Xiaomi Home

Extremely unreliable. It started with notifications being very spotty and has since escalated to simply refusing to grab the camera feed. It's nice to be able to look through your camera from anywhere, but this also means all traffic seems to be going through Xiaomi servers, even when you're at home on the same network. This thing desperately needs a direct Wifi connection instead of solely relying on external services for it to work.

Got the app to sync with the scale. It's laughably bad and inaccurate. For example, it estimates BMI and fat percentage, then uses *different values* to determine if I'm over it under weight. The scale itself is not particularly accurate, but it's the app that misinterprets the result. If this is the data Xiaomi is collecting, I feel pity for the data analysts who must sift through it.

This is incredibly frustrating. No matter what I type in, I cannot change the Wi-Fi name. The system keeps rejecting every attempt with the same error: “Network name contains unsupported characters.” I tried multiple variations—simple letters, numbers, even basic names with no symbols—yet nothing works. For such a basic function, it shouldn’t be this complicated!
