Xiaomi Mi Smart Home - a smart home for every budget!

Mi Smart Home is a set of sensors giving you full control over your home. This system from Xiaomi offers control of all basic functions in a smart home at a fraction of the cost of professional kits! Ideally suited for apartments or small offices. The sensors connect via WiFi. This system really makes a good impression. A set of smart sensors guarantees a whole new level of automation in your home, improving the comfort of everyday life.

The central and essential point of the kit is the Xiaomi Mi Smart Home Hub control unit, which integrates the devices into the system and helps control all the smart functions. It supports three communication protocols simultaneously for easy and stable operation. Zigbee, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth Mesh can be used in parallel for different devices, with one hub being enough for stable operation of the entire smart home system.

The system can be expanded according to the user's needs and accomodate other devices you have from Xiaomi. The standard set includes:

• Xiaomi Mi Temperature and Humidity Sensor - monitors air temperature and humidity in real time
• Xiaomi Mi Smart Plug - a smart wallsocket that allows remote control
• Xiaomi Mi Window and Door Sensor - reacts to the opening of doors and windows
• Xiaomi Mi Motion Sensor - a motion sensor
• Mi Smart Wireless Switch - allows you to quickly and easily establish control over multiple devices

The individual components of the kit are surprisingly solid and their very small size allows you to place them in any corner of the room. A person unaware of their presence will not even notice them. The devices are powered by watch batteries which suffice for about 2 years of operation.

Xiaomi Mi Smart Home Hub is the centerpiece of the miHome ecosystem. The device supports the ability to control the system by using the Siri voice assistant or the Homekit app. In addition, it is possible to create scenarios that allow you to run any smart home device automatically, depending on the signals received from other devices, even without an Internet connection. The control panel looks minimalist and stylish, and it doesn't stand out in any interior thanks to its small size. At the same time, the use of durable plastic and reliable components allows the device to work stably in a wide range of temperatures and not react to their fluctuations. Reliability of operation in any protocol is confirmed by appropriate certificates, and RoHS compliance confirms the safety of the materials used.

Dual Wi-Fi antenna with MIMO 2×2 technology creates a reliable connection, even in rooms with thick walls, and allows for data transmission over up to 200 meters. Thanks to this, the system based on the Smart Home control panel works well even in very large rooms.

Xiaomi Mi Smart Home Hub can be easily configured and controlled by using the Mi Home app. The entire process is shown below

Xiaomi Mi Temperature and Humidity Sensor can monitor the temperature and humidity in real time. When the measured levels deviate from the comfortable levels, the sensor will automatically send a notification to your smartphone. In addition, you can use the app to view the history and trends of the measurements at any convenient time.


Using the Mi Smart Home Hub and Mi Smart Power Plug, you can sync the sensor with other devices. By connecting to the ecosystem of smart devices, once the sensor is synced with the smart humidifier and the smart outlet to which the air conditioner is connected, it will be possible to automatically maintain the temperature and humidity in the room at the desired level.

Main features and benefits:

• Small size
• Easy installation and connection
• Temperature measurement with an accuracy of ±0.3 degrees
• Humidity measurement with an accuracy of ±3%

Configuration of the device in the mobile application:

The main task of the sensor is to react to the opening of doors and windows. It can then send a signal to the owner if used as part of an alarm system. It can also be easily set up to control air conditioning units, and the sensor will be responsible for turning the humidifier or air conditioner on/off so as not to waste energy when the windows are open.


The compact Xiaomi Mi Window and Door Sensor is part of a smart home system. Window and Door Sensor consists of two small components, the main unit and a magnet, which are mounted in the desired location in a single easy motion using double-sided adhesive tape.

The device can be configured on a smartphone with Mi-Home application installed

The Mi Motion Sensor is the most important part of any smart system, allowing it to monitor activity in a specific area and trigger other sensor-related devices. The sensor can be easily installed in any convenient location in the house. The response time is a minimum of 15 ms. The included battery lasts for nearly 2 years of continuous operation.

Mi Motion Sensor can be used in many different ways. For example, when combined with a smart lamp, it turns on the light when motion is detected. Or it can simply send a signal to the owner, in case it becomes part of a security system. Each of these options can be easily configured and controlled through its own app.

Installation of the device is trivial - just place it in the desired place or attach it using the double-sided tape included in the set.

The Mi Smart Power Plug controls the flow of electricity to selected devices and allows you to remotely use the equipment via a mobile application. No more worries about an unplugged iron or TV, you can easily check if they are using electricity from your phone and turn them off if necessary.

This way you can also start and stop other household appliances, such as air purifiers. The Xiaomi Smart Plug uses Wi-Fi connection technology and can be controlled from anywhere in the world using the app on your phone.

The described set performed exceptionally well in relation to its price. The devices connected without any problems with the phone. Stylish and minimalist design makes the sensors fit into any type of interior. One small drawback is the fact that the application interface isn't translated in completely, and single Chinese characters show up. However, this does not cause a significant problem as the most important functions are clear and in Polish.

Pros:

• Modern, minimalist design
• Durable materials
• Connectivity in three standards - WiFi, Bluetooth and Zigbee 3.0
• Easy and quick device configuration in the app
• Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant

Cons:

• No Polish manual
• Incomplete translation - Individual Chinese characters in the application menu
• You have to find something thin and long to press the button to pair and reset the sensors as no such tool is included
