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 It served as a reference cloud emulation for Xiaomi devices but is now outdated, with vacuum functionality integrated into Valetudo.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
