Smart Home

Home automation is the ability to control items around the house—from air conditioning to air purification—with a simple push of a button (or a voice command). Some activities, like setting up a lamp to turn on and off at your command, are simple and relatively inexpensive. Others, like advanced surveillance cameras, may require a more serious investment of time and money.

There are many smart home product categories, so you can control everything from lights and temperature to locks and security in your home.

Xiaomi offers a cheap Mi Smart Home solution that it is inherently affordable. The accessories include a Gateway device that acts as a central hub, smart wall plugs, door and window sensors, motion sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, wireless switches, and more. Everything is configured and controlled through the Mi Home app which requires you to set up a free Mi account to get started.
