Type of review

Some pros: I have been wanting to try it for a long time and this set is very suitable for informational purposes. For something more complex than turning on a light bulb by a door open sensor or by pressing a wireless switch, it probably won't work. Different cons: As far as I understand, the difficulties with connecting devices are typical for these Xiaomi products: in some region, one thing works, in some something else. Xiaomi cloud servers slow down, and they are often necessary for settin

It was a reasonable purchase, will order more.

I wanted to connect aqara wired and wireless wall switches to this kit to make a switch repeater. Neither one nor the second switch was connected to the hub, neither in the standard nor in the modified version of mi home, in any region. As a result, it was possible to pair them only manually, not through the application. To do this, it was necessary to manually put the hub and switches into pairing mode. For the hub, I did this by multiple short presses of the button above the hub itself, and…

Pros
  • Quick connection of the sensors that come with the kit
Cons
  • To connect devices that are not included, I had to tinker

Nothing special, there are positive and negative sides.

Suitable for people who decide to get acquainted with the smart home system, without claims for the widest functionality and a huge number of sensors. It will help you understand the basics of automation. For those who want more functionality and more sensors, I advise you to take a closer look at Mi Gateway Hub 3 or Aqura Hub, which also has support for Apple HomeKit (home control using iOS devices)

Pros
  • Everything is done in a proprietary design, but with a number of solutions that are not very clear to me. The sensors have already been paired (I don’t know if this is a plus) Everything is as in the photo.
Cons
  • Non-working motion sensor (I assume it's just a battery) Limited list of modules with which it interacts (Only 2022) station did not see this hub unfortunately. The hub in mainland China becomes almost useless.

I downloaded it from 4pda with a mix from vesa, with it I managed to set the China region and connect it to a Chinese socket. The functionality of the gateway is truncated compared to the Chinese version. I took it for a test, with payment by bonuses it cost around 1.5k. For this price will go. My smart home is based on sonoff + radio sensors. The price is an order of magnitude cheaper than the Xiaomi one, but the automation functionality in the application is lower.

Pros
  • European plug
Cons
  • No radio, only works with native sensors. Chinese Sensors, switches from the socket without dancing with a tambourine cannot be connected.

Normal quality, you can use it.

More like a toy. For serious remote protection of the object (installed in the country) it is impossible to take. Sometimes communication with devices at a remote site is lost. The Internet at the same time works at the facility, I checked it. Sometimes it throws mi home out of the application, you have to log in again. It happens like this: you open the application, and the connected devices are 0, where they have gone is incomprehensible, then they themselves appear also unexpectedly…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • precarious work
