Xiaomi Mi Home

Installation:

The installation is done through an APP (Android / iOS), so you have to install this first. It strikes me that the APP mega requires a lot of permission, he wants to be able to access your entire phone. This would allow Xiaomi to access your private information. So if you don't like this, then this product is not for you. After you have accepted the terms and conditions, you must choose "Mainland China", if you do not do this you will not be able to do anything with the gateway. The MiHome officially only works in China and with the Chinese servers. You also notice this when logging in to the APP, this takes a while.

After creating an account, you provide the gateway with power. He will say a nice Chinese text and will blink yellow and be found in the APP. After this, your phone will make a temporary connection with the MiHome so that you can connect to the MiHome with your own WiFi. After he was added an update came in immediately and I got an extra APP on my phone (Gateway). If you open this you can add your devices (more on this later).
