Xiaomi Mi Scale

Code to read weight measurements from Xiaomi Body Scales.

BREAKING CHANGE:

Please note that as off 0.2.0, the config is now located in options.json and no longer in the docker-compose / environment Please read on for for more information. This change was necessary to allow for unlimited number of users.

Supported Scales:

Name	Model	Picture
Mi Smart Scale 2	XMTZCO1HM, XMTZC04HM
Mi Body Composition Scale	XMTZC02HM
Mi Body Composition Scale 2	XMTZC05HM

Home Assistant Add-On:

If using Home Assistant (formerly known as hass.io), try instead the Xiaomi Mi Scale Add-On for Home Assistant based on this repository.

Getting the Mac Address of your Scale:

Retrieve the scale's MAC Address from the Xiaomi Mi Fit App:

MAC Address

Setup & Configuration:

Running script with Docker:

Supported platforms:
1. linux/386
2. linux/amd64
3. linux/arm32v6
4. linux/arm32v7
5. linux/arm64v8
Open docker-compose.yml (see below) and edit the environment to suit your configuration...
Stand up the container - docker-compose up -d

docker-compose:

version: '3'
services:

  mi-scale:
    image: lolouk44/xiaomi-mi-scale:latest
    container_name: mi-scale
    restart: always

    network_mode: host
    privileged: true
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
      - /var/run/dbus/:/var/run/dbus/:ro #needed for bleak

options.json:

All the config needs to be in a file named options.json. You can get a copy of one with minimum config here

List of options

Option	Type	Required	Description
MISCALE_MAC	string	Yes	Mac address of your scale
MQTT_HOST	string	Yes	MQTT Server (defaults to 127.0.0.1)
HCI_DEV	string	No	Bluetooth hci device to use. Defaults to hci0
MQTT_PREFIX	string	No	MQTT Topic Prefix. Defaults to miscale
MQTT_USERNAME	string	No	Username for MQTT server (comment out if not required)
MQTT_PASSWORD	string	No	Password for MQTT (comment out if not required)
MQTT_PORT	int	No	Defaults to 1883
MQTT_DISCOVERY	bool	No	MQTT Discovery for Home Assistant Defaults to true
MQTT_DISCOVERY_PREFIX	string	No	MQTT Discovery Prefix for Home Assistant. Defaults to homeassistant
MQTT_TLS_CACERTS	string	No	MQTT TLS connection: directory with CA certificate(s) that signed MQTT Server's TLS certificate, defaults to None (= no TLS connection)
MQTT_TLS_INSECURE	bool	No	MQTT TLS connection: don't verify hostname in TLS certificate, defaults to None (= always check hostname)
BLUEPY_PASSIVE_SCAN	bool	No	Try to set to true if getting an error like `Bluetooth connection error: Failed to execute management command ‘le on’` on a Raspberry Pi. Defaults to false
DEBUG_LEVEL	string	No	Logging level. Possible values: 'CRITICAL', 'ERROR', 'WARNING', 'INFO', 'DEBUG'. Defaults to 'INFO'.
USERS	List	Yes	List of users to add

Auto-gender selection/config -- This is used to create the calculations such as BMI, Water/Bone Mass etc... Here is the logic used to assign a measured weight to a user:

If the weight is within the range of a user's defined values for GT and LT, then it will be assigned (published) to that user.
If the weight matches two separate user ranges, it will only be assigned to the first user that matched (so don't overlap ranges!)

User Option	Type	Required	Description
GT	int	Yes	Greater Than - Weight must be greater than this value - this will be the lower limit for the weight range of this user
LT	int	Yes	Less Than - Weight must be less than this value - this will be the upper limit for the weight range of this user
SEX	string	Yes	male / female
NAME	string	Yes	Name of the user
HEIGHT	int	Yes	Height (in cm) of the user
DOB	string	Yes	DOB (in yyyy-mm-dd format)

Note: The weight definitions must be in the same unit as the scale (kg, Lbs, jin)

Running script directly on your host system:

Note: Python 3.6 or higher is required to run the script manually

Note: this is now deprecated. It would still work provided the path to options.json is manually set in the code manually set path at line 39: with open('/data/options.json') as json_file

Install python requirements (pip3 install -r requirements.txt)
Open wrapper.sh and configure your environment variables to suit your setup.
Add a cron-tab entry to wrapper like so:

@reboot bash /path/to/wrapper.sh

NOTE: Although once started the script runs continuously, it may take a few seconds for the data to be retrieved, computed and sent via mqtt.

Home-Assistant Setup:

Under the sensor block, enter as many blocks as users configured in your environment variables.

mqtt:
  sensor:
    - name: "Example Name Weight"
      state_topic: "miscale/USER_NAME/weight"
      value_template: "{{ value_json['weight'] }}"
      unit_of_measurement: "kg"
      json_attributes_topic: "miscale/USER_NAME/weight"
      icon: mdi:scale-bathroom
      # Below lines only needed if long term statistics are required
      state_class: "measurement"

    - name: "Example Name BMI"
      state_topic: "miscale/USER_NAME/weight"
      value_template: "{{ value_json['bmi'] }}"
      icon: mdi:human-pregnant
      unit_of_measurement: "kg/m2"
      # Below lines only needed if long term statistics are required
     state_class: "measurement"
