How to find out the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum token: all ways to get in 2026

Xiaomi’s robot vacuum cleaners have become an integral part of smart homes, but their full integration with third-party applications (such as Home Assistant, ioBroker or Node-RED) often requires a special device token. API, But Xiaomi's official documentation is silent on how to get it, leaving users looking for solutions.

In this article, we will analyze all the current methods of extracting the token for Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaners in the future. 2026 year, including official (through the Mi) Home/Mi Home Lite and alternatives (using the HTTP-interception, MITM-Special attention will be paid to Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop models. 2 Lite, Dreame D9, Viomi V3 and other popular devices based on the Xiaomi MiOT platform.

We warn you in advance that the process may require technical skills, and some methods involve risks (for example, recalling a token when updating a firmware or changing the region of your account). If you are a beginner, start with the simplest method (section 2) and then move on to advanced techniques.

1 What is Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Token and Why You Need It

The device token is a unique 32-digit alphanumeric key that is generated by Xiaomi servers when the vacuum cleaner is first associated with the Mi Account. API MiOT (Mi Internet of Things) is a great way to do it:

• 🔄 Manage the vacuum cleaner through Home Assistant, OpenHAB or other smart home systems without an official application.
• 📊 Get Advanced Telemetry: Real-time cleaning maps, sensor status, error history.
• ⚙️ Customized scenarios (for example, starting a cleaning schedule with data from the weather station).
• 🛠️ Bypass the limitations of official software (e.g., enable modes hidden in the standard interface).

It is important to understand that the token is tied to a specific device and account, if you sell a vacuum cleaner or change your Mi Account, the old token will stop working, and Xiaomi can cancel the token when:

• 🔄 Change your account region (e.g. from China (cn) to Russia (en)).
• 📱 Vacuum firmware updates (especially critical for MiOT Spec 2.0 models)+).
• 🔒 Signing in to your account from a new device (security triggers).

⚠️ Warning: The token gives you full control of the device. Never share it in open sources (forums, Githab repositories) – this can lead to account hijacking or unauthorized vacuum cleaner management.

2.Official method: obtaining a token through Mi Home (for beginners)

The easiest method is to extract the token from the logs of the official Mi Home app (or Mi Home Lite for some regions), which works for most models, including:

• 🏠 Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Lite/Pro/Ultra
• 🤖 Dreame D9/D10 Plus/Z10 Pro (based on MiOT)
• 🧹 Viomi V2/V3/SE
• 🔄 Roborock S5/S6/S7 (just for old firmware)

Step-by-step:

1. Install Mi Home (version no older than 6.0.100 for Android or 6.1.4 for iOS: 🤖 Android (Google Play) 🍎 iOS (App Store)

Sign in.

If the token does not appear, try:

• 🔄 Restart the application and repeat the steps.
• 📱 Use a different phone (on some firmware logs clear too quickly).
• 🌐 Change your account region to China (cn) (in Mi Home settings).

⚠️ Note: On iOS, this method only works with jailbreak or through MITM-Proxies (Section 4) For iPhone users without technical skills, we recommend using alternative methods (Section 3).

3. alternative methods without root and ADB

If the official method didn’t work or you’re using an iPhone, try these options:

Method 1: Mi Home Web Interface (for some regions)

Some users report that the token can be extracted through the web version of Mi Home:

1. Go to the https://home.mi.com/ log in.
2. Open Developer Tools in the browser (F12 Ctrl+Shift+I).
3. Go to the Network tab and update the page.
4. Find a request to /api/user/getdevicelist or similar.
5. In the server response, look for the token field for your vacuum cleaner.

Method 2: Use the "Mi Home Token Extractor" app (Android)

There are specialized utilities that automate the extraction of the token:

• 📱 Mi Home Token Extractor (requires Android 8)+).
• 🛠️ 4PDA Token Tool (Russified version).

Instructions:

1. Download and install. APK-File (allow installation from unknown sources).
2. Log in to your Mi Account inside the app.
3. Click Get Tokens – the program will show a list of devices with tokens.

Official (through ADB)|Through the web interface|Specialized utilities|MITM-proxy|Another way.

-->

Method 3: Through Home Assistant integration (if vacuum cleaner has already been added)

If your vacuum cleaner is already connected to the Home Assistant, the token can be extracted from the configuration file:

1. Open the configuration.yaml file.
2. Find the vacuum section: or xiaomi_miio:.
3. The token will be listed in the token setting: for example: vacuum: - platform: xiaomi_miio host: 192.168.1.100 token: 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99

4. Advanced method: interception of the token through MITM-Proxies (for experienced proxies)

If previous methods failed, you can use traffic interception between the Mi Home app and Xiaomi servers, a technique that requires networking skills and can violate Mi Account usage rules (use at your own risk).

Tools required:

• 🖥️ PC with mitmproxy or Charles Proxy installed.
• 📱 Android/iOS-Mi-home.
• 🔐 Certificate MITM telephone-mount.

Step-by-step:

1. Set up a proxy: Run mitmproxy on your PC (mitmproxy command in the terminal). On your phone, set up Wi-Fi to use the proxy (IP your PC, port 8080).
2. Install Certificate: On Android: Download Certificate with http://mitm.it and set it in the settings. → Security → Install from memory. On iOS: go to Settings → Mainstream → Setting up a profile.

Capture traffic:

• Open Mi Home and update the vacuum cleaner data.
• In mitmproxy, look for queries to api.io.mi.com or cn.api.io.mi.com domains.
• In the server's response, find JSON token-field".

Warnings:

• ⚠️ Xiaomi may block an account for suspicious activity (repeated requests to the user) API).
• ⚠️ On iOS 14.+ Apple blocks installation of user certificates without jailbreak.
• ⚠️ Some models (e.g. Roborock) S7 MaxV) uses encrypted channels that are difficult to intercept.

Compatibility table: methods for different models

Not all methods work equally well for different vacuum cleaners. Below is a summary table with the current data for 2026:

If your model is not in the table, try the methods in order:

1. ADB-Log (the most universal).
2. Token Extractor (for Android)
3. MITM-Proxies (for experienced proxies).

Frequent problems and their solutions

When you extract a token, you're going to see some common mistakes.

Problem 1: The token does not appear in the logs ADB

Possible causes and solutions:

• 📱 Too New Mi Home – Reverse to 5.6.10–6.0.100.
• 🌍 Incorrect Account Region – Change to China (cn) in your profile settings.
• 🔄 Cached data – clear the app cache (Settings) → Annexes → Mi Home → Memory. → Clear the cache).
• 🛠️ ADB Do not see the device – check drivers and permissions (adb devices should show your phone).

Problem 2: Token found but not working in Home Assistant

What to do:

• 🔍 Check it out. IP-vacuum cleaner address – it must be static (reserve in the router).
• 📡 Make sure that the vacuum cleaner and the Home Assistant server are on the same network.
• 🔄 Restart the vacuum cleaner (hold the power button for 5 seconds).
• 📝 Check the token format – it should be 32 characters in the lower case (without spaces and dashes).

💡

If the token stopped working after updating the firmware, try to dump the vacuum cleaner to the factory settings (hold the Home buttons). + Power 10 seconds) and repeat the procedure for obtaining a token.

Problem 3: Akkaunt is blocked after MITM-interception

If Xiaomi has blocked your account for “suspicious activity”:

1. Wait 24 hours – often the lock is temporary.
2. Try to log in via the web version and confirm your identity by SMS/email.
3. If the lock is permanent, create a new account and reconfigure the vacuum cleaner.

⚠️ Note: When you change your account, all previous tokens will stop working and the cleaning card data will be reset.We recommend exporting the cards in advance (if your model supports this feature).

7.Security: How to Protect Your Token

The device's token is like your vacuum cleaner password, and if it gets into the wrong hands, an attacker can:

• 🏠 Control the vacuum cleaner remotely (on/off, change settings).
• 📍 Get maps of your home (if the model supports mapping).
• 🔧 Change voice commands or cleaning settings.

Safety regulations:

• 🔐 Never publish a token in open sources (forums, gighab, chat rooms).
• 📄 Store the token in a secure location (for example, in the Bitwarden or KeePass password manager).
• 🔄 Regularly update the token (every 3-6 months), especially if you notice suspicious activity.
• 🛡️ Use two-factor authentication in your Mi Account.
• 🌐 Restrict access to Home Assistant (set up auth and IP-filtering).

If you suspect that the token has been compromised:

1. Untie the vacuum cleaner from your Mi Home account immediately.
2. Drop the vacuum cleaner to the factory settings.
3. Generate a new token and update it in all integrations.

8. Alternatives to the token: Cloud management without risks

If you need to operate the vacuum cleaner through third-party systems, but you don’t want to mess around with tokens, consider these options:

1. Cloud Integration through Mi Cloud

Some plugins (e.g., Xiaomi Cloud Tokens Extractor for Home Assistant) allow you to manage devices without a local token using the cloud. API. That's what we need:

1. Get a cloud token (not to be confused with a local one!) through specialized scripts.
2. Set up integration with Home Assistant with username, password and cloud_token.

Pros: does not depend on the local network, works over the Internet. Cons: delays in management (up to 5 seconds), requires a stable Internet.

2.Use of the official Home Assistant plugin

Some models (like Roborock) have formal integrations that don’t require a token. They use OAuth 2.0 to log in through Mi Account.

3.Smart sockets with scheduled control

If you only need to automatically turn the vacuum cleaner on/off, you can do without the token:

• Connect the vacuum cleaner through a smart socket (e.g. Xiaomi Smart Plug).
• Set up automation in Mi Home or Home Assistant by time or triggers.

This solution does not give control over cleaning settings, but is suitable for basic automation.

💡

If you don’t need advanced features (maps, cleaning areas, sensor status), use cloud integrations or smart sockets – it’s safer and easier to set up.
