Roborock s5 handshake timeout

Devices
1

I am trying to connect my Roborock S5 vacuum with Homey. I retrieved the roborock token by installing an older version of the mihome app. I am also using the correct ip adres. Unfortunately Homey says ‘could not connect to device, handshake timeout’. Anyone know how to solve this issue?

I did exactly that yesterday and it worked. Ran into another problem soon after, if you get your problem let me know :slight_smile:
I followed the following process for the token:

  1. First had the latest MiHome app installed on Adriod Device 1 and working for about 4 weeks
  2. Then asked user file from MiHome like someone suggested. The file did not contain the token.
  3. The modified MiHome app did not want to install on Andriod Devices 1 and 2 but the 3rd worked and I got the token (as I assume you did).
  4. Inserted the token on Homey on 1st device and it connected. MiHome app on Device 1 also still working.
  5. IP address i got from my router where it is also set to keep the current IP and not auto.

Maybe something is of use for you.

Delete the old log file. Install the old app again and get the token again. Mine changed once.

Same problem here, tried all the steps. Token should be right, via iobroker i can get a connection.
Tried from different devices Android and iOS.

One Xiaomi 1st. Gen and one S50 Roborock.

Any idea?

For anyone wondering if it works with Homey Pro 2023, I finally got it working.

  1. First I locked my Roborock S5 to an IP address on my network with my router.
  2. Then I removed the Roborock S5 from Mi Home by using the mobile app on my phone, and then re-added it (it should maintain the same IP address because most routers reference the MAC address, but if it doesn’t, lock the IP address to the new one assigned and use the new one here-on-out).
  3. Next, I used the Get Mi Home Devices Token app (Method 1) to get the latest token. My first attempt timed out, but I tried it again, and it retrieved the new token.
  4. Then I entered that new token into my Homey device details for a Roborock Advanced Vacuum Cleaner device under Xiaomi Mi Home selection.
  5. Then it succeeded.

I have updated my instructions in my previous post. There is a WIKI support page on the various methods to retrieve the token for the vacuum on the GitHub repository for this project. I used Method 1 and downloaded the Mac version of the app.
