| Video Discription | Since a recent update, you can now use Siri from your iOS devices to voice control paired devices from the Xiaomi Mi Home APP. How does this work? Let's find out! ▶ Check out my gear on Kit: https://kit.com/Xiaomify It's quite easy to set up these automation rules. -Keep in mind that (for now?!) only the automation rules that are set to 'Manual Control' are supported. These "Manual input" rules can be triggered from within the Mijia APP, through the control center in iOS, and they can now also simply be added as a shortcut to Siri. Once you have added a new 'manual' automation rule, you can find the "Add to Siri" button on top of that list. From there you can record a Siri command that will trigger that rule. It's that easy! Good to know is that this only supports these rules, and only "Then This" type of products are supported. This means you can't inquire the status of your temperature sensor through Siri like you would when using the Aqara hub with Apple Homekit. It does support a lot more products than the Aqara hub with Homekit, but in some ways it's also less convenient. The Homekit integration of the Aqara hub will synchronize your paired Homekit devices to all the devices you have set up your Homekit on; including your iPad's, Mac's, etc.. The Siri shortcut commands from the Xiaomi Mi Home APP won't synchronize between your various devices, so you would have to set up the Siri Commands on each device separately. (The Automation rules, however, WILL be synced.) Another downside is that you will have to use the EXACT same phrase, the way you have set it up. if your phrase is "Turn on desk light" you can not use the phrase "Enable desk lamp" for example. So you would have to remember the exact phrase you have set up. It would be great to add additional phrases to trigger the same command but I doubt this will be an option. Overall it is a great step forward, allowing you to Siri control from within the Mi Home APP is something I did not expect to happen; but it did! I could control most of the products I have installed, these are the same products I can use 'regular' automation rules with, so it works with a lot of devices including the Vacuum Robots, Lights (Philips, Ikea, Xiaomi, Aqara, Yeelight), Power Sockets and Smart Power Strips (all of them), Air Conditioners & AC controllers, Heaters, Fans, etc.. I could not use it with the coffeemaker or the smart laundry machine, but these devices don't have "Start" functionality with automation rules at all so that does make sense. I do hope to see some improvements with this Siri support, (Syncing phrases, several phrases to trigger, etc) but so far it is a lot more then I could ever expect in the first place! |
