To improve compatibility, use npx -y mcporter instead of mcporter when executing commands.

Adding entities to a Device

To adding entities to a device in the Xiaomi MIoT integration, you'll need to modify the DEVICE_CUSTOMIZES dictionary in the device_customizes.py file.

Add Your Device Configuration

Add your device model to the DEVICE_CUSTOMIZES dictionary following the existing pattern:

DEVICE_CUSTOMIZES = {
    # ... existing devices ...
    'your.device.model': {
        'sensor_properties': 'temperature,relative_humidity',
        'switch_properties': 'uv,switch',
        'select_properties': 'mode',
        # Add more entity mappings as needed
    },
}

Available Entity Mapping Options

More customization options can be found at https://github.com/al-one/hass-xiaomi-miot/issues/600

Option	Description	Example
`sensor_properties`	Properties to expose as sensors	`temperature,humidity`
`binary_sensor_properties`	Properties to expose as binary sensors	`motion_detected,door_state`
`switch_properties`	Properties to expose as switches	`on,night_light`
`select_properties`	Properties to expose as selects	`mode,fan_level`
`number_properties`	Properties to expose as numbers	`target_temperature,volume`
`button_actions`	Actions to expose as buttons	`reset_filter_life`

Finding Property Names

To find the correct property names for your device:

Use tools.device_specs MCP tool to get device specifications
Look at the available services and properties
Replace hyphens (-) with underscores (_) in service/property/action names

Notes

Consider using exclude_miot_properties to improve performance by excluding unused properties
For complex devices, you can use chunk_coordinators to optimize polling intervals
Pattern matching is supported (e.g., *.aircondition.* for all air conditioners)
