I feel like nothing was achieved today.
Executive escalation first thing in the morning threw me off balance.
Our Network MSP took 2-3x longer than needed to help me fix a video conferencing room, not helped by a lack of installer documentation.
Then escalation after escalation, and another issue with the Network MSP not being prepared for their job.

How to Zigbeeize a cheap Xiaomi Bluetooth thermometer/hygrometer
Warning: These instructions work for my exact type of thermometers I’ve got. You might have totally different result, including your thermometer getting bricked, so don’t hold me liable for that (damages estimated at 6 dollars USA).
is me making a post after all this time a recession indicator?
So, we all know these guys, right? Cute little thermometery guys making faces at us depending on the climate in our abodes.
Forgive it being slightly dirty, I yanked it from where it’s bravely working just to take this picture.Cheap Xiaomi Bluetooth thermometers, that are decent because they’re cheap and decent. What if I told you that you can get them to report their readings over Zigbee instead?
What do you need
- A cheap Xiaomi thermometer, model number supposedly LYWSD03MMC, although they might have different innards
- A Bluetooth computer (or a smartphone) running a web Bluetooth-capable browser (so, Chrome or Chrome-adjacent)
- A Zigbee gateway that actually supports these (in my case, Home Assistant running ZHA through a ZBT-1 dongle)
- An Android/iOS device that can run Mi Home.
- Python 3 on your computer
- Potentially a way to unbrick a thermometer by taking it apart and hotwiring UART to it
- A little bit of time
The process
So, just to be safe, familiarize yourself with https://github.com/pvvx/ZigbeeTLc.
I assume that we’re starting with a brand-new, factory-reset thermometer, not bound to an account.
First, put the battery in your thermometer boy, then go to https://pvvx.github.io/ATC_MiThermometer/TelinkMiFlasher.html and click “Connect”. Select your thermometer from the list and let it pair.
A list of Bluetooth devices in our neighborhood. LYWSD03MMC is our brave thermometer.If the following is displayed, then we gotta pair the thermometer with the Mi Home app. Install it, then pair your thermometer. It doesn’t matter which room you add it to in the app. Close the web flasher first.
It’s pretty toasty up there, ain’t it so?After the thermometer is paired in the app, we run the following to get our tokens: https://github.com/PiotrMachowski/Xiaomi-cloud-tokens-extractor. For Poland, the right server is de. Turn Bluetooth on your phone/tablet/smart fridge off.
Not enough people appreciate the light mode.Now go back to the flasher. ID goes in the Device known id field, TOKEN goes in the Mi Token field, and where does BLE KEY go? That’s right, in the Mi Bind Key hole. Click “Login” when you’re done.
Aaaaaaand we’re in.We then have to reflash our thermometer with the official firmware, because there can be many firmware versions hiding under the same version number.
Two options to choose from, and pretty obvious which one is the right one.After it’s done, we have to reconnect and flash ATC_v57.bin. You can now turn Bluetooth back on on your smart device.
It’s called ATC because a guy codenamed atc1441 made it.Then we reconnect to it (under its ATC_ alias), and we’re presented with a dizzying list of options.
It feels like defusing a bomb.You’ve got two choices:
- If you only want Zigbee, flash the Zigbee firmware
- If you also need it to continue sending out temperature via Bluetooth LE, flash the ZB firmware.
We’re going with the Zigbee option.
It’s like one of those mirror selfies.After flashing is done, you can open the pairing mode in your Zigbee gateway.
An interview? But I’m wearing casual clothes, and my hair is a mess!And that’s it.
If you’ve got any questions, comments, or whatever, then the comment section is for you. Bring your own fediverse account with you first, though.

So what are you spending your weekend doing?
Me - I'm just gaining root access to my Telstra Smart Modem; so I can get rid of Telstra's feature limitations, and permit the use of IPv6 on my home network (by enable a DHCP-PD v6 Server for my UniFi network).
Turns out this thing runs Open-WRT.

Now that "prompt engineering" is apparently a thing, it makes "software engineering" now feel like an actual engineering discipline by comparison.

Switching to Zuoya GMK70 split keyboard. Remapping the braindead default layout was major pain in the ass. So far it feels like an upgrade over Kinesis Freestyle Pro for half the price. Every keyboard should have an encoder, or four.

Okay so I'm about to get hold of a mini pc for the home lab. Does anyone have a recommendation for OS to run on it (comes with Windows 11 but leaning away from that)
