A research project for reverse engineering and rooting Xiaomi Smart Home devices, including robot vacuums, providing methods to root devices without breaking the warranty seal. It served as a reference cloud emulation for Xiaomi devices but is now outdated, with vacuum functionality integrated into Valetudo.
Use cases
- root xiaomi vacuum robot without voiding warranty
- reverse engineer xiaomi smart home devices
- emulate xiaomi cloud locally
- flash custom firmware on xiaomi vacuum
- cut xiaomi vacuum off from cloud
- hack xiaomi iot devices
When to choose
- researching Xiaomi IoT device security or firmware internals
- needing historical documentation, teardowns, and UART logs for Xiaomi devices
- studying cloud emulation approaches for smart home devices
When to avoid
- wanting a maintained local control solution for Xiaomi vacuum robots - use Valetudo instead
- looking for actively supported rooting instructions for current devices
- needing a general-purpose Xiaomi device control library - use python-miio instead
