Support beyond the box Useful help, without the runaround. Straightforward help for setting up, understanding and troubleshooting your Xiaomi products.

Before you start

A few checks before installation can prevent most setup problems. Always follow the instructions supplied with your specific product.

Confirm that the product is compatible with your phone, network, electrical supply and intended use.
Charge the product fully or connect it to the correct power supply before beginning setup.
Install the Xiaomi Home app or other application specified in the product instructions, where required.
Enable Bluetooth, location access and the requested app permissions where these are required for pairing.
Keep the product, phone and Wi-Fi router close together during the initial connection.
Retain the packaging, accessories, serial information and proof of purchase.

Quick fixes for connection problems

If a smart product will not connect or remain online, work through these steps one at a time.

Restart the product, your phone and the Wi-Fi router before trying to pair again.
Confirm whether the product requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Many smart-home products do not support 5 GHz during setup.
Check that the Wi-Fi password is correct and that the network has a stable internet connection.
Remove the incomplete device entry from the app, reset the product and begin pairing again.
Check the product instructions for the correct reset-button sequence and indicator-light behaviour.
Confirm that the app region and product region are compatible where regional settings apply.
