Hi, I have tried to connect my Xiaomi gateway V3 to both apps “Xiaomi Mie Home” (the one in appstore) and “Mi Homey” (installed through CLI-method). But no success. I have been able to find the token - but using the generate passoword-method in the apps does not work. The process run but in the end I don’t have the password (capture enclosed) I saw a lot of discussions about this problem but some are really old. Maybe someone found a solution? Thanks in advance ! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/0/102ac5317fded8dbdf8218743d563f23072ebc88.jpeg) ---
