Xiaomi Smart Home

Xiaomi Smart Home Products (also known as Mi Ecosystem products) are products released by third-party manufacturers who have partnered with Xiaomi. These products are managed by Xiaomi Home app. Not to be confused with MIJIA, Xiaomi smart home products that are not made by third-party manufacturers.

Xiaomi Home (formerly Mi Home) is the only app that manages Xiaomi smart home products. It is used to manage and communicate with devices to connect them to the network and to each other, using Wifi and Bluetooth. It has been criticized because it is not compatible with Google Home despite being compatible with Amazon Alexa. For some products like Mi camera, there needs to be a sync between Mi Home Account and Google Home app.

Xiaomi launched a smart blood pressure monitor on 24 September 2014, in partnership with iHealth Labs of Silicon Valley, USA. The accompanying app tracks blood pressure, heart rate, average pulse, and other parameters on a real-time chart, then makes recommendations for improvement.

Xiaomi released the Mi Air Purifier on 9 December 2014 in Beijing. This device can clean up to 406 m3 of air in an hour. It uses HEPA technology to reduce polluting particles from as high as 600 ppm to 2.5 ppm. It has a real-time air quality monitor. Users can sync it with a smartphone to control it remotely, receive air quality data, and be alerted when the air filter is dirty.

Xiaomi released the Yi (also called Ants or Xiaoyi) Smart Webcam for CNY 149 on 29 October 2014. It has a 720p resolution, a 111o wide-angle lens with 4x zoom, and the ability to make two-way voice calls. Activated and viewable via smartphone, it doubles as both a webcam for chatting and a security camera with recording capabilities. The camera automatically records whenever it detects movement in view. In June 2015, Xiaomi launched a night vision edition of the Yi Camera with a 940 nm infrared sensor.

Xiaomi began selling the YI action camera for CNY 399, which was created by YI Technology. It comes with a 16 MP Sony IMX206CQC sensor which can record videos at 1080p60 and 720p120. It is waterproof up to 40 m with a waterproof case.

It became very popular even outside China, due to its low price and similar physical dimensions to products from Hero. This encouraged some user-made tweaks for features like shooting in RAW, customizable ISO, and white balance. Compared to the popular GoPro brand of action cameras, Xiaomi's Yi motion camera has electronic motion stabilization, an integrated LCD, dual microphones, a bigger battery, slow motion mode, and timer modes.

The Mi Smart Scale makes measurements ranging from 5 kg to 150 kg, with a 50 g precision, and shows weight in kg and lbs. When paired with the Mi Fit app, which itself pairs with the Mi Band, users can track their weight and BMI. The Mi Smart Scale is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 and is compatible with both Android and iOS. The maker of the scale is Huami, a company Xiaomi invested in.
