Xiaomi is a Chinese consumer electronics maker whose Mi Home ecosystem spans sensors, gateways, plugs, lights, air purifiers, fans, humidifiers, robot vacuums and cameras. Devices are added and controlled through the Xiaomi Home app, which Xiaomi's own support pages still sometimes call Mi Home.
Most Xiaomi devices connect over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and are managed through Xiaomi's cloud account in the Xiaomi Home app. Battery sensors and switches usually go through a Xiaomi gateway that carries Zigbee, and a few newer products are Matter-enabled, including a Wi-Fi bulb and a Thread-capable lock. Alexa linking goes through a Xiaomi Home skill, and Home Assistant has both a built-in integration and an official Xiaomi one.
That suits people who want a broad, low-cost range in one app and who are comfortable with Home Assistant or Homey for local control. It is less simple for Apple Home or Google Home users, because we could not find a documented Xiaomi Home link for either outside the Matter products, and the way devices are supported differs by region, product line and gateway model.

The main app for adding, controlling and sharing Xiaomi smart devices, with scenes and automations, remote control and real-time status. It also covers cameras, including multi-camera split-screen views and optional paid cloud storage for footage. The listing is published by Beijing Xiaomi Co., Ltd, needs iOS 13 or later, and also lists Mac (Apple silicon), Apple Watch and Apple Vision versions. The permission note says the app can sync, pair and control HomeKit devices inside it. Xiaomi's support pages still describe the same setup flow under the name Mi Home. The Android link uses the package name com.xiaomi.smarthome, which a third-party store listing shows under the title Xiaomi Home, but we could not load the Google Play page itself to confirm it.

Many Xiaomi devices are Wi-Fi products. Home Assistant's Xiaomi page lists Wi-Fi smart sockets, power strips, air purifiers, humidifiers, fans and robot vacuums, and Homey's listing shows Wi-Fi devices as LAN. The Xiaomi Matter bulb uses Wi-Fi rather than Thread.
Xiaomi's setup article tells users to keep the device near the phone, and the app can detect nearby devices. A Matter Alpha report lists Bluetooth 5.0 on the new Xiaomi smart lock. The article does not say which devices rely on Bluetooth.
Xiaomi gateways carry Zigbee sub-devices such as sensors, switches and plugs. Home Assistant's Xiaomi page lists gateways with Zigbee sub-devices, and Homey's listing says Xiaomi and Aqara Zigbee sensors, switches and buttons connect through a Xiaomi gateway. Some gateways, such as lumi.gateway.mieu01, cannot list sub-devices locally in Home Assistant.
The Xiaomi Self-Install Smart Lock is reported by Matter Alpha to support Thread, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, and to work with Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa over Thread without a Xiaomi hub. The report is based on certification listings, so range and availability are unconfirmed.
Xiaomi has Matter-certified products: a basic colour bulb that Matter Alpha calls its first Matter end device, a retrofit smart lock, and a Matter update for the Smart Home Hub 2 (Hub 2S in some regions), with no date given for the hub update. HomeKit News reported in January 2025 that Xiaomi had no Matter controller of its own, and that Apple Home needed an Aqara hub for the bulb. We could not confirm whether the Xiaomi Home app or any hub now acts as a Matter controller or bridge. The App Store listing does not mention Matter.
Xiaomi documents linking devices to Alexa. Devices are connected in the Xiaomi Home app first, then the Xiaomi Home skill is enabled in the Alexa app, choosing the skill version that matches the server the device uses, and finally devices are discovered. The page names no specific compatible devices or countries.
Xiaomi's Google Home support page that we read is about Xiaomi phones connecting to Google Home and does not mention the Xiaomi Home app. HomeKit News says the Xiaomi Matter bulb works with Google Home through a cloud-based legacy connection. We could not confirm a documented Xiaomi Home to Google Home link for the wider range.
The Xiaomi Home app listing says the app can sync, pair and control HomeKit devices inside the app, which is the reverse of exposing Xiaomi devices to Apple Home. Matter Alpha says the Matter lock works with Apple Home over Thread. HomeKit News says the Matter bulb needed an Aqara hub for Apple Home. We could not confirm a general Xiaomi Home to Apple Home link.
We did not find a Xiaomi or SmartThings page covering Xiaomi Home devices, and we did not check SmartThings' own catalogue. We could not confirm either way.
Two integrations exist. The built-in Xiaomi Miio integration is maintained by the Home Assistant project, not by Xiaomi. It covers gateways and their Zigbee sub-devices, air purifiers, humidifiers, fans, air quality monitors, robot vacuums, Wi-Fi sockets and more, and it uses local polling: the Xiaomi account is used during setup to fetch each device's IP and 32-character token. Separately, Xiaomi publishes an official Xiaomi Home integration on GitHub, installable through HACS, that signs in with OAuth 2.0 and sends commands through Xiaomi Cloud by default. Local control needs a Xiaomi central hub gateway or a device with a built-in gateway, and a LAN option exists that its authors do not recommend. Its README warns that login tokens are stored in plain text in the Home Assistant configuration.
A community app, Xiaomi Mi Home, by Bretislav Kubesa with contributors, is listed for Homey Pro, Homey Cloud, Homey Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server. It covers air purifiers, fans, humidifiers, robot vacuums, plugs, Philips and Yeelight lights and Zigbee sensors through a Xiaomi gateway, over the local network. The listing says not all devices are supported, that most Wi-Fi devices need a Homey Bridge, and that Xiaomi does not officially support control from outside the Mi Home app. We found no official Athom or Xiaomi app.

Xiaomi developer access
Unconfirmed
Xiaomi's own developer documentation could not be opened, so the terms of any official developer program are unconfirmed. The official Home Assistant integration converts Xiaomi's MIoT-Spec-V2 device definitions into entities and signs in with OAuth 2.0 for six regions (mainland China, Europe, India, Russia, Singapore and the USA). Community tools such as the Xiaomi Cloud Tokens Extractor are used to obtain device tokens for local control, and Homey's listing notes that Xiaomi does not officially support controlling devices from outside the Mi Home app.
Checked 11 November 2026 against the brand's own pages, app store listings and each project's own page. “Not found” means we searched and found nothing, not that it is impossible. Compatibility changes often. Spot an error? Tell us and we will fix it.
