Review on Xiaomi Mi Smart Sensor Set by va Kucsera ᠌

For home automation I use Home Assistant, for each device of this kit there was a use, including for the gateway (it can be used as a night light, doorbell and "alarm" with sound or light about certain events. Its pros: Good kit. Everything separately will cost significantly more. The advantages of this whole kit are as follows: 1. High quality workmanship; 2. Each device in this kit works perfectly in a third-party Home Assistant system. Why not MiHome - see the "disadvantages". Got cons: There is, in fact, only one drawback, and it does not concern this particular set, but the entire MiHome ecosystem from Xiaomi. It has a strong dependence on the region specified in the application settings. Most devices for MiHome only work in the China region. Devices made for sale in Europe do not work through Chinese servers, and vice versa. Since in our country there are devices for sale for both 2022 and China, there is a risk that the user will buy devices for different regions that will be able to "make friends" with each other. In addition, there is a strong dependence on MiHome clouds and therefore on the Internet. Partially, the problem of regions is solved through a modified version of MiHome from the kapiba. Ru website (there are no viruses or other rubbish, it has been checked by a huge number of users), but not completely. In addition, MiHome lacks a large number of types of devices (thermal heads for heating batteries, various relays, etc. ), in this regard, the Tuya Smart ecosystem is noticeably more interesting, but Xiaomi devices cannot be picked up there.
