story.

bk wrote: » Yes, pretty straight forward. Add the button in the Xiaomi App and then create two automations on the button: - If button single press, arm gateway - If button double pressed, disarm gateway Separately under the Security settings section, you can set a 30 second exit delay before the system arms. Setting an entry delay is more complicated and a bit buggy, requires work arounds.
iba wrote: » Ok, done all that except the entry delay. But I don't know/don't understand what is actually 'armed'/'disarmed'. How can I see what is 'armed'/'disarmed'?
bk wrote: » Have you set up the security system on it? In the App: 1) Click Auto 2) Click Alert 3) Click Alert trigger condition 4) Select which sensors can trigger the alarm 5) Go back and also set the Delay effective time 6) Under "more settings" you can set the Alarm volume, siren, etc. You can then arm/disarm the alarm system from the first page: "Alert Disabled - Tap to enable it" click this and it will arm the system. You should play around with, just set the alarm volume low and try activating it, triggering the alarm, etc.

I assume to have the sensors connected to Hue i need to set up the home assistant. And hence a raspberry pi is required. these were some expensive €6 door sensors
bk wrote: » Well if you have a Raspberry Pi you could always stick Home Assistant (hass.io) on it and MQTT and this will allow you to talk to the Xiaomi Gateway and use the sensors for other HA tasks.
