Xiaomi Mijia App's HarmonyOS Adaptation: Not Yet Supported, WeChat Mini Program Offers Alternative

Rumors circulated in October that a HarmonyOS NEXT version of Xiaomi's Mijia App was imminent. However, IT Home recently confirmed with Xiaomi customer service that the Mijia App is currently unavailable on Huawei phones running HarmonyOS NEXT. Xiaomi stated they are actively communicating with the HarmonyOS team to facilitate the app's adaptation. This means users hoping to use the Mijia App directly on HarmonyOS will need to wait patiently.

This news is potentially disappointing for many Huawei HarmonyOS users who own Xiaomi smart home devices. The Mijia App is the core of Xiaomi's smart home ecosystem, and its extensive device compatibility and rich features are key reasons why many choose Xiaomi. The app currently integrates over 261 categories and 6,000+ models of smart devices, with over 527 million activated devices, demonstrating its market influence and user base. The latest version, 10.0.202, continues to receive functional optimizations and updates for a smoother user experience.

While Mijia App's HarmonyOS adaptation is ongoing, Xiaomi offers a convenient alternative: a WeChat mini program. Users can control some smart home devices through the Mijia mini program within the WeChat app. This provides a temporary solution, alleviating the immediate inconvenience. However, the mini program may have functional limitations compared to the full Mijia App. Some advanced features or personalized settings might be unavailable.

For Xiaomi, quickly completing the Mijia App's HarmonyOS adaptation is crucial for user experience and maintaining its competitiveness in the smart home market. HarmonyOS is a major mobile operating system in China with a growing user base. Timely adaptation will allow Xiaomi to better cover the market, improve user loyalty, and expand its smart home ecosystem. This benefits Xiaomi and promotes ecosystem integration within China's smart home industry, providing users with a more convenient and intelligent experience.

Xiaomi hasn't yet announced a specific timeline for the Mijia App's HarmonyOS adaptation. IT Home will continue to monitor the situation and report any updates. Until then, users can utilize the WeChat mini program as an alternative. We expect Xiaomi to resolve this issue soon, enabling seamless use of the Mijia App's full functionality on HarmonyOS and further solidifying its smart home strategy. This is not only vital for Xiaomi's growth but also a shared expectation of its users. We believe that in the near future, the Mijia App will seamlessly integrate with HarmonyOS, delivering a more convenient and smoother smart home control experience. This progress will positively impact Xiaomi and the entire smart home industry.
