Xiaomi Mi Scale

Code to read weight measurements from Mi Body Composition Scale (aka Xiaomi Mi Scale V2)

Note: Framework is present to also read from Xiaomi Scale V1, although I do not own one to test so code has not been maintained

Setup:

1. Copy all files
2. Open Xiaomi_Scale.py
3. Edit MQTT Credentials
4. Edit user logic/data on lines 117-131

How to use?

• Must be executed with Python 3 else body measurements are incorrect.
• Must be executed as root, therefore best to schedule via crontab every 5 min (so as not to drain the battery):

*/5 * * * * python3 /path-to-script/Xiaomi_Scale.py
