Getting Started

You can conveniently flash, update and configure the bluetooth thermometers remotely using a bluetooth connection and a modern web browser.

Flashing or Updating the Firmware (OTA)

To flash or update the firmware, use a Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Opera Browser.

Go to the Over-the-air Webupdater Page TelinkMiFlasher.html *
If using Linux: Ensure you enabled "experimental web platform features". Therefore copy the according link (i.e. chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features for Chrome), open a new browser tab, paste the copied URL. Now sten the Experimental Web Platform features flag to Enabled. Then restart the browser.
In the Telink Flasher Page: Press Connect: The browser should open a popup with visible Bluetooth devices. Choose the according target device (i.e. LYWSD03MMC) to pair.
After connection is established a Do Acivation button appears. Press this button to start the decryption key process.
Now you can press the Custom Firmware ver x.x button to directly flash the custom firmware. Alternatively you can choose a specific firmware binary (i.e. the original firmware) via the file chooser
Press Start Flashing.

Use TelinkOTA to flash old or alternative versions (ATC1441). This is a program for OTA projects with Telink SDK, no third-party (mijia) protections.

Configuration

After you have flashed the firmware, the device has changed it's bluetooth name to something like ATC_F02AED. Using the TelinkMiFlasher.html you have various configuration options.

General process:

Press Connect
Select the according device to connect/pair (i.e. ATC_F02AED)
Several configuration options appear
Choose Send Config to send changed value to the device. Or press Set default and then Send config to revert to the Defaults

Option Description Temperature and Humidity offset Enter a value to correct the offset of the Temperature or Humidity displayed: For example -1.4 will decrease the Temperature by 1.4° Smiley or Comfort Choose a static smiley or check the "Comfort" Radio box to change the smiley depending on current Temperature and Humidity. Comfort Parameters Defines the Lower (Lo) and Upper (Hi) Range for Temperature and Humidity interpreted as comfort zone. In the default configuration a smiley will appear. Advertising Type Type of supported Bluetooth Advertising Formats. By default all formats are enabled. Set time sends the current time to the device Comfort, Show batt, Clock Ticking the according boxes you can enable interval rotation between different LCD screens. See the example video below.

Example of LCD display modes

You can configure different LCD Display modes using Comfort, Show batt and Clock configuration checkboxes. The enabled LCD Display Modes will appear one-by-one in a loop.

Battery and clock display are enabled in the settings. The rest of the settings is kept default. The video contains 2 cycles.

Average power consumption

Xiaomi Mijia (LYWSD03MMC)

Using the default settings for advertising interval of 2.5 seconds and measurement interval of 10 seconds:

Bluetooth Advertisement: 15..20 uA 3.3V (CR2032 over 6 months)
Bluetooth Connection: 14..25 uA 3.3V (CR2032 over 6 months)

Xiaomi Miaomiaoce (MHO-C401)

Using the default settings for advertising interval of 2.5 seconds and measurement interval of 20 seconds:

Bluetooth Advertisement: 12..30 uA 3.3V (depends on the amount of temperature or humidity changes over time to display)
Bluetooth Connection: 15..30 uA 3.3V (depends on the amount of temperature or humidity changes over time to display)

Bluetooth Advertising Formats

The Firmware can be configured to support one of four different Bluetooth advertisements data formats. Supports bindkey beacon encryption.

You can also configure to transferring everything in turn (round-robin)

Temperature or humidity trigger on GPIO PA5 (label on the "reset" pin)

Xiaomi LYWSD03MMC has a PCB soldering test point. Available without disassembling the case and marked "Reset". Use as a trigger output with adjustable temperature and / or humidity hysteresis. Hysteresis and thresholds are set in TelinkMiFlasher.html. The output status is displayed in the advertising package.

Hysteresis:

=0 off,

if less than zero - activation on decrease,

if more than zero - activation on excess

Setting the pin to "1" or "0" works if both hysteresis are set to zero (TRG off).

Reed Switch on GPIO PA6 (label on the "P10" pin)

It is possible to solder a reed switch on the LYWSD03MMC board to the pins marked "P10" and GND. The state of the reed switch is transferred to the advertising package.

Interface for receiving and displaying data on the LCD.
