What it does

  • Logs into your Xiaomi account with a QR code and lists your homes and devices.
  • Finds a device did and reads/writes properties such as on, brightness, color-temperature, and color.
  • Enforces a safe order of operations: run --get_device_info MODEL first to learn which properties and value ranges the device actually supports.
  • Triggers Mi Home scenes and includes troubleshooting for login failures, missing devices, and rejected property values.

Who it's for

  • Owners of Xiaomi/Mi Home lights, plugs, and appliances who want to control them from a terminal or Claude Code.
  • Developers embedding smart-home actions into scripts and automation workflows.
  • Anyone who wants a quick device status check without opening the mobile app.

Example uses

  1. "Turn on the living room lamp" → list devices with python -m mijiaAPI -l, grab the did, then set --prop_name on --value True.
  2. "Dim the bedroom light to 30" → check the range via --get_device_info, then set --prop_name brightness --value 30.
  3. "Run my 'coming home' scene" → python -m mijiaAPI --run_scene "回家".
