Where Smartmi fits in a smart home

Smartmi products join a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Which app is used depends on the product: the Air Purifier P1 uses Smartmi Link, while several older purifier, humidifier and fan models are set up in Mi Home. Smartmi's FAQ lists Google Assistant and Alexa for most of these and Apple HomeKit for the P1, the Air Purifier and the humidifiers, both reached through Smartmi Link.

That suits people who already use Mi Home, or who want an air purifier or humidifier that also appears in Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa. Home Assistant, openHAB and Homey support the Xiaomi-ecosystem models, but not every Smartmi model is covered, and the P1 appears to sit outside the Mi Home ecosystem. We found no Matter support.

Apps

Smartmi Link

Smartmi's own app. It is used to set up the Air Purifier P1 and is the account that Google Assistant and Alexa link to on several products. Smartmi describes real-time and historical air quality data, fan speed control, timers and schedules for the P1, with Apple HomeKit pairing started from the app's settings.

iPhone Android

Xiaomi Home (Mi Home)

Xiaomi's general smart home app, listed on the App Store as Xiaomi Home and called Mi Home on Smartmi's pages. Smartmi's FAQ uses it for initial setup of the Air Purifier, both evaporative humidifiers, both standing fans and the heaters. It needs a Xiaomi account. Published by Xiaomi, not Smartmi.

Open platforms and developer access
Home AssistantYesThe platform maintains a built-in Xiaomi Miio integration (now described as Xiaomi Home) that covers Zhimi and Xiaomi purifiers, humidifiers, fresh-air units and fans. It signs in with a Xiaomi account to fetch the device token and then connects over the local network. Smartmi does not maintain it, and the page does not name Smartmi as a brand. A Home Assistant forum thread says the Smartmi Air Purifier P1 is not supported there, with Smartmi support reportedly saying it cannot be added to Mi Home. Users there report workarounds through HomeKit Controller (limited sensors) and LocalTuya.Home Assistant Xiaomi Miio source page Forum: Smartmi P1
Home Assistant (Xiaomi Miot)CommunityA custom integration by al-one, installed through HACS.
