Xiaomi Home review
A free mobile control and automation app focused on compatible Xiaomi devices.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Xiaomi Home, also called Mi Home in some regions, is a mobile app for adding, configuring, and controlling compatible Xiaomi smart-home devices. It suits households building around Xiaomi products who want remote status checks, scheduled actions, and automated scenes in one app. Supported device categories include cameras, lights, air conditioners, fans, switches, smart plugs, and power strips. The app is free on iOS and Android, with device sharing for family members and other Mi accounts. Its practical fit depends on whether the devices in a home are compatible with the app and available in the user’s region.
Automation is a central strength: scenes can respond to time, weather, sensors, or device status, while schedules handle recurring actions for connected devices. Xiaomi hubs can control Zigbee and Bluetooth child devices. For supported camera models, the app includes live view, snapshots, clips, and history playback; supported smart plugs and power strips provide energy-usage statistics. These functions make Xiaomi Home more than a remote-control interface, but their availability varies by model. Buyers looking for camera history or energy monitoring should check that the specific products they plan to connect support those functions.
For ecosystem fit, compatible products can integrate with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and Matter. The app also supports email and documentation as support channels. Its scope remains tied to compatible Xiaomi devices, and support for devices and protocols varies by model and region, so it is a better match for Xiaomi-centered setups than for buyers seeking a vendor-neutral control layer. Choose it for Xiaomi device management, scenes, and supported monitoring; consider another option if your priority is broader device coverage or a non-mobile control experience.
