Hi, |

Hi, cloud is unreliable, that’s u derstandable, thanks for explanation and tips though.Regarding local connection, maybe I worded it wrong, but the issue isn’t that it’s slow, but it’s not working at all, as opposed to cloud thing which only works sometimes, but at least has signs of life. Local connection will remain unresponsive.Odoslané z iPhonuDňa 15. 8. 2024 o 18:13 užívateľ Marcin ***@***.***> napísal:
Hi,
the issues which you are facing could have multiply reasons. For the cloud issues, it is simply that some servers at some times responds slow and there is literally nothing i can do about that. It helps to switch to a different server if possible, but in general cloud will always feel a bit slower and laggy...
The slow local connection can be due the device being overwhelmed with many requests, which might not necessarily come from homebridge. Maybe you have other devices trying to ping or connect to your fan? The hardware in the fan has poor performance so it can easily get sluggish.
Also slow local network can also cause such issues, so you should check that.
Other then that you can try to reset the fan to factory settings and re-add it with a new token.

As mentioned already, the device has a very slow hardware and when it gets overwhelmed with requests it usually stops responding and only a reset to factory helps, i remember some people already faced such issues in the past. There could be multiple devices on your network which for some reason might want to ping or connect to the device. It can also be observed when you have multiple different home automation software running which all try to pull the state of the device, that also includes connection to devices directly from xiaomi. Those devices are unfortunately not build for heavy stress from multiple different clients. |

Understood. I factory reset it already but it didn’t seem to help, so it might be something else like you are saying.Also, wouldn’t the official app be slow as well if that was the case though (the slowness etc.)?Dňa 15. 8. 2024 o 20:58 užívateľ Marcin ***@***.***> napísal:

For me the official app is usually slower because it mostly uses the cloud as far as i know |
Describe the bug
My Xiaomi Smart fan used to work months back, now however, I am unable to get it work with set through local connection at all. All tokens and IDs are fetched through xiaomi account. Forcing MiCloud connection makes some request work, but mostly just timeouts and repeats trying to reconnect with MiCloud without success. Not sure if there was some change over the last many months with HB, this plugin or Xiaomi fan / firmware. Official Xiaomi Home app works fine though.
Expected behavior
Being able to operate this fan through homebridge.
Your config.json
Debug log
Debug with MiCloud connection force enabled: (as you can see it works for a while and then just starts timeouting. Setting polling rate to 30secs didn't help and anything beyond that would be most likely unusable.)
