This software acts as a bridge for your Xiaomi devices. It creates a connection between your smart home hardware and your local applications. You gain control over your devices through a simple local setup. This guide helps you install and run the software on your Windows computer.
You need a Windows 10 or 11 computer to run this software. Ensure you have a stable internet connection. You also need an active Xiaomi account to retrieve the necessary credentials for the connection. The application requires no coding skills.
You must visit the project page to download the latest version of this tool.
Click here to open the download page
Choose the file that ends in .exe for the easiest installation experience. Save the file into a folder on your computer. Keep this folder in a location you can find later, such as your Downloads or Documents folder.
- Open the folder where you saved the installer.
- Double-click the file to launch it.
- A security window may appear. Click "More info" and then "Run anyway" if Windows protects the launch.
- The software creates a small control panel on your screen.
- Enter your Xiaomi account email and your password in the provided boxes.
- Click the "Login" button to authenticate the connection.
Once you log in, the application lists your available devices. You select the devices you want to control. Each device has a unique ID number. The software generates a secure token for every device. These tokens allow other programs to talk to your hardware.
If you use a specific home automation platform, copy the generated link from the "Output" box. Paste this link into your other application to finish the setup.
The software runs locally on your machine. Your account credentials stay within the application environment. It does not send your data to external servers other than the official Xiaomi authentication service. You control the connection at all times. Stop the program to sever the link immediately.
If the application fails to fetch your devices, check your internet connection first. Ensure that your Xiaomi account credentials are correct. Sometimes, the firewall asks for permission during the first launch. Allow the program to communicate through your private network when the prompt appears.
If the list remains empty, sign out and sign back in. This step refreshes the connection to the Xiaomi servers. Always check the download page for newer versions if you encounter persistent errors.
Leave the application running in the background if you want constant access to your devices. It uses very little memory. You can minimize it to your taskbar tray. If you restart your computer, you must launch the software again. Place a shortcut on your desktop for quick access.
Keep your installation folder clean. Do not move the main executable file after you set it up. The application creates support files in that folder. Moving it disrupts the connection settings.
Do I need to leave my computer on? Yes. For the bridge to stay active, the application must stay open.
Does this work with all Xiaomi devices? It supports most common smart home devices like lights, plugs, and sensors. Some niche products may not appear in the list.
Is this safe to use? Yes. You use your own credentials and the communication happens over encrypted channels.
Can I run multiple instances? You only need one instance for all your devices. Running multiple copies causes issues with the connection tokens.
You possess full control of your smart home environment now. Enjoy the improved connectivity for your projects.
