Xiaomi Home

Company may be a scam/front. App lacks features and significantly slowed down phone and internet, and connecting a device was a hassle, but it'd be 3 stars if not for another issue. My device had a quality issue, and not only was it and several others I was interested in delisted, but multiple nearly identical devices had been listed under different brands and at a similar price to what I'd bought it for "on sale". If the products are sketchy, who knows why this app slowed my phone down so much!

It works, but has a stupid error. You can't set the time. I use the Smart Pet Feeder 2 and I set feeding time to 5:30, the device start feeding 1 hour later instead. Why? This is totally unacceptable. Also, the UI is confusing, the texts font size is extremely small, I can't read the without glasses while other similar. Apps like Tuya or LEDvance are much more easy to use.

App requires far too much information just to set up a few devices, such as the e-ink clocks. It requires a valid phone number as well. Considering the daily spam calls I get these days, I'd rather not give my phone number out to anyone. I just need to set the time on a clock. I don't need an entire smart home ecosystem for that. Partially my fault for thinking this could be simple. I find the general data mining to be very creepy and unsettling. Deleted the app.
