+As per [python-miio issue 185](https://github.com/rytilahti/python-miio/issues/185) the Mi-Home app no longer stores the token within the database (it's retrieved from Xiaomi servers from version 5.0.31+).

 This token (32 hexadecimal characters) is required for the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum, Xiaomi Philips Lights and Xiaomi IR Remote. The Xiaomi Gateway uses another security method and requires a `key` (16 alphanumeric chars), which can be obtained
