A Python library and accompanying miiocli console tool for controlling Xiaomi smart home appliances over the miIO and MIoT protocols. It supports device discovery, cloud token retrieval, and integration with projects like Home Assistant.

Use cases

  • control xiaomi smart devices from python
  • get xiaomi device tokens from cloud account
  • control mi vacuum or air purifier from command line
  • integrate xiaomi appliances with home assistant
  • send commands to miot devices on local network
  • discover xiaomi devices on lan

When to choose

  • you need to programmatically control Xiaomi miIO/MIoT devices
  • you want a CLI to interact with Xiaomi appliances
  • you are building a Home Assistant integration for Xiaomi devices

When to avoid

  • you need official vendor support or cloud API guarantees
  • your device is not Xiaomi or uses a different protocol
  • you need a stable 0.6 release for modern MIoT devices (still in pre-release refactoring)
