Xiaomi Miio unable to discover the device “Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 4”

[TreborR2]

The problem

I can’t add the device “Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 4” to Xiaomi Miio. The error message is "unable to discover the device "“ip address”. According to the specification, this device is supported. Other Xiaomi devices on the same network via Xiaomi Miio works for me. I tried to run “Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 4” via hass-xiaomi-miot and it works. But there is not so good control of all functions. Any advice on what to try?

I tried turning on the debug log and it tried to find something like this:

I have this same issue with the Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 as well. It identifies as zhimi.airp.mb5a but failed to set up. Anyone able to find a solution? I tried using the Miio Auto integration but it is also unstable (drops connection 50% of the time) with this air purifier. Any feedback is much appreciated.

Same. Started in the last few months, perfect for a year before.

And is there a solution? Will there be any solution?
