Review on 🏠 Smartmi Home Air Purifier with Handle - Small Pet Air Purifier with HomeKit & Alexa Compatibility, HEPA H13 Filter, Ultra Quiet Operation (19dB), Dual Sensor - Removes Odor, Smoke, Dust, Pollen & PM2.5 - Ideal for Bedroom and Small Rooms by Sarah Contreras

My review relates more to the technical implementation of this product. It's of very high quality and the price can't be beat for a product in the same category with this kind of integration, although the accompanying app leaves a lot to be desired. Setting up HomeKit was effortless. The code is on a sticker next to the power cord connector. Scan it and the device will take some time to do its thing. I have Google Nest Wi-Fi on both 5GHz and 2.4GHz with the same SSID and haven't had any connection issues. The device appears as a combination of an air purifier and an air quality sensor. Once added, you can change the on/off status, fan speed, and manual/auto mode in the Home app. You can also see the lifespan and status of the filter (I don't remember if this was shown after a firmware update). When you assign the device to a room, the air quality status is displayed along with a general description ('Great' for my room). If you want details, you need to look at the accessory property. Siri can't answer my air quality question. However, this is more of an Apple issue as the device correctly provided HomeKit information. You will need a companion app for more remotes and firmware updates. For this air purifier. Xiaomi has decided to create a new app called Smartmi Link instead of using the Mi Home app on its previous products. The registration process in the application was jerky. So, here's how to navigate: when the app loads, you'll need to give permission to find the device, and you can revoke it later when you add the device. Once in the app, click on "Add device" and you will be prompted to register an account (wait a while if there is no screen). If you only use HomeKit, you can click Trial to use the app without an account. If you choose to create an account, please note that the form is not keyboard scrolled, so you won't see what you typed when you confirm your password. Only after you opt for a trial or sign up for an account can you add the device to the app (if you're in a hurry, the app will never finish adding the device). After you add a device, it takes some time for the filter information to update. So don't be alarmed if the filter life is 0% for a few seconds. Once added, the app will offer you more modes to control your device. The app may not sync with the actual state of the device on first use. So just set up the device as usual in your app and it should match. In the application you can select additional modes, turn off device sounds and display, set a power schedule and a sleep timer. To update your device's firmware, return to the home screen, tap your profile picture in the top left and select "Update Firmware".
