Anyone have suggestions for Captchas?

How in holy hell are we supposed to answer these catpchas? Any ideas? They seem intentionally made to be impossible.

they are not that bad ;)

If you have problems with captchas then I suggest using QR auth instead

They are blurry, and have text in all sorts of alignment, so even if you are able to identify every single letter (almost impossible as many are obscured), you still can't be sure of the order of the letters. How does QR auth work? The sensors were bought some time ago and any literature with the is long since lost and there is no qr code on or in the sensor.
Wait, looking back at your letters you just ignored all the small letters, so I tried the second one (which was still waiting for me), and no luck. So QR...how does that work?

When you start Tokens Extractor at the beginning it asks you if you want to use password authentication or QR code authentication. You can select QR instead. You can scan it or use the link shown in the console to log in in the browser instead.

Most probably it has timed out

tried it again, before seeing your answer and still got it wrong. The QR path was much easier, but I might have bigger problems. Even though I have the unit in the xiaomihome app the mi xiaomi doesn't show anything. There is no option for that app on the app store... shoot me.

Thanks for your help. Got to run off now, but will take a look again tomorrow. Nothing is ever easy.

Try QR auth again, but do not select any server. It will check all available ones. Buuuuut it might also be a change on the Xiaomi side - I got one similar case when there were no devices detected despite them being available in Xiaomi Home app

That did it! Thank you much!!
