What Xiaomi Home is
Xiaomi Home is a free mobile app for managing compatible intelligent devices. It lets users control devices remotely, check their status, share access, and create tasks. Users can add devices through nearby-device detection or find and add them manually. Smart Scenes can automate multiple devices using triggers such as time, weather, sensor data, or device status. The app lists Matter, Zigbee, voice assistant, camera, and energy-monitoring support.
