YIapp "At home" and "Away" modes controlled by Home Assistant / YIHack

[SmartM-ui]

Hi,
There is a way, through integration, sensor, MQTT, to send the command "at home" and "not_home" from Home Assistant and have it read to the YI app. It would be handy for creating automations.
I have noticed that the commands that are sent via integration / MQTT are executed, but are not synchronized by HA / YIapp.
Example, if I activate the cam from YIapp, the switch on Home Assistant continues to be disabled
Thanks

We need to check if the app sends a message to the cam when you toggle this switch.
Capture it and send it to the cam when you want.

I was unable to reverse the configuration file in the cam.
I can't read and write how the cam is configured.
So I saved these settings to a different file and the result is that app and web site are not synchronized.

Do I always capture the data via IPC_Sniff?

Thanks again and sorry for all my requests, but you are the only one who could be able to make the YI better!

I bought it only knowing that there was your YIHACK :-)

[roleoroleo]

Yes, use ipc_sniff.

Hi @roleoroleo
this is the data that is detected when I press the Home and Not_Home button from the YIhome app

Not_Home:
IPC message. Len: 20. Status: No error information!
Parsing message.
01 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 8e 00 01 00 04 00 00 00 00 dd 6d 00

Home:
IPC message. Len: 20. Status: No error information!
Parsing message.
01 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 8e 00 01 00 04 00 00 00 00 dd 6d 00

I hope it can be used for the switch and synchronization with Home Assistant

This is strange, it's the same message.

Hi,
I wanted to try to run the command again to verify the correctness of the data reported, but when I try to change mode in Not_Home, this error is reported:

This is not an error. It's ok.

[SmartM-ui]

This is not an error. It's ok.

OK,
however, it no longer shows the data it reported yesterday:
01 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 8e 00 01 00 04 00 00 00 00 dd 6d 00

I think the "Home/Away" switch is cloud side only.
It probably doesn't affect the cam settings but only the app.

But yesterday when I pressed the home not_home from button, your sniffer received that data:
01 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 8e 00 01 00 04 00 00 00 00 dd 6d 00

today he receives nothing.
After I try again

[roleoroleo]

There are a lot messages between the processes.
Maybe the sniffer caught another one that has nothing to do with Home/Away.
