{% linkable_title Retrieving the Access Token %}

As per [`python-miio` issue 185](https://github.com/rytilahti/python-miio/issues/185) the Android Mi Home app no longer stores the token within the database (it's retrieved from Xiaomi servers from version 5.0.31+). Currently, the only known fix is to uninstall, then install a downgraded version of the apk. Apkmirror is a trusted source for older versions of the app. [Mi-Home version 5.0.30](https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/xiaomi-inc/mihome/mihome-5-0-30-release/) is confirmed as working for the following Android methods. Using an older version than 5.0.30 is not recommended as it might lack support for some newer devices like the Roborock S50.

The iPhone app still stores the token in the SQLite db as of v4.10.2 (Dec 22, 2018).

This token (32 hexadecimal characters) is required for the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum, Mi Robot 2 (Roborock) 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 easily via a hidden menu item at the Mi-Home app or using the `miio` command line tool.

{% linkable_title Miio command line tool %}

You can install the command line tool using the following command:

npm install -g miio

Discovering devices on the current network:

miio discover

This will list devices that are connected to the same network as your computer. Let it run for a while so it has a chance to reach all devices, as it might take a minute or two for all devices to answer.

The commands outputs each device on this format:

Device ID: 48765421
Model info: zhimi.airpurifier.m1
Address: 192.168.100.9
Token: token-as-hex-here via auto-token
Support: At least basic

The information output is:

• Device ID - The unique identifier of the device, does not change if the device is reset.
• Model ID- The model id if it could be determined, this indicates what type of device it is.
• Address - The IP that the device has on the network.
• Token - The token of the device or ??? if it could not be automatically determined.

{% linkable_title Windows and Android %}

To fetch the token follow these instructions depending on your mobile phone platform.

1. Configure the robot with the Mi-Home app.
2. Download and extract the MiToolKit.zip.
3. Enable developer mode and USB debugging on the Android phone and plug it into the computer.
4. Change the MiToolKit language to English if you need to.
5. Click "Extract Token".
6. On the phone, you must confirm the backup. DO NOT enter any password and press the button to make the backup.
7. Once you have confirmed the backup the token extraction will begin, it should appear in the MiToolKit shortly.
8. If you don't get a token, close MiToolKit completely, delete the folder MiToolkit\apps\com.xiaomi.smarthome and relaunch MiToolKit to force recreate a new backup (sometimes the files would not be overwritten before deleting the old ones).

{% linkable_title Linux and Android (not rooted) %}

Follow the pairing process using your phone and Mi-Home app. You will be able to retrieve the token from an SQLite file inside your phone.

Before you begin you need to install libffi-dev and libssl-dev by running the command below. This is needed for python-miio to be installed correctly.

sudo apt-get install libffi-dev libssl-dev

If your Home Assistant installation is running in a virtualenv, make sure you activate it by running the commands below.

sudo -u homeassistant -H -s
source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate

To fetch the token follow these instructions depending on your mobile phone platform.

1. Configure the robot with the Mi-Home app.
2. Enable developer mode, USB debugging and plug the Android phone into the computer.
3. Get ADB by running apt-get install android-tools-adb or apt-get install adb.
4. adb devices should list your device. Consult the ADB manual if necessary.
5. Issue a backup command via adb: adb backup -noapk com.xiaomi.smarthome -f backup.ab (set a password if prompted on your phone). Some devices may require single quotes in the command adb backup '-noapk com.xiaomi.smarthome -f backup.ab'.
6. Download the 'ADB Backup Extractor'.
7. Extract the data from the backup: (enter the password, if prompted)

   java -jar Android\ Backup\ Utilities/Android\ Backup\ Extractor/android-backup-extractor-20171005-bin/abe.jar unpack backup.ab unpacked.tar
   

8. Untar the unpacked data: tar -xvf unpacked.tar.
9. The following command returns the token for your Xiaomi vacuum bot:

   sqlite3 apps/com.xiaomi.smarthome/db/miio2.db 'select token from devicerecord where name like "%Vacuum%";'
   

{% linkable_title Linux and Android (rooted!) %}

Follow the pairing process using your phone and Mi-Home app. You will be able to retrieve the token from an SQLite file inside your phone.

Before you begin you need to install libffi-dev and libssl-dev by running the command below. This is needed for python-miio to be installed correctly.

sudo apt-get install libffi-dev libssl-dev
