Xiaomi Home

Xiaomi Home is a free mobile app for managing intelligent devices. Users can control devices remotely, check their status, share access, and create tasks. Devices can be added through nearby-device detection or by searching for them manually. Smart Scenes can automate multiple devices using triggers such as time, weather, sensor data, or device status. Access can be shared from a device card or by inviting another member to the user's family in the app. Xiaomi lists Matter, Zigbee, voice assistant, camera, and energy-monitoring support. Users can link a Mi device with the app for Alexa control; Xiaomi also documents HomeKit support for the Mi Smart Home Hub and the Mi LED Smart Bulb (White & Color) with compatible firmware. The app works on Android and iOS phones and tablets, as well as Xiaomi TVs. Device support and app availability vary by region. Xiaomi says there is no PC version and it is not supported for direct use on Windows or macOS. Its privacy policy says device management can involve Wi-Fi, location, account sign-in, phone, and device information.
